  1. Personal Perspective of Strategy on Nuclear Data Activities at JAEA Tokio FUKAHORI Japan Atomic Energy Agency fukahori.tokio@jaea.go.jp 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data, Nov. 25-26, 2010, C-CUBE, Chikushi Campus, Kyushu University, Kasuga, Japan

  2. Summary (1/2) Japan Atomic Energy Agency The JENDL-4has been released in this year as one of goals of the first period mid-term research plan for JAEA. In the plan for the second period, the objective is “incident energy expansion of JENDL”. The objective can be achieved by producing JENDL/HE, JENDL/PD, JENDL/PK. The target applications are , for instance, - Accelerator related applications: ADS, IFMIF, etc. - Medical applications: radiation therapies, accelerator-driven BNCT, etc. - Space engineering: error of semi-conductor, dose estimation caused by cosmic-rays, etc. For this purpose, CCONE is planned to be improved by adding some models. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  3. Summary (2/2) Japan Atomic Energy Agency We never forget that the main user is nuclear energy applications. - Reactors: FR, NGLWR, innovative reactors (ex. Gen-IV) - Safety research of down-stream applications: (spent) fuel transportation, reprocessing, waste management, etc. - Material science for longer reactor operation: radiation damage - Nuclear forensics for nuclear non-proliferation For these applications, rather common nuclear data needs are for the burn-up, activation, and PKA/DPA calculations. Some items related to nuclear data activities stand on the edge of precipice. - human resources - presence (appearing) to the stake-holders - budget (especially for nuclear data measurements) The most urgent item is “covariance business” and this must be solved at least its direction of preparation. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  20. Nuclear Data Needs Japan Atomic Energy Agency Covariance Business … 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  22. Edge of Precipice Japan Atomic Energy Agency Crisis of Human Resources Items of “Endangered Species” ENSDF (emergency!!) Resonance Analyses Thermal Scattering Law Items for Next Generation Fission; neutron spectra, delayed neutron, FPY, etc. Evaluators for Light-mass Nuclides Evaluation Tool Maker? Presence and Budget Budget crisis, especially for measurement facilities It is true that nuclear data is an item like air, however, producers cannot live on air. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  23. Edge of Precipice Japan Atomic Energy Agency What we should do ? for Crisis of Human Resources Nuclear Data Evaluation  Collaboration with Nuclear Physics Fields (microscopic approach?) The international collaborations are getting more important. Fostering Talents  Tutorials, Production of Textbook Tool Production  Considering TENDL-like approach Those should be considered as soon as possible so that nuclear data activity level is kept for next generations. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  24. Summary (again) Japan Atomic Energy Agency The JENDL-4 has been released in this year as one of goals of the first period mid-term research plan for JAEA. In the plan for the second period, the objective is “incident energy expansion of JENDL”. The objective can be achieved by producing JENDL/HE, JENDL/PD, JENDL/PK. For this purpose, CCONE is planned to be improved by adding some models. The nuclear data for the burn-up, activation, and PKA/DPA calculations will be prepared for the applications of reactors, safety research,material science, nuclear forensics, etc. The urgent problems for human resources, presence to the stake-holders, and budget (especially for nuclear data measurements) should be solved for example, by efforts of the international collaborations, etc. The most urgent item is “covariance business” and this must be solved at least its direction of preparation. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  25. Words too many … Japan Atomic Energy Agency What I have often heard are … When finish to produce nuclear data files? Nuclear data are an important database for research and developments of nuclear applications. Target materials and kinds of nuclear data are different application by application. So new nuclear data is necessary. Is it necessary to be done by Japan? It is necessary for proper usage of nuclear data to know about the origin and background. In the case of nuclear data being produced in abroad, it has some difficulty to see it. Why do not consider the world-unified nuclear data file? Since nuclear data are a kind of physical quantities, it must converge into certain values. However, it needs much more time to be fixed. 2010 Symposium on Nuclear Data

  26.
