Abstract
The status of the two neutronics international benchmark projects sanctioned by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD NEA), the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) and the International Reactor Physics Experiment Evaluation Project (IRPhEP), was last directly discussed with the international nuclear data community at the 14th International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology (ND2019) in Beijing, China. Since ND2019, the quantity of available integral benchmark experiment data has increased. The primary purpose of the ICSBEP and IRPhEP is to provide extensively peer-reviewed benchmark data to the international nuclear community in support of validation and testing of nuclear data and models. A total of 28 countries have contributed to the past and continued success of these projects as benchmark evaluations, technical reviews, and experimental data using their own time and resources: 26 to the ICSBEP and 25 to the IRPhEP. Key contributions to the handbooks over the past three years can only be highlighted within this paper. Full technical details and benchmark experiment descriptions can be located within the benchmark reports distributed within recent editions of the handbooks.
