Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a significant update of the world's evaluated nuclear data libraries. The paper presents selected results of testing the current versions of this evaluated nuclear data libraries such as ENDF/B VII.1, ENDF/B VIII.b5, ROSFOND, BROND 2.2/3.1, JENDL4.0u+, JENDL-4.0/HE, JENDL/HE 2007, CENDL 4.0, TENDL 2015, FENDL 3.0, JEFF 3.2 based on the integral experiments included in the Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) using the RTS&T reference accuracy class code system. The RTS&T code uses continuous-energy nuclear and atomic evaluated data files to simulate of trajectories and discrete interactions of the particles in the energy range from thermal energy up to 20/150/3000 MeV. In current model development, all data types provided by ENDF-6 format are takes account in the coupled multy-particle transport modeling. Universal data reading and preparation procedure allows using various data file written in the ENDF-6 format. The ENDF data pre-processing (linearization, restoration of the resolved resonances, temperature dependent Doppler broadening of the cross sections and checking and correcting of angular distributions and Legendre coefficients for negative values are produced automatically with the ENDF/B Pre-processing codes (v. PREPRO2017): LINEAR, RECENT, SIGMA1 and LEGEND.
