15、andard to present specifications forthe preparation of nuclear data sets for use in reactor physics computer pro-grams employed in the design of nuclear reactors and to specify certain data setsas standards. The nuclear data used in reactor design calculations are funda-mental physical quantities an

16、d, hence, are independent of reactor type. The lackof complete, exact experimental measurements requires the use of evaluatedestimates of the data. This standard specifies guidelines for such evaluationsand specifies how the resulting data sets should be processed, tested, validated,and documented.T

17、his standard is intended primarily for nuclear data used for reactor core cal-culations. However, it may be of use in shielding calculations and in other areas,such as dosimetry and fusion.This standard presents specifications for the preparation of evaluated nucleardata sets, processed continuous d

18、ata sets, and energy averaged data sets for usein nuclear reactors. ENDF0B-VI is identified as a standard evaluated data set.An MCNP cross-section library is identified as a standard processed continuousdata set. It is believed that the development of standard averaged data sets foruse in reactor de

19、sign is an achievable goal, and therefore, procedures have beenestablished in this standard for achieving this objective.This standard was developed by Working Group ANS-19.l of the American Nu-clear Society Standards Committee, which had the following member at the timeit prepared and approved this

29、ations. The specifications includea! criteria for acceptance of evaluated nu-clear data sets; b! criteria for processing eval-uated data and preparation of processedcontinuous data and averaged data sets; andc! identification of specific evaluated, pro-cessed continuous, and averaged data sets thatm

30、eet these criteria for specific reactor types.1.2 ApplicationsNuclear data sets shall consist of basicmicro-scopic nuclear physics data that include butare not limited to the important neutron-induced reactions. The data set, in the pro-cessed form, will be primarily utilized as inputto fission reac

31、tor core design calculations butmay have applications to other fields, such asshielding, dosimetry, or fusion studies.The specific types of data sets considered tofall within the scope of this standard are showninFigure 1 and defined more precisely in Sec-tion 2, “Definitions.” As indicated inFigure

32、 1,the scope of this standard does not pertaintoexperimental techniques for the measurementof nuclear data or to the development of nu-clear model theory. The scope does not apply toa few-group collapsed data set, which is repre-sentative of a particular application except fora requirement for the d

33、ocumentation of col-lapsed data sets when such data sets are pre-pared as part of the testing of the nuclear datasets covered by this standard.The distinguished features of data sets consid-ered to fall within the scope of this standardare that they can be represented as being ap-plicable to a wide
