International Reactor Dosimetry File 2002 - IAEA Publications

— 238 U(n,γ) 239 U(β – ) 239 Np: The IRDF provides the only evaluated data file,
and fits the data reasonably well, apart from one high data point near
14.5 MeV.
— 238 U(n,f): JENDL and the IRDF are nearly identical, and both sets of
data are slightly lower than the available experimental data.
— 239 Pu(n,f): JENDL gives a better fit to the data than the IRDF.
— 241 Am(n,f): JENDL is the only available file, and gives a good fit to the
average of the available experimental data.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
K.I. Zolotarev of the Institute of Physics and Power Engineering,
Obninsk, Russian Federation, kindly made available his evaluations and renormalizations
of the experimental data for many of the reactions, as noted in the
text. Such evaluations provide the best basis for assessment of the various
cross-section files, and were usually adopted and taken into account during the
review process.
