Evaluated Neutron Data for Actinides

Evaluated neutron reaction data for actinide nuclides are now included in the major ENDF formatted data libraries See document IAEA-NDS-107 for a joint index to these libraries.

For online access to these libraries, go to the ENDF page or use our Nuclear Data Information System.

WIND and WIND-2

Neutron nuclear data library for isotopes of U, Np, Pu up to 100 MeV, with one file of proton reaction data for U-238 and one neutron file up to 2 GeV for Pu-239. By A.Ju. Konobejev et al., Obninsk, Russia.
Summary documentation: IAEA-NDS-143 Rev.1.

Maslov

Evaluated neutron reaction data for several Pu, Am and Cm isotopes and Np-238, received 1996/97, contains evaluations in ENDF-6 format for Np-238, Pu-238, Pu-242, Am-241, Am-242-g, Am-242-m, Am-243, Cm-243, Cm-245 and Cm-246. By V. Maslov et al., Minsk, Belarus.
Summary documentation: IAEA-NDS-164 Rev.3.

Theoretical Evaluation of Neutron and Proton Induced Fission Cross Sections

for Pb - Pu Targets in Energy Range 20 - 200 MeV, by S. Yavshits, report IAEA-NDS-153 (February 2002). 9 proton induced and 12 neutron induced fission cross sections for nuclei from Pb-204 to Pu-239 have been evaluated in the Multi-Configuration Fission approach. Report and data available on diskette or online.

Earlier specialized libraries for neutron reaction data of actinides:

ENDF/B-5 Actinides (Rev. 86), summary documentation: IAEA-NDS-13, Rev. 5. Data available

INDL/A-83: IAEA Nuclear Data Library of Actinide neutron data evaluations. Summary documentation: IAEA-NDS-12, Rev. 7.
Graphical plots: IAEA-NDS-12, Rev. 7 part 2.

INDL/A Suppl. 86/5: Documentation IAEA-NDS-12 Suppl. 86/5. (Contains five Minsk evaluations (U and Pu isotopes). These are meanwhile superseded.
