Minor Actinide Neutron Reaction Data (MANREAD)
Activity Lines
(Objectives discussed at the CM in November 2006)
Activity line |
Description |
A |
Assessment of available experimental data on:
1. U-234, U-236 2. Np-237 3. Pu-238, Pu-240, Pu-242 4. Am-241, Am-242m, Am-242, Am-243 5. Cm-243 to Cm-248 for (n,g), (n,f), (n,tot), (n,xn) reaction channels |
B | Assessment of MA evaluated nuclear data from major libraries, including information on data uncertainties & covariances |
C | Documented compilation of selected neutron cross section data & their uncertainties from measurements performed by CRP participants/groups with focus on information useful for evaluators |
D | Provide estimates of reachable accuracies with present up-to-date experimental methods & facilities |
E |
Explore the capabilities of NEW experimental techniques facilities for neutron cross section, e.g.: 1. AMS + ICPMS 2. new intense neutron sources 3. indirect methods (surrogate reactions, inverse reactions, etc.) |
F | Any additional related activity (to be specified in the RA or RC) |
