To process the evaluated nuclear data file (ENDF) libraries and generate the cross section data library for neutronics calculations, a new nuclear data processing system NECP-Atlas was developed by Nuclear Engineering Computational Physics Lab. of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Meanwhile, some flaws of the current widely used nuclear data processing systems were made up. Some new methods and techniques were proposed and integrated into NECP-Atlas. NECP-Atlas could process ENDF and generate point-wise evaluated nuclear data file (PENDF) and the multigroup cross section data library in WIMS-D format. Verification of NECP-Atlas was carried out by comparing the keff values for WLUP benchmark cases and benchmark experiments in the ICSBEP handbook using cross section data libraries processed by NECP-Atlas with those by NJOY2016. The results showed that NECP-Atlas processes the ENDF correctly and generates more reliable cross section data libraries.

A point-wise cross-section data library HENDL-ADS/MC (Hybrid Evaluated Nuclear Data Library) has been produced by FDS team to do the nuclear analysis for the ADS system. The HENDL-ADS/MC library contained 408 nuclide cross-section files including actinides, fission products and structural materials for neutron energy up to 150 MeV. The nuclear library also contained several sub-libraries with different temperatures. A series of neutron integral experiments and critical safety benchmarks have been performed to test the availability and reliability of the HENDL-ADS/MC data library. To validate and qualify the reliability of the high neutron energy cross section for HENDL-ADS/MC library further, a series of high neutron shielding experiments have been performed using MCNP. The testing results indicated the accuracy and reliability of HENDL-ADS/MC library.

The accuracy of the nuclear cross section data is a prerequisite for the accuracy of reactor physics calculations. The RXSP(Reactor Cross Section Processing Code) which is developed by REAL (Reactor Engineering Analysis Laboratory) of Department of Engineering Physics in Tsinghua University, has changed the situation in China that nuclear cross section processing has been dependent of NJOY for a long time. The key methods such as fast Doppler broadening, thermal libraries interpolation, and OpenMP parallel acceleration, can be achieved with RXSP. This code is able to process the original data of ENDF/B (Evaluated Nuclear Data File/B) efficiently and accurately to produce the continuous energy point cross section data which is necessary for RMC. By comparing with NJOY, The microscopic and macroscopic verification shows that RXSP has the same accuracy as NJOY while RXSP has saved greatly the processing time to meet the efficient demand in the frequent reactor physics-thermal-hydraulic coupling calculations to solve the complex questions related on a large number of materials and temperature. In addition, RXSP make it available to process the resonance parameters of the R-matrix Limited format.

We investigated the generation of proton- and alpha-induced nuclear cross-section data in the production of Indium-111 (111In) for application in nuclear medicine. Here, we are interested in three reaction channels, which are 109Ag (α, 2n), 111Cd (p, n) and 112Cd (p, 2n), in the production of 111In. A random forest algorithm was used to generate nuclear cross-section data by using an experimental nuclear cross-section from the Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data (EXFOR) database as input. Hence, reasonably accurate regression curves of nuclear cross-section data could be produced with the evaluated nuclear data library ENDF/B-VII.0 set as the benchmark.

The total neutron cross section of 11Β has been measured from 7.2 to 8.4 MeV. The analysis of all data from the 8Li(α,n0)11Β reaction in combination with the total cross section data can determine an upper limit on the stellar reaction rate of the 8Li(a,n)11Β reaction.
