ENDF/B-VIII.0 CROSS SECTION TESTING FOR COPPER NUCLEAR CRITICALITY SAFETY APPLICATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the update from ENDF/B-VII.1 to ENDF/B-VIII.0, copper cross sections were significantly altered in intermediate and fast spectrum of ENDF-VIII.0 library. Performance this ENDF data requires validation determine whether recent evaluation has proven beneficial. To examine performance new library, particularly data, critical benchmarks ICSBEP handbook chosen for their sensitivity section changes modeled using SCALE continuous energy Monte Carlo simulations. Selected ENDF-VII.1 compute k eff within a statistical uncertainty 10 pcm compared reference benchmark experimental criticality. Due choices selection based on set consist intermediately enriched uranium, highly or plutonium systems. 11 separate evaluations containing 32 individual configurations sensitive selected, modelled, This work demonstrates significant decrease deviation between calculated criticality as result library; absolute mean 522.5±39.3 249.6±39.3, root square 630.8±46.1 338.1±74.9. Additionally, role recently evaluated improved agreement is presented, confirming benefit reaffirming data.

Testing Cross-Section Correlation in Panel Data Using Spacings
This article provides tools for characterizing the extent of cross-section correlation in panel data when we do not know a priori how many and which series are correlated. Our tests are based on the probability integral transformation of the ordered correlations. We first split the transformed correlations by their size into two groups, then evaluate the variance ratio of the two subsamples. Th...
متن کاملHybrid Phantom Applications to Nuclear Medicine
Annually, many people are irradiated for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Assessment of radiation dose and its related risks to patients are important issues in radiation protection dosimetry. The complex mathematical calculations of the absorbed and effective doses are now done with computers. The calculations are performed with the help of anthropomorphic computational models of human bod...
متن کاملMobiTest: A Cross-Platform Tool for Testing Mobile Applications
Testing is an essential part of the software development lifecycle. However, it can cost a lot of time and money to perform. For mobile applications, this problem is further exacerbated by the need to develop apps in a short time-span and for multiple platforms. This paper proposes MobiTest, a cross-platform automated testing tool for mobile applications, which uses a domain-specific language f...
متن کاملCross Section for “Ultracold” Neutrons
Very cold neutrons (typical wavelengths are about 102 Ä) are available by recently developed techniques 2. The features of the scattering of these “ultracold” neutrons are investigated in the present paper discussing a few examples of magnetic scattering. The diffraction of neutrons by the vortex lattice in superconductors is treated as an example of elastic scattering, while in most other case...
