ImpactIt is necessary in the ADS design study. Obninsk scientists report important difference of fission neutron spectra from ENDF/B-VI evaluation at MeV energies.

Review commentIt appears that experimental work for the neutron-induced reaction will be near to impossible on account of the required amount of sample material. Could this work be carried out by using a transfer reaction?
The importance of the fission neutron spectrum is not contested. It is a significant problem also for the major actinides and for those it is a recurrent subject of debate. The present request is dubbed a general request since it is not backed by a direct sensitivity study. The methodology of such sensitivity studies was recently explored by WPEC Subgroup 26 (link to WPEC Subgroup 26 Report in PDF format, 6 Mb). In that report it is also mentioned that substantial uncertainties may result from the fission spectrum but that further work is required.
Entry statusWork in progress (as of SG-C review of May 2018)
