The present paper describes the evaluation of the control rod worth data obtained in the Monju restart core. The best-estimate value and its uncertainty are evaluated in detail. As in the criticality evaluation, data obtained in the previous test is evaluated in the same level of detail. The correlation in the uncertainties is also evaluated among different control rods and tests of the previous and the restart cores. Based on the evaluated data, calculation accuracy is investigated with JENDL-3.3 and JENDL-4.0. It is confirmed that the calculation accuracy is within the experimental uncertainty of 2% for each layer and $^{10}$ B content. A reduction in the uncertainty related to the delayed neutron fraction is effective for a further improvement in the calculation accuracy.
