Improvements and Extensions of the Neutron Cross Section and Fluence Standards

Improvements have been made to the nuclear data standards largely as a result of an IAEA Data Development Project. The work includes the traditional activities related to standards, extending the energy ranges of some standards, and reference data that are not as well known as the standards but can be very useful in the measurements of certain types of cross sections. Also included is an effort to improve evaluations of ²³⁵U thermal and ²⁵²Cf spontaneous fission neutron spectra.
