The European Community International Tokamak Reactor (INTOR-EC) was used to investigate the influence of different cross-section libraries on the tritium breeding ratio. Nucleonic analyses were performed using the discrete-ordinates transport codes ANISN and ONEDANT, and the recently developed Swiss surface-flux code SURCU. Nuclear data considered were from the DLC-37, VITAMIN-C (DLC-41 ), Los Alamos-NJOY and MACKLIB-IV fusion libraries. It is shown that very good agreement (within 0.5%) between the breeding ratios obtained using the VITAMIN-C and Los Alamos libraries could be obtained, whereas the corresponding values calculated using VITAMIN-C and MACKLIB-IV data sets collapsed into 25 neutron and 21 gamma groups differ up to 23%.
