The criticality safety benchmark evaluation project (CSBEP) was created to research criticality experiments and provide benchmark descriptions of these experiments for use by nuclear criticality specialists in validating computational tools. Four experiments performed in a 174-l sphere are analyzed as part of this effort. These experiments were completed during the 1950s at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The analysis codes used here are ONEDANT with 27-group ENDF/B-IV cross sections and MCNP with continuous energy ENDF/B-V cross-section data.
