【 摘 要 】

A new broad-group cross-section library with the DABL69 energy group structure and based on ENDF/B-VI Release 3 data has been created. This new library was prepared using the standard weighting function in the VITAMIN-B6 fine-group cross-section library. The new broad-group library was prepared as a requisite for a project in which various factors in estimated doses to surviving Nagasaki factory workers are being investigated. This report documents the procedure used in creating the new library and provides specifications and limitations of the data which determine the usefulness of the library for problem-specific applications. The published neutron and photon source terms for the Nagasaki calculations have been interpolated to the energy group structure of the new library and are also presented within this report.
