  ORIGIN: ENDF/B-VI.5 and some JENDL-3.2 and ENDL-84 data

  WEIGHTING SPECTRUM: Maxwellian + 1/E + fission spectrum
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The library was generated for the analyses of neutron and gamma shielding. The library includes 176 nuclides based on ENDF/B-VI.5 and has a format of MATXS processed by the NJOY97 code. It can be used to calculate the problem dependant group constants with the TRANSX code for neutron and gamma transport.

4. METHODS

The data were generated at 300 ~ 2100 Kelvin degrees and at 6~8 background cross sections for the self shielding considerations. The infinite diluted data of H-1, H-2, C and Li are included at the temperatures of the thermal scattering law data. The scattering matrices were expanded to P5~P7 of Legendre polynomial. The weighting function used for group averaged neutron cross sections from the pointwise data is "Maxwellian + 1/E + fission spectrum". The library has been validated through the shielding benchmarks such as PCA-REPLICA, NESDIP2, Winfrith Iron, Winfrith Iron88, Winfrith Graphite experiments, etc.
