This paper reviews the primary reference field at 60.96 cm from core centreline and re-examines the reference environment with improved characterizations of the reactor structure, test fixtures and also addresses some smaller issues of non-tracking calculations by monte carlo methods with various cross section set generations. We are also addressing long standing issues of absolute normalization of integral fluence based on the original characterizations of the facility diagnostic instrumentation.
