Book Description
From IAEA conference on physics of fast reactors; Tokyo, Japan (16 Oct 1973). The Evaluated Nuclear Data File is part of a system developed by the USAEC to improve the quality and facilitate the use of nuclear data in applications. The widespread use of a single, welldefined format reduces the number of schemes necessary to process information or compare alternate data sets. A network of checking codes that examine the consistency of the data sets and perform physical checks against known nuclear properties helps to ensure the reliability of the file. The basic elements of the ENDF system are described, and the organization and purposes of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) are discussed. (7 figures) (RWR).
