“…Although light water ice is not a very efficient cold moderator due to its relatively high effective temperature, it has been studied in the past in the context of advanced neutron sources to take into account the effect of ice layers, and as a component of methane clathrates [353,354]. Aside of this, nuclear fuel material transportation conditions might include the presence of ice [355] and would require thermal scattering data for the assessment of criticality safety.…”

The joint evaluated fission and fusion nuclear data library 3.3 is described. New evaluations for neutroninduced interactions with the major actinides 235 U, 238 U and 239 Pu, on 241 Am and 23 Na, 59 Ni, Cr, Cu, Zr, Cd, Hf, W, Au, Pb and Bi are presented. It includes new fission yields, prompt fission neutron spectra and average number of neutrons per fission. In addition, new data for radioactive decay, thermal neutron scattering, gamma-ray emission, neutron activation, delayed neutrons and displacement damage are presented. JEFF-3.3 was complemented by files from the TENDL project. The libraries for photon, proton, deuteron, triton, helion and alpha-particle induced reactions are from TENDL-2017. The demands for uncertainty quantification in modeling led to many new covariance data for the evaluations. A comparison between results from model calculations using the JEFF-3.3 library and those from benchmark experiments for criticality, delayed neutron yields, shielding and decay heat, reveals that JEFF-3.3 performes very well for a wide range of nuclear technology applications, in particular nuclear energy.
