Consultants' Meeting of INDEN International Nuclear Data Evaluation Network on the Evaluated Nuclear Data of the Structural Materials

13-16 December 2021, IAEA, Vienna (virtual meeting)

Background

International Nuclear Data Evaluation Network is an activity aimed at streamlining the evaluation activities, taking advantage of expertise in different laboratories in Member States. The activities would follow the pattern of the highly successful CIELO project, organised through the NEA Data Bank. The aim is to minimise duplication of work, except for the testing of different approaches to the evaluation, and to produce evaluated data files with a broad consesus that can be adopted fully or in parts by the National Data Evaluation projects.

Scope

The emphasis is on (but not strictly limited to) the structural materials Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu, including the resonance parameters, the interference between different nuclides and peculiarities specific to certain nuclides. Of special interest is the assignment of the upper energy limit of the resonance range, the treatment of the fluctuating cross sections above the resonance range and the degree of detail in the angular distribution representation. It is assumed that the covariance information is an integral part of the evaluation process.

Agenda

The adopted agenda is available here.
