Scientific paper

The Department of Energy established the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) in response to the Recommendation 97-2 by the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The NCSP consists of seven elements of which nuclear data measurements and evaluations is a key component. The intent of the nuclear data activities is to provide high resolution nuclear data measurements that are evaluated, validated, and formatted for use by the nuclear criticality safety community to provide improved and reliable calculations for nuclear criticality safety evaluations. High resolution capture, fission, and transmission measurements are performed at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) to address the needs of the criticality safety community and to address known deficiencies in nuclear data evaluations. The activities at ORELA include measurements on both light and heavy nuclei and have been used to identify improvements in measurement techniques that greatly improve the measurement of small capture cross sections. The measurement activities at ORELA provide precise and reliable high-resolution nuclear data for the nuclear criticality safety community.
