The authors propose that benchmark work in conventional neutronics be reorganized somewhat, so that key steps in the reactor design and analysis process be systematically benchmarked. Furthermore, they suggest that benchmark work in different areas be unified, and that new benchmark problems be developed for reactor safety and fusion power neutronics calculations.
