Abstract: The advanced Bondarenko method for resonance self-shielding calculations is devised and proposed. This method is based on three numerical methods; the Bell factor optimization for accurate fuel escape probability representation, extension of resonance interference factors and correction factors for current-weighted total cross sections. A 107-group library for light water reactor applications based on the advanced Bondarenko method is generated for a reactor physics code system CBZ. Performance of the CBZ code with this 107-group library is examined against a suit of light water reactor cell problems. The infinite neutron multiplication factors calculated with CBZ agree with reference continuous-energy Monte Carlo solutions within 0.15%Delta k/kk' differences, and no significant biases on fuel compositions and geometrical specifications are observed. Energy-averaged cross sections are also examined. Numerical tests reveal that significant accuracy improvements in resonance self-shielding calculations are realized by adopting the advanced Bondarenko method without any significant increase of computational burden.
