The Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF/B-VIII.0) is the US recommended library of nuclear reaction cross sections, and thus naturally possesses potential impacts for nuclear astrophysics applications. To facilitate the use of ENDF in various astrophysics applications, the current work uses FUDGE, a program that performs nuclear data testing and processing to translate the ENDF library into an astrophysical reaction rate library format (REACLIB). The present work involved fitting astrophysical reaction rates from ENDF using least squares regression and comparing the fit to the parameterization of rates given by REACLIB. The potential application of the results of this project to nuclear fission experiments such as the Nuclear Ignition Facility as well as astrophysical nucleosynthesis calculations will be presented.
