The presentation discusses how the NCSU graphite SDT ORELA experiment is under development as a benchmark. It discusses the testing of various ENDF/B-VII.1 and ENDF/B-VIII.0 graphite libraries that have been performed using the PROTEUS benchmark. The presentation demonstrates that the NSCU Polyethylene ENDF/B-VIII.0 TSL improves agreement with total cross section measurements. The presentation concludes by stating that the NCSU single crystal sapphire TSL library is based on realistic data.
