This is usually done by comparison of results to experimentally known values. As a first step, we would like to build all 119 problems in the MCNP Extended Criticality Benchmark Suite as well as a few other important benchmark models. + +## Generation of ENDF/B-VII.1 Cross Sections + +Currently, we rely on cross sections distributed with MCNP or SERPENT. It would be nice to generate our own cross section set using NJOY with the latest ENDF/B-VII.1 data. + +## Calculation of Kinetics Parameters + +Many users need the capability to calculate the effective delayed neutron fraction and the mean generation time, two important parameters in kinetics. This project will involve implementing a method to calculate these parameters. \ No newline at end of file
