TL;DR: The JEFF-3.3 data library as mentioned in this paper is a joint evaluated fission and fusion nuclear data library 3.3 which includes new fission yields, prompt fission neutron spectra and average number of neutrons per fission.

TL;DR: The Whisper-1.1 benchmark library as discussed by the authors is a collection of critical experiments from the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) Handbook modeled for use with MCNP.

TL;DR: In this paper , a comparison is made between Upper Subcritical Limits (USL) obtained using each code package for each application case, and results show that benchmark selection has a greater influence on the USL than the method used for calculation of bias and bias uncertainty.

TL;DR: In this paper , two major families of methods to deal with the assessment of the rod positioning uncertainty in a lattice are tested: a traditional one described in the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (IHECSBE) Handbook and the other one consisting in sampling the position of rods with Monte Carlo techniques (ISO Uncertainty Guidelines).

TL;DR: In this article , the resolved resonance evaluation of 16O in the energy range from thermal to 6 MeV was carried out with the SAMMY code and the evaluation was used to calculate critical benchmark experiment sensitive to the 16O cross sections.
