Improvements in ENDF/B-VI iron and possible impacts on pressure vessel surveillance dosimetry.

摘要

The ENDF/B-VI cross-section evaluations for the four iron isotopes are summarized, emphasizing the major improvements over ENDF/B-V. The evaluations were mostly based on a preliminary file generated in 1986 for natural iron that has been used for re-calculating several neutron-transport experiments, of all which showed improved agreement. These re-analyses, including those for pressure-vessel surveillance dosimetry, are also discussed. 20 refs., 3 figs.
