TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report new calculations of antineutrino spectra including the latest information from nuclear databases and a detailed error budget, which is based on the so-called ab initio approach where the sum of all beta-branches of all fission products predicted by an evolution code.

TL;DR: It is concluded that new total absorption technique measurements are mandatory to improve the reliability of the predicted spectra of (235)U, (239,241)Pu, and, in particular, (238)U for which no measurement has been published yet.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the impact of the inclusion of the recently measured β decay properties of the {sup 102,104,105,106,107}Tc, {sup 105}Mo, and {sup 101}Nb nuclei in the calculation of the antineutrino (anti-ν) energy spectra arising after the fissions of the four main fissile isotopes in PWRs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an analysis of the antineutrino emission associated to a thermal research reactor: the OSIRIS reactor located in Saclay, France.
