CIELO.U-238 Evaluation by R. Capote: New Insights and Standards
CIELO.U-238 evaluation conducted by R. Capote and team covers various aspects such as resonance regions, cross-section analysis, and comparison with standard data. The evaluation involves fast neutron regions, fits for uranium reactions, and adoption of new standards. The process includes IAEA evaluation, ENDF data, benchmarking, and validation efforts. Updates on U-238(n,f) are provided along with information on neutron standards and evaluation processes.

Conclusions: 238U file almost ready Resonance range: New measurements and independent REFIT analysis lead to better RPs (bound states) Non-standard region below 20 keV and URR improved New Standard (GMA): excellent agreement with Wallner New fast evaluation with elastic/inelastic improvements PFNS adopted from Talou-Rising for all incident energies RPI quasi-diff. data - a big help for fast region Capture and fission in fast region from Neutron Standards Better multiple neutron emission (CEA Cadarache feedback, LANL feedback, inelastic + diff. TUNL data) Good agreement between B/VII.1 SACS and new eval.
