"""The purpose of this test is to provide coverage of Watt, N-body phase space,
and evaporation energy distributions. The only nuclide that uses a Watt fission
spectrum in ENDF/B-VII.1 is U-233. The only nuclide that has a reaction using
the N-body phase space distribution is H-2(n.2n). Several nuclides have
reactions with evaporation spectra. In this test, the material is composed of
U-233, H-2, and Na-23 (which has several reactions with evaporation spectra.
"""The purpose of this test is to provide coverage of energy distributions that
are not covered in other tests. It has a single material with the following
nuclides:
U-233: Only nuclide that has a Watt fission spectrum
H-2: Only nuclide that has an N-body phase space distribution, in this case for
(n,2n)
Na-23: Has an evaporation spectrum and also has reactions that have multiple
angle-energy distributions, so it provides coverage for both of those
situations.
Ta-181: One of a few nuclides that has reactions with Kalbach-Mann distributions
that use linear-linear interpolation.
