In October 2010, a series of benchmark experiments was conducted at the Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (CEA) Valduc SILENE facility. These experiments were a joint effort between the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the French CEA to create three benchmarks for verification and validation of radiation transport codes, as well as evaluated nuclear data, used to analyze criticality accident alarm systems (CAASs). Many preliminary details of these experiments and their evaluation have been discussed in previous publications. The first benchmark evaluation was published in 2015, and the second and third evaluations will be published at the end of 2016.
