The generation and distribution of nuclear data as well as the benchmarking of the performance of codes and data is a global effort. In the US, nuclear data that is used to analyze fission systems are primarily generated by teams supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Physics (NP) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), including the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP). These teams collaborate through the Cross-Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) to create and test the ENDF libraries prior to distribution. They advocate for improved performance applications of interest to their mission, but because nuclear energy interests are not well represented at the review meetings, the impact of updates to nuclear data and associated uncertainty information on nuclear energy applications is often overlooked.
