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.
