Production of nuclear data for reactor neutronics calculations

1 PRODUCTION OF NUCLEAR DATA FOR REACTOR NEUTRONICS CALCULATIONS 

Several stages are involved in obtaining the nuclear data sets used in reactor calculations  

an evaluation is made of all the measured data for a substance to produce a single Tjest set of data. This involves examination of all the measured data for consistency and, following this, by statistical averaging. Nuclear theory is used to fit the measurements and extend their range  

processing to produce the data sets used in reactor neutronics programs, and 

validation of the recommended data by analysis of integral measurements made in
