On the basis of the minimum variance approach, the unified formulation for three types of the cross-section adjustment methods has been derived in a straightforward way without assuming the normal distribution. These methods are intended to minimize the variances of the predicted target core parameters, the adjusted cross-section set, and the calculated integral experimental values. The first and the second methods are found to be slightly different from the extended and the conventional cross-section adjustment methods based on the Bayesian approach with the normal distribution assumption, respectively. However, they become equivalent in some cases and results. The third method is a new method, which is necessary from the viewpoint of the symmetry of the formulation. The derivation procedure proposed in the present paper is potentially applicable to developing more sophisticated cross-section adjustment methods because of the less assumptions on the probability density function.

The effect of experiments using Transmutation Physics Experimental Facility (TEF-P) is analysed from the viewpoint of the reduction of uncertainties in reactor physics parameters (criticality and coolant void reactivity) of an accelerator-driven system (ADS). The analysis is conducted by the nuclear-data adjustment method using JENDL-4.0 on the assumption that ve types of reactor physics experiments (a total of 44 experiments) are performed in TEF-P: (1) criticality experiment, (2) lead void reactivity experiment, (3) reaction rate ratio experiment, (4) sample reactivity experiment, and (5) fuel replacement reactivity experiment. As the result, 1.0% of uncertainty in criticality is found to be reduced to approximately 0.4%, and effective experiments for the reduction of uncertainty in criticality and coolant void reactivity are shown to be fuel replacement reactivity experiments and lead void reactivity experiments, respectively. Although these effects depend largely on the composition and amount of minor-actinide (MA) fuels, it is found that a combination of different types of experiments and database of existing experiments is effective in reducing the uncertainties.
