# DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

File List: Files currently contained in VALID are listed by benchmark designations from the International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP) Handbook: type of fissile-material, physical form of the fissile material, and neutron energy range where the majority of fissions occur.  As VALID is not strictly for ICSBEP data, future additional files will be designated by their associated project or database.

# METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION

1. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data:

SCALE code package

2. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Data generated for VALID are described in the following reference:

T. M. Greene and W. J. Marshall, "SCALE Procedure for Verified, Archived, Library of Inputs and Data (VALID)," SCALE-CMP-012, Revision 3, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, September 2024.
