MARVEL PDSA approval could serve as blueprint
MARVEL, the Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation project at Idaho National Laboratory, has had its preliminary documented safety analysis approved by the Department of Energy, marking a milestone in its development and serving as a potential outline for other microreactors in development.

The suite of neutron-induced reactions on 241Am, 242gAm, 242mAm, and 243Am has been evaluated for incident neutron energies above the unresolved resonance region and up to 20 MeV. Modern theoretical models and computational techniques were extensively used because of the rather limited experimental information. However, when available, experimental data were used to guide and benchmark the present evaluation work. All evaluation results were formatted and distributed as ENDF data files for possible inclusion in the ENDF/B-VII library.
