The LLL Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (ENDL) was translated into the ENDF/B Format. This translation is for the convenience of those people who wish to use the ENDL data, but whose main familiarity is with the ENDF/B formats and procedures. Only the portion of ENDL which deals with neutioninduced interactions (including photon production from neutroninduced reactions) was translated. Those parts of the ENDL library which deal with charged-particle- induced reactions were not translated, since they cannot be accommodated within the ENDF/B system. In order to provide a basis ior judging the validity of the ENDL data calculations were made of the output neutron time spectra from the LLL pulsed-sphere experiments, by using for the calculations both the ENDL cross sections and the ENDF/B-III cross sections. Comparisons between these two sets of calculations and the experimental output neutron time spectra provide a basis for judging the relative merits of the ENDL and ENDF-/B-III data sets in the 5 to 20 MeV neutronenergy regime.
