Abstract

The fission spectrum and the inelastic scattering spectrum of ENDF/B-IV ²³⁹Pu data were modified. The variations of k_eff and of the leakage spectrum induced by these modifications were calculated for a bare ²³⁹Pu critical sphere, as a typical metallic assembly. In certain cases these modifications lead to substantial variations in k_eff. Guides for reasonable changes in the representation of the spectra were obtained. The variations in k_eff and in the leakage spectrum caused by these reasonable changes were found to be within their experimental errors.
