NEUTRON CROSS-SECTION STANDARDS: Extending and Updating

An IAEA Nuclear Data Section Data Development Project


A data data development project has been started by the IAEA in 2008 to review the status of the international cross-section standards released in 2006, and to consider the possibility of extending the energy ranges and including new reactions that could be considered for adoption as reference cross sections. This data development project has been endorsed by the International Nuclear Data Committee as an important activity to be maintained under the auspices of the Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA.

A Consultants’ Meeting on International Neutron Cross-Section Standards: Measurements and Evaluation Techniques was held on 13-15 October 2008 at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria. All discussions and recommendations of this meeting are given in INDC(NDS)-0540 technical report.
