The objective of this study was to compare calculations of pressure vessel surveillance dosimetry foil reaction rates computed using the ENDF/B-V and ENDF/B-VI cross-section libraries. Reaction rates for dosimetry foils irradiated in the cavity surrounding the pressure vessel of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) were determined using the MCNP4A code with ENDF/B-V and -VI cross sections. The computed reaction rates were compared to measured ones obtained during three fuel cycles of the Arkansas Nuclear One Unit 1 (ANO-1).
