The new version of Japanese evaluated nuclear data library, JENDL-4.0, is tested with integral data of fission systems. This data testing is carried out with a wide range of integral data including the critical benchmarks preserved in the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments, the experimental data of MOX-fueled critical assemblies relating to the plutonium aging effect, the critical data of various fast critical assemblies and the fast reactors JOYO and MONJU, and the post-irradiation examination data of the pressurized-water reactor Takahama-3 and the fast reactor JOYO. The benchmark calculations are performed with a continuous-energy Monte Carlo code MVP-II or a sophisticated deterministic neutron transport code system. Benchmark calculations with other libraries, such as JENDL-3.3, ENDF/B-VII.0 and JEFF-3.1, are also performed, and differences in performance of these libraries are discussed with a help of sensitivity profiles to nuclear data.
