Summary of the breakdown of the contribution to “the difference in diff-k” of nuclide and reaction type is<br />

summarized in Table 2. “The difference in diff-k” is mainly caused by the change of 241 Am capture cross<br />

section, as shown Table 2. “The difference in diff-k” by the change of 239 Pu cross sections cancels among<br />

reaction types, although the change of 239 Pu cross sections brings relatively large impact on “the difference in<br />

diff-k” for each reaction type.<br />

The change of 238 Pu capture cross section also causes “the difference in diff-k” of about +0.08%Δk/k, and<br />

the value of 238 U capture cross section is about -0.05%Δk/k. “The difference in diff-k” of about -0.33%Δk/k<br />

does not match the value of about -0.2%Δk/k, because there are many positive and negative portions and those<br />

cancel each other.<br />

The main contribution to “the difference in diff-k” comes from the 241 Am capture reaction in the following<br />

energy ranges; 1.13eV~1.45eV, 0.47eV~0.62eV and 0.25eV~0.32eV (Fig. 3). This comes from the fact that<br />

there are large positive difference in the cross sections between JENDL-3.3 and JENDL-4.0, and comparatively<br />

large negative sensitivity coefficients in such energy ranges as shown in Fig. 4. Sensitivity coefficients for<br />

“diff-k” of 241 Am capture cross section is always negative caused by the fact that the number density of 241 Am in<br />

MISTRAL core4 is larger than that in EPICURE MH1.2. It should be noted that 241 Am capture cross section<br />

based on JENDL-4.0 is out of one standard deviation of JENDL-3.3 in above energy ranges.
