The nuclear data processing code FRENDY version 1 was released in 2019 to generate ACE formatted cross section files with simple input data. After we released FRENDY version 1, many functions were developed, e.g., neutron multi-group cross section generation, explicit consideration of the resonance interference effect among different nuclides in a material, adaptive setting of the background cross sections, consideration of the resonance upscattering, ACE file perturbation, statistical uncertainty quantification of probability table, and modification of ENDF-6 formatted file. FRENDY version 2 was released including these new functions. It generates GENDF and MATXS formatted neutron multi-group cross section files from an ACE formatted cross section file or an evaluated nuclear data file. This paper explains the features of the new functions implemented in FRENDY version 2 and the verification of the neutron multigroup cross section generation function of this code.KEYWORDS: FRENDYnuclear data processingevaluated nuclear data libraryneutron multigroup cross section generationACEGENDFMATXSDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The criticality, control rod bank worth (CRW), isothermal temperature coefficient (ITC), and in-core detector signals were calculated and compared with the measured data for evaluation. For the criticality, the calculation-to-measurement (C/E) values varied between 1.0001 and 1.0045. Sensitivity analysis by replacing cross section data from the JENDL-4.0u1 with JENDL-5 revealed that 1H, 235U, 238U, and 16O significantly affected the criticality. The individual CRW agreed within 50 pcm, and total CRW also agreed within 100 pcm from the measured values. The ITC results calculated with a temperature deviation of 5.56 K case were negatively overestimated comparing with the measured values; whereas those of with 2.78 K were improved and agreed with the measured values within a standard deviation. The axial detector signals indicated a maximum relative error of 4.46% and the root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.13%. The differences between the previous version of JENDL-4.0u1 and JENDL-5 were also investigated.DisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The impact of the obtained results on the neutron activation cross sections measured relative to monitor cross sections was determined. In the regression method, the efficiencies measured for a set of calibration point sources were analysed by the least-squares analysis. In the Monte Carlo method, the efficiencies for the calibration point sources were calculated by MCNP. The covariances of the efficiencies determined by the regression method were calculated analytically. Perturbation analysis was performed to estimate the covariances of the efficiencies calculated by the Monte Carlo method. Positive correlations higher than 0.8 were found in the uncertainties of the MCNP data for point-like sources. In the case of the regression method, the correlation matrix contains both positive and negative terms. The efficiencies and their covariances were estimated by both methods to take into account sample effects such as geometrical effect and gamma-ray self-absorption and found considerable differences in the cross sections and their uncertainties for reaction products quantified with low energy gammas. The efficiencies and covariances were clearly affected by the properties of the sample.","PeriodicalId":16526,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology","volume":"268 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135678928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, hard lead was also selected for the material of the top reflector in this device. The study also showed that the device had good dose uniformity, and the standard neutron absorption dose in each irradiation zone could be obtained according to the simulation results.

The thicknesses of the concrete and steel shielding blocks ranged from 40 cm to 200 cm and from 20 cm to 80 cm, respectively. The BSS consisted of a spherical 3He proportional counter and five polyethylene moderators with diameters of 7.62 cm, 10.2 cm, 12.7 cm, 17.8 cm, and 24.1 cm, respectively. In addition, polyethylene moderators combined with a lead or copper inner shell were used to increase the sensitivity to high-energy neutrons. The neutron energy spectra were deduced using an unfolding method. The initial guesses were obtained using the PHITS code for each experimental geometry. The response function for the BSS was determined using the MCNP6.2 code with JENDL-4.0/HE. The neutron energy spectra over the entire energy region from 10−4 eV to 10 GeV were successfully obtained for the different shielding conditions.

In the first method, these files were used directly to generate processed libraries preserving all the correlations among different physical quantities. In the second method, the random files generated in the first method were used but the angular distributions of elastic scattering were kept fixed to those of the non-perturbed nominal one. It was found that the two methods gave the same neutron reaction rate after 608 mm penetration of a copper. However, the uncertainty of the first method was smaller than that of the second method. It shows that the correlation between angular distribution of elastic scattering at 0 degrees and total cross section, which stems from Wick’s inequality, affects uncertainty of the calculated neutron reaction rate. It could be concluded that the uncertainty obtained by using the covariance files given in the ENDF-6 format may not give correct results for the uncertainty of neutron penetration calculations.KEYWORDS: Uncertainty of nuclear datacovariancecross-sections14MeV neutron63Cutotal Monte Carlo methodcorrelation of different physical quantitiesfusion neutronicsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
