  ORIGIN: JENDL-2 and ENDF/B-V



WEIGHTING SPECTRUM: the collision density spectrum for a typical large LMFBR core spectrum is used as the weighting function.



%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

ZZ-JFS-3/J2: To improve fast reactor group constant set JFS-3-J2 to  be applicable for high burnup reactor calculation, burnup depending  lumped FP group cross sections for mother fission isotopes of U-235, U-238, Pu-239 and Pu-241 have been generated by using 155 FP nuclides of JENDL-2 and ENDF/B-V data. The group constants for minor actinides such as Np, Am, and Cm have been produced on the basis of  the JENDL-2 data, to be used for TRU-transmutation calculations. This library is designed for JAERI fast reactor analysis and design  code system. This library contains the 70 group constants with quarter-lethargy width for the following 59 nuclides and 12 lumped fission products: H-1, He-4, Be-9, B-10, B-11, C-12, N-14, O-16, Na-23, Al-27, Si, Ar, Ti, V, Cr, Mn-55, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zr, Nb-93, Mo, Eu-151, Eu-153, Gd, Gd-155, Gd-156, Gd-157, Gd-158, Gd-160, Ta-181,  W, Th-228, Th-230, Th-232, Th-233, Th-234, Pa-233, U-233, U-234, U-235, U-236, U-238, Np-237, Np-239, Pu-236, Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241, Pu-242, Am-241, Am-242m, Am-242g, Am-243, Cm-242, Cm-243, Cm-244, Cm-245 and 12 LFPs for 4 mother nuclides (U-235, U-238, Pu-239 and Pu-241) and 3 burnup days (180, 1080 and 1800).

ZZ-JFS-V2: 25-group constants in ABBN energy structure and 70-group  constants in JFS energy structure for the following elements: Be, B-10, B-11, C, O, Na, Al, Si, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Th-232, U-233, U-234, U-235, U-236, U-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241, Pu-242, Am-241, fission products of U-235, and fission products of Pu-239.

4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

ZZ-JFS-3/J2: Group constants are generated with the data processing  code system TIMS-PGG. In this code, the collision density spectrum for a typical large LMFBR core spectrum is used as the weighting function. The group constants in the unresolved resonance region are produced on the basis of the random sampling resonance generation method. The ultra-fine group calculation method is used for the resonance region.
The resonance shielding factors are tabulated for 8 background potential scattering cross sections (0, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 and 1000000 barns), 4 temperatures (300, 800, 2100, and 4500) and 4 resonance  interface parameters.

ZZ-JFS-V2: The cross-section adjustment has been made by using an auxiliary equation for simultaneous evaluations for U-235, U-238, and Pu-239. For light and intermediate elements, the nuclear data for ENDF/B-IV were used.
