The validation of PU-MET-FAST-016 contributed to the centralized LANL benchmark repository currently under development. The revisions made the MCNP models statistically, significantly more similar to the benchmark models. The overall impact on the USL is negligible. The revisions to the PU-MET-FAST-016 models provide value to the Los Alamos Benchmark Suite without invalidating past Whisper results.
