The dataset contains all of the necessary input data and information from which to perform a validation of a nuclear data library with an inventory code against the JAEA-generated decay-heat benchmark from the FNS (fusion-neutron-source) facility. As well as the experimental data for each material, the data set also contains example simulation input files for the FISPACT-II inventory code, which includes information about the material specification, irradiation schedule, neutron spectrum and experimental measurement times. These simulation files can be sued directly with FISPACT-II or can be modified for use with a user’s own personal choice of simulation tool. More details and understanding of the benchmark can be found in:
