Nuclear data evaluation

• Cross section data

  Evaluation of cross section data.

• Fission yields

  Evaluation of fission yields.

• Nuclear structure and decay data

  Evaluation of decay data.

• Code development & improvements

  Development or upgrade of codes needed for the data processing and evaluation neutron-induced reaction data in the whole energy range for fission and other applications (low, intermediate and high energies).

Nuclear data validation, sensitivity analyses and priorities

The topic of this track is to perform impact studies, sensitivity analyses, and assessment of needs for various applications.

• Nuclear data validation

• New integral experiments

  Proposals for new integral experiments.

• Sensitivity analyses and nuclear data priorities

Transnational access & Education and Training

• Transnational access

  Transnational access activities (TNA). Coordinated with other transnational projects like EURO-LABS, OFFERR and ENEN2+ and concentrated during the second half of the project, after the end of OFFERR.

• Education and Training

  Proposals for schools, workshops for young students, scientific visits (coordinated with ENEN2+), meetings between evaluators and experimentalists...
