The most urgent item is “covariance business” and this must be solved at least its<br />

direction of preparation in near future. The covariances in JENDL-4.0 have been mainly<br />

evaluated with the CCONE+KALMAN Method. The covariance data for 110 nuclides of<br />

ENDF/B-VII.1 will be provided for the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) project (BNL,<br />

LANL). The motto for covariance is “Might not be perfect but must be sensible”. The<br />

JEFF covariance data is being prepared by using “Total Monte-Carlo Method”. It must be<br />

stressed that covariance data and nuclear data qualities are the different items.<br />

2.2 Medical, Space and Accelerator Related Applications<br />

For medical applications (radiation therapy, medical RI production,<br />

accelerator-driven BNCT, etc.) and space engineering (error of semi-conductor, dose<br />

estimation from cosmic-ray, etc.), nuclear data for particle transport calculation, energy
