Benchmark of evaluated nuclear data libraries using post-irradiation experimental data on fuel composition changes of the fast reactor JOYO

Yokoyama, Kenji   ; Jin, Tomoyuki*

Post irradiation experiment (PIE) data on depleted fuel composition of the experimental fast reactor "JOYO" MK-II has been accumulated since 1986 in JNC (the former of JAEA). In the present study, all the available PIE data of JOYO MK-II driver fuel were analyzed and integral data concerning $$^{235}$$U depletion and $$^{236}$$U generation were prepared. Both the integral data are sensitive to $$^{235}$$U capture cross section and applicable to nuclear data benchmarks. The recent evaluated nuclear data libraries, JENDL-3.2, -3.3, JEFF-3.1 and ENDF/B-VII, have a tendency to overestimate the generation of $$^{236}$$U. A cross section adjustment demonstrated that re-evaluation of $$^{235}$$U capture cross section improved the overestimation.
