Validation of IRDFF in 252Cf Standard and IRDF-2002 Reference Neutron Fields

Validation of IRDFF in 252Cf Standard and IRDF-2002 Reference Neutron Fields

The results of validation of the latest release of International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File, IRDFF-1.03, in the standard 252Cf(s.f.) and reference 235U(nth,f) neutron benchmark fields are presented. The spectrum-averaged cross sections were shown to confirm IRDFF-1.03 in the 252Cf standard sp...
