for 89 fission products (representing 99% of fission product absorption). The ANSWERS Monte Carlo<br />

code MONK can be run using discrete energy dependence, by utilising a broad group (i.e. 172 groups)<br />

nuclear data library, or using continuous (or point) energy. This latter option removes the approximations<br />

inherent in using discrete energy groups. To run in point energy mode, MONK uses the BINGO [1] collision<br />

processor and associated point energy nuclear data library. BINGO is the successor to the DICE collision<br />

processor which utilised a hyper-fine energy group scheme (13193 groups). For the point energy BINGO<br />

library, it is necessary transform the evaluated data from the standard ENDF-6 format, to a form that<br />

allows efficient Monte-Carlo sampling. This is done using a code called the BINGO Pre-Processor (BPP).<br />

The BPP uses the NJOY nuclear data processing code to reconstruct and Doppler broaden the crosssections<br />

to form a smoothly varying function of energy. The secondary angle and energy data for emitted<br />

neutrons are transformed into equi-probable bins or probability functions. The broad group library used by<br />

MONK is identical with the library applied in the ANSWERS deterministic neutronics code, WIMS. For<br />

this library, NJOY is again used to reconstruct and Doppler broaden the cross-sections but, in this case,<br />

NJOY is further used to produce the group averaged data for both the cross-sections and emitted data.<br />

These data are then transformed into the specific form required for the WIMS library. This paper will<br />

describe the methodologies used to generate the BINGO point energy and WIMS broad group libraries. It<br />

will also present MONK benchmark results for libraries derived from the JEFF3.1.2 evaluated data library.<br />

The “Neutrons For Science” (NFS) facility will be a component of SPIRAL-2 laboratory under construction<br />

at Caen (France). The SPIRAL-2 facility will be dedicated to the production of high intensity of Radioactive<br />

Ions Beams (RIB). The high-power, superconducting driver LINAG (linear accelerator of GANIL) will<br />

accelerate deuteron beams to produce neutrons by breakup reactions on a C converter.These neutrons will<br />
