Intensive neutron sources using deuteron accelerators have been proposed for various applications such as irradiation testing of fusion reactor materials and production of medical radioisotopes. To contribute to the design study of such neutron sources, a deuteron reaction data file for light nuclei (Li-6,7, Be-9, C-12,13), JENDL/DEU-2020 was developed. In addition, the validation of it by the simulation with the codes such as PHITS was performed. As a result, the simulation based on JENDL/DEU-2020 reproduced the measured thick-target neutron yields better than those with the reaction models implemented in PHITS.
