Thermal Neutron Scattering Law (TNSL) Implementation and Testing in FUDGE
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab. (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
Thermal neutron scattering law processing capabilities have been recently implemented in the LLNL code FUDGE (For Updating Data and Generating Evaluations). FUDGE is now capable of producing processed TNSL data for use in Monte Carlo or deterministic transport. To test this new capability, LLNL scientists performed an extensive intercomparison between the Mercury, Ardra, COG and MCNP transport codes. This intercomparison helped probe differences between how TNSL data are handled by the transport codes and by two different processing codes (LLNL’s FUDGE and LANL’s NJOY). This report summarizes recent improvements in FUDGE TNSL capabilities as well as results from the code intercomparison.
