The purpose of this study is to compare the results of using either the reference cross-section data set ENDF/B-V or ENDF/B-VI RACER vectorized Monte Carlo calculations on several fast critical experiments. Seven benchmark cores were chosen that span a range of 235U enrichments and neutron leakage fractions. These include Godiva, Flat-Top-25, Zero-Power Reactor (ZPR)-Ill 6F, Vera-1 B, ZPR-III 12, ZPR- III 12, and Zebra-2.
