Nuclear structure data plays an important role in nuclear physics studies and applications such as nuclear power generation. This article presents evaluations of a mean-field approach to describe two nuclear structure quantities namely the electric and magnetic moments. The Hartree-Fock-plus-pairing approach was employed with pairing correlations treated within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) framework. The Skyrme SIII parametrization and seniority force are chosen to approximate the effective nucleon-nucleon and pairing interactions, respectively. Calculated results show that the self-consistent blocking procedure which takes into account time-reversal symmetry breaking is important to reproduce experimental magnetic moment
