Popis: The neutronics design of new reactors has been historically relying on zero power research reactors for the simulation of the core irradiation conditions as well as for nuclear data and code validation. In this framework, a study on the possible MYRRHA representativity improvement coming from the loading of MOX fuel in VENUS-F zero power reactor is under investigation. This work analyses the effect of the nuclear data used in the sensitivity and representativity calculations, highlighting the need for a comprehensive set of nuclides and reactions to be further studied.
