The intent of this paper is to present the resolved resonance evaluation of 16O in the energy range from thermal to 6 MeV. The newness of the present work is that recent cross-section data for the 16O(n,α) 13C reaction taken at the GELINA time-of-flight facility and transmission data obtained at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR ) were included in the evaluation. The evaluation was carried out with the SAMMY code. The evaluation was used to calculate critical benchmark experiment sensitive to the 16O cross sections.
