New Evaluation of Neutron Resonance Parameters of Tungsten

Abstract

The importance of tungsten in criticality safety calculation motivated a new evaluation of neutron resonance parameters for the most abundant isotopes 182, 183, 184, 186W. The new evaluation is mainly based on a combined analysis of experimental data already present in the literature (i.e. Camarda et al. and Macklin et al.), together with results of transmission measurements performed at the Geel Electron LINear Accelerator (GELINA) facility on natW.JRC.D.4 - Standards for Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguard
