We need to expand the variety of applications to rigorously test libraries. Advanced reactors: – Decreasing reactivity for 8.1b2 compared to 8.0, some unexpected nuclides causing major differences (F-19, Cr), no clear performance difference when compared to experiment. Depletion RCA: – High impact isotopes closer to 7.1 – Small improvement on average (U-5, Pu-9, BC FPs), worse for Am and Cm. Fuel reactivity: – 8.1b2 is higher reactivity at high burnups than 8.0, but likely under predicting keff for PWRs at high burnup.
