Requester

Dr Stanislav SIMAKOV at KIT, GER

Project (context)

IRDFF project

Impact

The International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File (IRDFF) aims at providing evaluated neutron dosimetry reactions validated for all applications related to fission reactors and fusion technology development [IAEA2017].

Accuracy

2%-5%

Justification document

Accurate cross sections as well as spectrum-averaged cross sections (SACS) in relevant and well-characterized neutron fields are essential for improvement and validation of the evaluated data [Simakov2017].

Comment from requester

Measurements of the spectrum-averaged cross section are missing for validation purposes, especially for improvement of the prompt fission neutron spectrum at high energy. See Cf252U235_HighThreshold.pdf below.
