Benchmark calculations for a variety of thermal and fast reactors have been performed by using the newly evaluated JENDL-3 Version-2 (JENDL-3.2) file. In the thermal reactor calculations for the uranium and plutonium fueled cores of TRX and TCA, the k{sub eff} and lattice parameters were well predicted. The fast reactor calculations for ZPPR-9 and FCA assemblies showed that the k{sub eff} reactivity worths of Doppler, sodium void and control rod, and reaction rate distribution were in a very good agreement with the experiments.
