Improvement of the “best representativity” method toward an industrial application

In this study, for aiming at an industrial application of the method, the method was improved to be more suitable for the single experiment case. In addition, a modification of the calculation procedures was proposed to prevent a very large increase of the final combined uncertainty. Furthermore, to validate the method, calculations were conducted according to ICSBEP 2010 data disk with utilizing critical experiments that were performed at different critical facilities. Simultaneously, with “SCALE 6.1.2” system and “ENDF/B-VII” 238G library, the applicability of the method was studied. All calculation results are shown and explained with physical considerations.
