Abstract

Reactivity effects due to neutron absorption of Erbium were measured at the Tank-type critical Assembly (TCA) for validation of Erbium’s nuclear data. Absorption effects in the epithermal energy range were measured as well as in the thermal energy range. The reactivities obtained by the integral experimental method were calculated by a two-dimensional discrete-ordinates code using ENDF/B-VI, JEF-2.2 and preliminary JENDL-3.3. All these libraries provides approximately 10% higher reactivities than the measured values in the thermal energy range.
