Dpletion chain of ENDF/B-VII.0?

User Support

In openmc.data (Cross sections - OpenMC), there are endf/b-vii.0 data, however, I can’t find the corresponding depletion chain in openmc.data.
In GitHub - openmc-data-storage/openmc_data, there is no corresponding generate_endf_chain for endfb71.
How can I get it? Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I’m not really sure what you’re looking for. ENDF/B-VII.0 data is more than 20 years old. You should consider using ENDF/B-VII.1 data if at all possible.

Hi @jiangjiang

probably you could try this link: Cross sections - OpenMC

the new web site of openmc/data is really improved since few months to allow better visibility of available data

Thanks! I searched for ENDF/B-VII.0 chain because I found a validation benchmark that uses it. Recently, I’ve been considering ENDF/B-VII.1.

Thanks for your advice! :blush:

You are welcome :),

You are right that for validation it is more accurate to use the same library depletion chain. But, as mentioned by @wcdawn , endf7.0 is an old library and probably you need to generate, which I did not look for how it is done yet!

But if you could use endf7.1 for your problem, it is much easier and save you time.
