OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

Several neutron cross-section libraries used for fluence calculations at the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) based on one-dimensional SN transport calculations are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the BUGLE-80, SAILOR, and ELXSIR libraries yield similar results, while the CASK library predicts significantly different results through and beyond the RPV. The use of the revised ENDF/B- V iron cross sections yields a significant increase in the neutron fluxes beyond the ironcontaining regions. This result has direct impact on the reactor cavity dosimetry that is being considered for the RPV fluence estimation.
