Uncertainty reduction using benchmarks
• Idea of using benchmarks for TENDL calibration is not new. – Petten method for
best estimates • Here:
– Multiple correlated benchmarks
– Multiple isotopes within one benchmark

Cases available Benchmarks from ICSBEP Handbook were used in this work. • Method 1: Pu-Met-Fast
– Re-evaluation of previously obtained data. (TENDL2012)
• Method 2: IEU-Met-Fast and HEU-Met-Fast – Curtesy of Steven Van
Der Marck – TENDL2014
Benchmark example – 239Pu Jezebel. Picture taking from the ICSBEP Handbook

Benchmark consists of multiple isotopes contributing to ND uncertainty
I.e., a deviation between C and E can be due to any of these isotopes.

Important to also include the calculation uncertainty
• Main idea: if the calculation deviates from the benchmark value it can be due to σE, σstat, an error in the isotope that we are calibrating, any of the other isotopes in the benchmark, or other errors not accounted for.
• Note: the σE in, e.g., ICSBEP, includes both the actual experimental uncertainty, but also uncertainties in transferring the experiment to a benchmark (e.g., densities).

Working with covariances How can COVE be determined? 1. Careful analysis of the
experiments. 2. Using DICE. 3. Here: guessing,
checking sensitivity of results, and try to be conservative.
COVC is also strongly correlated

Comment on results • Decreased ND uncertainty
to more ‘realistic values’. • Small improvement of the
best-estimates. – Strong correlations
• The inclusion of COVC and ρexp=0.5 affects the ND uncertainty but not the mean values. – If COVC is included the
results are quite insensitive to the value of ρexp.

Method 2 • All isotopes of interest are
varied simultaneously • Intrinsically the
uncertainty of the different isotopes are taking into account simultaneously
• Investigated for U8 and U5.

Difficult to fit the experimental data?
• Wrong model parameter distribution? • Model defects?
– Solution Gaussian Processes? • To small experimental uncertainties or wrong
experimental covariance matrix.

Method 1 vs. Method 2 Method 2 -hypothesis • Better calibration of the best
estimate- due to higher degree of freedom
• Smaller posterior ND uncertainty – negative correlations between isotopes.
• Higher cost in terms of random files needed. I.e., the method produce lower average weights.
Proposal • Use Method 1 for the
complete models to determine the uncertainty for minor isotopes (e.g. 234U) and Method 2 for the major isotopes (235, 238U).
Limitation of this work • To few effective randomfiles • ENDF/B-VII.0 used as
background library

How is the uncertainty reduced? • Using integral data introduce
correlations: between isotopes and between different parts of the ND file.
• Difficult to improve nuclear physics
• Improve understanding of reactor behavior.

Conclusion Methods for the inclusion of integral experiments for nuclear data calibration and uncertainty reduction within the TMC method were presented. It was stressed that calculation uncertainties should be included.
– The correlation between the benchmarks are important
– Important to take into account the multiple isotopes within the benchmarks
