The NEA Nuclear Science Committee organised an exercise on an intercomparison
of codes and models used to calculate nuclear reaction processes from
20 to 1 600 MeV. This study was initiated to help determine the predictive
ability of current nuclear reaction and transport codes for future design
concepts for transmutation as well as for other application areas -- radiation
oncology, accelerator shielding, astrophysics, radiation during space
travel, etc.
As a follow-up to that exercise, a specialists meeting was organised to
discuss the results of the two benchmark exercises organised by the NEA.
The first one was on microscopic nuclear reaction calculations (thin target)
and the results were published prior to the meeting. The second exercise,
on transport calculations (thick target), is still in progress.
