Calculation of the neutron-induced fission cross section of 233Pa

• Since very recently, experimental data for the energy dependence of the 233Pa(n,f) cross section are finally available. This has stimulated a new, self-consistent cross section evaluation for the system n+233Pa in the incident neutron energy range 0.01–6 MeV. The results are quite different compared to earlier evaluation attempts. Since 233Pa is an important intermediary in the thorium based fuel cycle, its neutron reaction cross sections are key parameters in the modeling of future advanced reactor concepts.
