The United States evaluated nuclear database, ENDF/B, is organized and implemented by the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG), which is a cooperative industrial/governmental activity involving, at its peak, some 20 different organizations. Since its inception in 1966, CSEWG systematically improved the evaluated database as new experimental and theoretical information became available, periodically issuing new versions of the ENDF/B library. The ENDF/B-VI file initially was issued in 1989-1990 and has been followed by three updated releases, with a fourth to follow soon. The purpose of this paper is to review the status of the ENDF/B-VI data file and to describe recent data testing results obtained with the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) code.
