JENDL-4.0: A New Library for Nuclear Science and Engineering

The joint evaluated fission and fusion nuclear data library 3.3 is described. New evaluations for neutron-induced interactions with the major actinides $^{235}\hbox {U}$, $^{238}\hbox {U}$ and $^{239}\hbox {Pu}$, on $^{241}\hbox {Am}$ and $^{23}\hbox {Na}$, $^{59}\hbox {Ni}$, Cr, Cu, Zr, Cd, Hf, W, Au, Pb and Bi are presented. It includes new fission yields, prompt fission neutron spectra and average number of neutrons per fission. In addition, new data for radioactive decay, thermal neutron scattering, gamma-ray emission, neutron activation, delayed neutrons and displacement damage are presented. JEFF-3.3 was complemented by files from the TENDL project. The libraries for photon, proton, deuteron, triton, helion and alpha-particle induced reactions are from TENDL-2017. The demands for uncertainty quantification in modeling led to many new covariance data for the evaluations. A comparison between results from model calculations using the JEFF-3.3 library and those from benchmark experiments for criticality, delayed neutron yields, shielding and decay heat, reveals that JEFF-3.3 performes very well for a wide range of nuclear technology applications, in particular nuclear energy.

Determination of Resonance Parameters and their Covariances from Neutron Induced Reaction Cross Section Data

We have determined the spins $J$ of resonances in the $^{147}\mathrm{Sm}$($n,\ensuremath{\gamma}$) reaction by measuring multiplicities of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray cascades following neutron capture. Using this technique, we were able to determine $J$ values for all but 14 of the 141 known resonances below ${E}_{n}=1$ keV, including 41 firm $J$ assignments for resonances whose spins previously were either unknown or tentative. These new spin assignments, together with previously determined resonance parameters, allowed us to extract level spacings (${D}_{0,3}=11.76\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.93$ and ${D}_{0,4}=11.21\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.85$ eV) and neutron strength functions (${10}^{4}{S}_{0,3}=4.70\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.91$ and ${10}^{4}{S}_{0,4}=4.93\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.92$) for $J=3$ and 4 resonances, respectively. Furthermore, cumulative numbers of resonances and cumulative reduced neutron widths as functions of resonance energy indicate that very few resonances of either spin have been missed below ${E}_{n}=700$ eV. This conclusion is strengthened by the facts that, over this energy range, Wigner distributions calculated using these ${D}_{0}$ values agree with the measured nearest-neighbor level spacings to within the experimental uncertainties, and that the ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{3}$ values calculated from the data also agree with the expected values. Because a nonstatistical effect recently was reported near ${E}_{n}=350$ eV from an analysis of $^{147}\mathrm{Sm}$($n,\ensuremath{\alpha}$) data, we divided the data into two regions; $0l{E}_{n}l350$ eV and $350l{E}_{n}l700$ eV. Using neutron widths from a previous measurement (corrected for new unresolved doublets identified in this work) and published techniques for correcting for missed resonances and for testing whether data are consistent with a Porter-Thomas distribution, we found that the ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{n}^{0}$ distribution for resonances below 350 eV is consistent with the expected Porter-Thomas distribution. However, we found that ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{n}^{0}$ data in the $350l{E}_{n}l700$ eV region are inconsistent with a Porter-Thomas distribution, but in good agreement with a ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{2}$ distribution having $\ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\geqslant}2$ We discuss possible explanations for these observed nonstatistical effects and their possible relation to similar effects previously observed in other nuclides.

Hafnium Resonance Parameter Analysis Using Neutron Capture and Transmission Experiments

The response of the RPI 16-segment NaI(Tl) multiplicity detector system to the γ-rays following neutron radiative capture reactions is discussed. An algorithm which combines the Monte-Carlo γ-cascade code DICEBOX, based on the extreme statistical model, with the general MCNP(4C) Monte-Carlo particle transport computer program is presented. Two processes, the emission of the γ-cascades accompanying the individual events of the neutron capture and the subsequent γ-ray transport through the RPI multiplicity detector were modeled. The efficiency of the RPI system for detecting neutron capture in 149,150 Sm nuclei and the expected distributions of instrumental multiplicity were derived using the combined DICEBOX/MCNP(4C) code. Comparison with measured data is presented.
