Abstract:
An outline is presented of the status of nuclear data evaluation foraccelerator-driven systems. The international effort consists mainly of
measuring, compiling and calculating nuclear data for elements and isotopes
relevant for transmutation of radioactive waste, energy amplification and
other accelerator-related nuclear applications. We argue that input for
global, macroscopic calculation schemes for hybrid nuclear systems basically
should consist of two types of nuclear data: (a) high-energy transport codes
for energies above about 150 MeV, (b) neutron and proton data libraries, for
both transport and activation, for energies below about 150 MeV. Our specific
contribution to the field concerns (b). The evaluated data are calculated and
stored in ENDF6-format with the computer codes ECIS96, GNASH and MINGUS. New
phenomenological optical model potentials up to 200 MeV are presented and we
illustrate the library production with a short outline of the other employed
physical methods. The calculated results are compared with the available
experimental data. 39 refs.
