Abstract
The XPZ code was previously developed for the lattice physics computation in High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs), which adopted the multi-group cross section library converted from the existing open-source DRAGON library. In this paper, a new format of multi-group cross section library named XPZLIB has been implemented in XPZ code. XPZLIB is designed in binary and HDF5 formats, including detailed data contents for resonance, transport and depletion calculations. A new data-processing module named XPZR is developed based on NJOY-2016 to generate nuclide dependent XPZLIB from the most recent evaluated nuclear data, and besides, the PyNjoy-2016 system is developed for automatic generation of integrated XPZLIB including a complete set of nuclides. The new generated XPZLIB is presented with the XPZ code. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the new library XPZLIB and the reliability of the data processing scheme. Moreover, the influence of different versions of ENDF/B data is investigated.
