<strong>JAEA</strong>-<strong>Conf</strong> <strong>2011</strong>-<strong>002</strong><br />

1. The recent activities under the international collaborations<br />

NDEL/KAERI collaborates with the international organizations such as IAEA and<br />

OECD/NEA, and the foreign institutes such as ORNL and BNL regarding the evaluation,<br />

processing and validation of nuclear data to satisfy present requests and to prepare future<br />

latent needs. Below summarizes the recent activities of NDEL/KAERI in collaboration with<br />

international organizations and foreign institutes.<br />

- Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (FENDL) CRP of IAEA<br />

- Participation in IAEA EXFOR compilations since 2009<br />

- Contribution of group constant libraries to OECD/NEA Data Bank.<br />

- Evaluations and uncertainty analysis of Minor actinides with ORNL<br />

- Improvements of resonance module ncluding covariances with BNL<br />

- Evaluation of neutron cross sections for fast energy region with BNL<br />

2. Production and validation of evaluated nuclear data<br />

1) Developments of nuclear data evaluation methodology<br />

Recent evaluations of neutron cross section covariances in the resolved resonance<br />

region reveal the need for further research in this area. Major issues include declining<br />

uncertainties in multigroup representations and proper treatment of scattering radius<br />

uncertainty. A practical method is being investigated for estimating neutron radiative<br />

capture and elastic scattering covariances in the resolved resonance region. The<br />

method is based on a “kernel approximation” using resonance parameter uncertainties<br />

from the Atlas of Neutron Resonances. Suitable analytical expressions were derived<br />

from the consideration of cross section sensitivities in order to determine cross section<br />

uncertainties. The role of resonance-resonance and bin-bin correlations is specifically<br />

studied.<br />

2) New evaluations of charged particle induced nuclear reactions<br />

- The evaluations are performing for reactions induced by charged particles including<br />

proton, deuteron, and alpha. The considered nuclides are 28-30 Si, 27 Al, 54,56,57,58 Fe,<br />

92,94,95,96,97,98,100 Mo, 58,60,61,62,64 Ni.<br />

- Evaluations will go through validations and verifications by FENDL CRP.<br />

3) New evaluations of minor actinides for Advanced Fuel Cycle (AFC)<br />

- Producing new evaluations for Advanced Fuel Cycle (AFC) including covariance<br />

files. The considered nuclides are 237 Np, 240 Pu, 240-250 Cm<br />

- Evaluation, validation and benchmarks are in collaboration with ORNL
