| Research Abstract: |
| The Generalized Linear Least-Squares Cross-Section Adjustment |
| methodology, used in criticality safety problems can handle prior |
| parameter correlations and prior response-parameter correlations. In |
| this work the two parameters one response model of the generalized |
| linear least squares parameter adjustment methodology was used in |
| order to analyze the procedure of improving cross sections agreement |
| with integral experimental results by tuning. The tuning procedure |
| can be achieved by modifying only one parameter, for instance the |
| modification of v in ENDF/B-VII.0, in order to improve |
| agreement of calculated responses with corresponding integral |
| measurements results. The two parameters one response model formulas |
| will be presented and reduced to a tuning simulation mode, analyzed |
| and illustrated by a criticality numerical example. (Trans. Isr. |
