Abstract
Compilation of the second version of Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (JENDL-2) has been completed. The aim of JENDL-2 is the applications to fast, thermal and fusion reactors, and shielding problems. The evaluated data for 181 nuclides were stored in the ENDF/B-IV format. Various benchmark tests have been performed, and applicability of JENDL-2 was confirmed for the fast and thermal reactor calculations and for the shielding problems. In this review, evaluation work for JENDL-2 is briefly described, and the results of the benchmark tests are summarized.
