The utilization of integral experiments has been widely accepted by the CSEWG community as a mechanism for validation of the ENDF/B data files. Over the past half dozen years a number of fast integral experiments have been given recognizance as CSEWG Fast Reactor Benchmarks. These benchmarks have been specified at various times by various people. These efforts are recognized as having been very worthwhile. This report represents an attempt by the CSEWG community to systematically present specifications for the currently accepted Fast Reactor Benchmarks. Specifications for those benchmarks conform to an agreed upon format. All accepted benchmarks have been reviewed for completeness and accuracy of the experimental information. It is anticipated that from time to time additional benchmarks will be generated from now available integral experiments. With the establishment and acceptance of a standard specification format, it is believed that the problems of passing from experiment to benchmark will be minimized.
