?The IAEA Nuclear Data Library / Thermal Scattering Law is a database of thermal scattering law data for hydrogen bound in water, hydrogen bound in zirconium hydride, and deuterium bound in heavy water.

IAEA Nuclear Data Library / Thermal Scattering Law
The calculations of the thermal scattering law data were tailored to the computer technology of the sixties. Since then, the calculations were repeated for the ENDF/B-VI library, using however the same input data (except for a somewhat extended energy transfer range). The updated database was assembled at the of 2006 for general use as an IAEA NDL in ENDF-6 format. These data sets have also been fully (or partially) adopted within various international/national nuclear applications libraries for their immediate use (JEFF-3.1 and ENDF/B-VII).
