Adjustment of $$^{241}$$Am cross section with Monju reactor physics data

Hazama, Taira ; Takano, Kazuya ; Kitano, Akihiro 

The Japanese prototype fast breeder reactor Monju restarted its reactor physics test in May, 2010 after a 14-year interruption. The accumulation of $$^{241}$$Am due to the $$^{241}$$Pu decay during the interruption reaches 1.5wt% in average. An impact of the reactor physics data obtained in the restart core is investigated by the cross section adjustment technique with JENDL-3.3 and JENDL-4.0. Criticality data obtained before and after the interruption are applied. It is confirmed that Monju reactor physics data, when the two data are used together, effectively adjust $$^{241}$$Am capture cross sections. Consistent results are obtained among JENDL-3.3 after adjustment and JENDL-4.0 before and after the adjustment.
