In order to validate the neutron capture cross section in 241Am, comparisons of calculations with activation experiments at the TRIGA reactor at JSI and pile oscillation measurements at the MINERVE reactor at CEA Cadarache were done. The results suggest that the evaluation in the new test library JEFF-4T1 on average provide an improvement of the C/E results compared to the existing nuclear data library releases. However, due to some discrepancies, additional experiments at JSI as well as further development of the computational model of the JSI TRIGA reactor are planned to improve the accuracy and reliability of the neutron activation analysis and the nuclear data inferred from them.
