Status of CINDER and ENDF/B-V based libraries for transmutation calculations

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5167827
The CINDER codes and their data libraries are described, and their range of calculational capabilities are described using documented applications. The importance of ENDF/B data and the features of the ENDF/B-IV and ENDF/B-V fission-product and actinide data files are emphasized. The actinide decay data of ENDF/B-V, augmented by additional data from available sources, are used to produce average decay energy values and neutron source values from sponteneous fission, (..cap alpha..,n) and delayed neutron emission for 144 actinide nuclides that are formed in reactor fuel. The status and characteristics of the CINDER-2 code is described, along with a brief description of more well known code versions; a review of the status of new ENDF/B-V based libraries for all versions is presented.
