Verification of Evaluated Nuclear Data File for Vanadium

To summarize the analysis of the contents of evaluated nuclear data files, the layout of the report has been adopted, which includes the requirements for the Review Kit for the FENDL-2 candidate evaluations, as defined at the meeting in De1 Mar [l]. Detailed comparison of the cross section data for Vanadium from ENDF/B-VI and JENDL-3 evaluated nuclear data files has been presented in reports [2, 31. These documents served to select the starter file for a new Vanadium evaluation which was performed at ENEA Bologna to remove some of the shortcommings, particularly to add the double differential cross sections and the total gamma ray emission spectra. In this report the current status of the EFF-3 file for Vanadium is described and some additional comments are made for the convenience of the reviewer. According to the document [l] the review kit should contain: 1. General description, outlining the improvements with respect to FENDL-1. 2. Comparison plots with FENDL-1 and other candidate evaluations. 3. Comparison with experimental data. 4. Legendre coefficients of the angular distributions (MF 4) data
