An integral measurement program is in progress at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). The major emphasis in this program is on neutron capture cross-section measurements in the Coupled Fast Reactivity Measurement Facility (CFRMF) and in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II). The CFRMF measurements utilize activation techniques to arrive at integral capture cross-section data and similarly the EBR-II measurements utilize isotope dilution mass spectrometry. This paper reviews the status of the INEL measurement program and compare measured data with the ENDF/B derived integrals. Briefly, the results of those comparisons show that the ENDF/B IV data are the order of 25% greater than the CFRMF.
