CRP on Evaluated nuclear data for thorium-uranium fuel cycle
OBJECTIVES
- Incorporate newly available experimental information into evaluated nuclear data files, which can be processed and used by designers of nuclear plants.
- Produce improved evaluated nuclear data files that will allow more accurate design calculations of innovative fuel cycle concepts involving the thorium-uranium fuel cycle. The nuclides of primary interest for evaluation are: 232Th, 231,232Pa and 232,233,234,236U.
