Accurate data of neutron-capture cross sections for minor actinides (MAs) and long-lived fission products (LLFPs) are important in detailed engineering designs and safety evaluations of innovative nuclear reactor systems. However, accurate measurements of these cross sections are very difficult due to high radioactivity of these samples. To overcome the difficulty, "Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction measurement Instrument (ANNRI)" has been constructed in the Materials and Life science experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex, and measurements of neutron-capture cross sections of MAs and LLFPs with high intensity pulsed neutrons have been started from 2008. In this presentation, measurement activities and results in ANNRI are presented.
