Abstract
Key reactions have been selected to compare JEFF-3.3 (CIELO 2) and IAEA CIELO (CIELO 1) evaluated nuclear data files for neutron induced reactions on 235U and 238U targets. IAEA CIELO evaluation uses reaction models to construct the evaluation prior, but strongly relied on differential data including all reaction cross sections fitted within the IAEA Neutron Standards project. The JEFF-3.3 evaluation relied on a mix of differential and integral data with strong contribution from nuclear reaction modelling. Differences in evaluations are discussed; a better reproduction of differential data for the IAEA CIELO evaluation is shown for key reaction channels.Keywords
