Recognising a need for code and data validation in the area of accelerator-driven systems (ADS), in 1999 the OECD/NEA Nuclear Science Committee organised a benchmark on a lead-bismuth cooled subcritical system driven by a beam of 1 GeV protons. Seven organisations (ANL, CIEMAT, KAERI, JAERI, PSI/CEA...
