Integral capture and/or fission rates have been reported earlier for several actinides irradiated in the fast neutron field of the Coupled Fast Reactivity Measurements Facility (CFRMF). These nuclides include /sup 232/Th, /sup 233/U, /sup 235/U, /sup 238/U, /sup 237/Np, /sup 239/Pu, /sup 240/Pu, /sup 242/Pu, /sup 241/Am and /sup 243/Am. This paper forucses on the utilization of these integral data for testing the respective cross sections on ENDF/B-V. Integral cross sections derived from the measured reaction rates are tabulated. Results are presented for cross-section data testing which includes integral testing based on a comparison of calculated and measured integral cross sections and testing based on least-squares-adjustment analyses.
