Times Cited Count：2036 Percentile：100(Physics, Nuclear)The ENDF/B-VII.1 library is our latest recommended evaluated nuclear data file for use in nuclear science and technology applications, and incorporates advances made in the five years since the release of ENDF/B-VII.0. These advances focus on neutron cross sections, covariances, fission product yields and decay data, and represent work by the US Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) in nuclear data evaluation that utilizes developments in nuclear theory, modeling, simulation, and experiment. It features extension of covered nuclei, covariance data for 190 nuclei, R-matrix analyses of neutron reactions on light nuclei, updates for some medium-heavy and actinoid nuclei, etc. Criticality benchmark tests with a transport simulation code MCNP shows improved performances.

Vertical Displacement Events (VDEs) and Major Disruptions (MDs) of the plasma current will induce large electromagnetic forces on the ITER machine. Estimation of these forces based on accurate modeling of these events is necessary for a robust ITER design. Originally the estimates for electromagnetic forces on ITER were carried out with the help of DINA simulations. However, since simulations of these events may be significantly influenced by model assumptions of a given code it is important to validate the results against other codes like TSC, as also benchmark and update the codes with experimental data. In this paper, we present TSC modeling of the VDE and MD events in NSTX and ASDEX-U devices, which help in improving and validating the models used in the code. The predictive modeling results for ITER with the updated code, including the force predictions, are also presented.
