Spectrum data of white neutrons having different spectrum shapes, and SEE
counts obtained by a white neutron method using this multiple spectrum
data, are stored. A computing section reads out the spectrum data,
divides the data into energy groups, and calculates and stores a total
flux of each energy group. Furthermore, the computing section reads out
the SEE counts with respect to each of the spectrum data and the total
flux of each energy group, substitutes the SEE counts and the total flux
into a simultaneous equation, and calculates the SEE cross section for
each of the energy groups. Subsequently, the computing section calculates
parameters which determine a formula of the approximate function of the
SEE cross section as a function of energy, so that computed values of
error counts obtained by integration of multiple spectra and the
approximate function sufficiently match the actual measured values
thereof.
