Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has been working on creating a new centralized repository for MCNP models of critical benchmark experiments. The initial model of U233-COMP-THERM-004 was derived from the Whisper Suite provided with MCNP6.2, and was compared against the ICSBEP handbook chapter for the benchmark. Many notable errors were found in the initial model and were revised accordingly. Comparing the computational model of the old and new models confirmed that any Whisper results that relied upon the old model are still valid.
