+  abstract={Delayed neutron precursor (DNP) group data are important for modeling reactor dynamics. Although the data for individual DNPs have been developed over time, the DNP group data present in the Evaluated Nuclear Data Files (ENDF) have not been updated in the past 20 years. In this work, we use SCALE to recreate the Godiva experiment that was used to generate the original DNP group structure for fast fission of 235U. However, each DNP is modeled using up-to-date data, and the results are then converted into a newly updated group structure. This conversion uses an iterative linear least squares solver to minimize chi-squared. The approaches used in this work also enable energy spectrum generation and uncertainty tracking. The method used in this paper for fast 235U fission DNP group structure updating can be applied to different energies and fissile nuclides. Demonstration of the uncertainty tracking in reactor kinetics and dynamics simulations is shown using point reactor kinetics simulations. Results show that there are data discrepancies between the International Atomic Energy Agency database and data used in ORIGEN, which are currently being fixed. Results also show that the proposed method for group spectra generation performs well.},
