Summation calculations have been performed in order to compare the quality of several nuclear data libraries. The objective was to obtain the average delayed neutron yield, as well as the average delayed-neutron half-life for different fissioning systems (235U, 238U and 239Pu) at different energies (thermal and fast) by using microscopic data. Each quantity is presented with a first evaluation of the uncertainty, computed under the assumption that the variables are all independent of each other.
