Abstract

It was verified after a fuel burnup calculation with the WIMSD-5b code using the IAEA.LIB library that the computed average number of neutrons released per fission of Pu 94 242 shows up as a Not-a-Number (NaN) for some energy groups. As this problem does not permit the use of the generated multigroup microscopic cross sections by a reactor calculation code, the value of 1.0E−38 barns was attributed to all energy groups of the IAEA.LIB library that have null values of multigroup microscopic fission cross sections for this material.
