A recent study has concluded that primarily because of changes to the cross sections for uranium 235 and uranium 238, Rev. 2 of the ENDF/B-VI cross section library predicts higher reactivity than does ENDF/B-V for highly enriched uranium fuel in thermal reactors than it predicts lower reactivity for natural or slightly enriched uranium fuel.
