Consistency Among the Results of the ASPIS Iron88, PCA Replica, and PCA ORNL Benchmark Experiments

Iron is an essential element in the construction materials for fission and fusion reactors. Due to its complexity, evaluation of iron cross sections continues represent a challenge international nuclear data community. A comprehensive validation any new (and computational procedure) against experimental benchmarks therefore needed. The shielding benchmark database SINBAD includes relatively numerous experiments with as material; altogether, 27 several more are known but have not yet been evaluated database. However, order use information confidence rely on predictions based integral calculations, it crucial verify quality accuracy measurements themselves, well (completeness of) available information. This done scope process. further check reliability can be achieved by intercomparing results similar types checking consistency among them.
