Abstract
⺠Reaction rates were measured by the foil activation technique in the subcritical core of YALINA-Booster. ⺠The experimental results are compared with MCNP calculations using ENDFB-6.8, JEFF-3.1.1 and CENDL-3.1 libraries. ⺠A discrepancy of the C/E values for high-threshold reactions reaches up to 20% for all three libraries. ⺠An inaccurate cross section of 115In(n, γ)116Inm reaction is identified in CENDL-3.1. ⺠The results indicate a difficulty of precise reaction rate calculations by MCNP in subcritical systems using the common neutron cross section libraries.
