Abstract
The newest evaluations, adopted for ENDF/B-VII.0, JEFF-3.1, JENDL-3.3 and RUSFOND nuclear data files, for the most important fissile isotopes ²³⁵U, ²³⁸U, and ²³⁹Pu are compared between each other and tested through a set of integral experiments, among them removal cross section under fission threshold of ²³⁸U, critical infinite media SCHERZO-556, and ICSBEP Handbook criticality safety benchmarks.
