Critical mass calculations of various HEU-fueled fast reactors result in large discrepancies in C E values depending on the nuclear data library used and the configuration modeled. Thus it seems relevant to use integral experiments to try to reassess cross sections that might be responsible for such a dispersion in critical mass results. This work makes use of the Generalized Least Square method to solve Bayes equation as implemented in the CONRAD code. Experimental database used includes ICSBEP Uranium based critical experiments and benefits from recent re-analyses of MASURCA and FCA-IX criticality experiments with Monte-Carlo calculations and of PROFIL irradiation experiments. These last ones provide very specific information on 235U and 238U capture cross sections. Due to high experimental uncertainties associated to fission spectra we chose to consider either fitting these data or set them to evaluations. The work focused on 235U and 238U evaluations and results presented in this paper for 235U capture and 238U capture and inelastic cross sections are compared to recent differential experiment or recent evaluations.
