OSTI ID:5662579
A new ASTM Standard Recommended Guide on Application of ENDF/A Cross Section and Uncertainty File is in preparation by ASTM Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications. This ASTM Standard is being prepared in support of the standardization of physics-dosimetry procedures and data needed for Light Water Reactor (LWR) power plant pressure vessel and support structure materials surveillance and test reactor development programs. The main subject of this paper is the estabilishment of the ENDF/A Cross Section and Uncertainty File. The development of evaluated cross section files such as the evaluated nuclear data file, ENDF/B, has occurred mainly to meet the needs of physics calculators. These files are tested by calculations of well-measured benchmark problems such as reactivity or critical mass measurements. Data in the files have then been re-evaluated where disagreements with the benchmark measurements indicate data to be deficient.
