Currently the library of 299-group constants ABBN-RF2010 is presented in two formats ABBN and MATXS. They are based on the nuclear data files ROSFOND2010, which were processed using NJOY code. The data of ROSFOND2010 are also presented in format ACE for MCNP code calculations. The present verification of the library ROSFOND2010 in critical calculations was practically completed. The test results of the library of nuclear data ROSFOND2010 in shielding benchmark calculations using international databases SINBAD and ICSBEP are presented in this work. They are lead and iron spheres of various radiuses with 242 Cf source in center of spheres from international handbook ICSBEP and benchmark experiments, such as Winfrith Graphite and JANUS Phase I from database SINBAD. Calculations were performed with codes KATRIN and TORT, using constants ABBN-RF2010 in both formats ABBN and MATXS. Preparation of constants for calculations was performed using CONSYST and TRANSX codes respectively. Comparison of calculation results with experimental data is given.
