Iwamoto H, Nishihara K, Iwamoto Y, Hashimoto S, Matsuda N, Sato T, Harada M and Maekaw F. Impact of PHITS spallation models on the neutronics design of an accelerator-driven system. Journal of Nuclear Science and Technology. 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00223131.2016.1140598

When the above article was first published online, data for Helium gas production, row n (<20 MeV), Table 5 were included in the wrong columns. This has now been corrected in both the print and online versions as follows:

Table 5. Peak values of parameters related to radiation damage and nuclear heat density per 1 mA at PBW at BOC. The symbols n and p denote contributions from neutrons and protons, respectively.

¹Unit is (appm/day/mA).

²Unit is (× 10⁻³ dpa/day/mA).

³Unit is (W/cm³/mA).
