Benchmarking the new ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear data library for OECD/NEA medium 1000 MWth sodium-cooled fast reactor

This paper presents the benchmark evaluation of the new ENDF/B-VIII.0 nuclear library for the OECD/NEA Medium 1000 MWth Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor (SFR). There are 2 SFR cores: metallic fueled (MET-1000) and oxide fueled (MOX-1000). The continuous-energy Monte Carlo Serpent2 code was used as the cal...
