The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has investigated the accelerator-driven system (ADS) to transmute minor actinides discharged from nuclear power plants. The ADS investigated by JAEA is a lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) cooled-tank-type ADS. It has been known that there was a major upgrade for the cross section data of lead isotopes from JENDL-3.3 to JENDL-4.0. Due to this upgrade, the value of $k_{eff}$ of the core was significantly changed, from 0.97 calculated by JENDL-3.3 to 1.00 calculated by JENDL-4.0. The difference was mainly caused by the cross section data of the lead isotopes from JENDL-3.3 to JENDL-4.0. This study aims to measure sample worth reactivity from aluminum plates to lead or LBE ones to validate the nuclear data of lead and bismuth isotopes.
