The 2017 Symposium on Nuclear Data was held at iVil in Tokai on November 16-17, 2017. The symposium was hosted by the Nuclear Data Division of the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) and Advanced Science Research Center of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, and co-hosted by Japanese Nuclear Data Committee of AESJ and North Kanto Branch of AESJ. In the symposium, a tutorial was given by Prof. Rykaczewski (ORNL) "New nuclear data from total absorption spectroscopy and beta-delayed neutron measurements", as well as six oral sessions, "Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Data" (two sessions), "Nuclear Theory and Nuclear Data", "Reactors" and "Nuclear Data and Their Applications" (two sessions). In addition, recent advances in experiment, theory, evaluation, benchmark, and application were presented in the poster session. The symposium had 79 participants, who contributed to very active and fruitful discussions. This report consists of 37 papers, including those of 14 oral and 23 poster presentations.

U, 
Np and 
Pu populated in the excitation-energy range from 10 to 60 MeV by multi-nucleon transfer channels in the reaction 
O + 
U at the JAEA tandem facility. Among them, the data for 
U and 
Np were observed for the first time. It was found that the mass distributions for all the studied nuclides maintain a double-humped shape up to the highest measured energy in contrast to expectations of predominantly symmetric fission due to the washing out of nuclear shell effects. From a comparison with the dynamical calculation based on the fluctuation-dissipation model, this behavior of the mass distributions was unambiguously attributed to the effect of multi-chance fission.

The nuclear data is the data on the reaction probability between the neutron and the nuclide in a narrow sense. However generally speaking, it is the data describing the physical change of the nuclide and the status of the nuclear ration. Since Japan had started the nuclear energy development, the nuclear data has been one of the most important technical development theme. Now, the nuclear data library of Japan, i.e., JENDL, is well recognized internationally because of the highest-accuracy and fully-furnished types of the included data. This serial lecture describes the significance and the status of the nuclear data development, the international trend, and the direction of the future development.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：42.02(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Transmutation of long-lived fission products (LLFPs: 
Se, 
Zr, 
Tc, 
Pd, 
I, and 
Cs) into short-lived or non-radioactive nuclides by fast neutron spectrum reactors without isotope separation has been proposed as a solution to the problem of radioactive wastes disposal. Despite investigation of many methods, such transmutation remains technologically difficult. To establish an effective and efficient transmutation system, we propose a novel neutron moderator material, yttrium deuteride (YD
), to soften the neutron spectrum leaking from the reactor core. Neutron energy spectra and effective half-lives of LLFPs, transmutation rates, and support ratios were evaluated with the continuous-energy Monte Carlo code MVP-II/MVP-BURN and the JENDL-4.0 cross section library. With the YD moderator in the radial blanket and shield regions, effective half-lives drastically decreased from 10
to 10
years and the support ratios reached 1.0 for all six LLFPs. This successful development and implementation of a transmutation system for LLFPs without isotope separation contribute to developing a self-consuming cycle of LLFPs using fast spectrum reactors to reduce radioactive waste.

Times Cited Count：4 Percentile：30.79(Physics, Nuclear)An improvement on the single-particle structure is carried out to a global -decay model, the gross theory. The gross theory is based on a consideration of the sum rule of the intensity of the -decay transition by using the strength function. This model gives reasonable results of -decay rates and delayed neutron in the entire nuclear mass region. An attempt is made to improve the gross theory of nuclear -decay on consideration of the change of parity on the single-particle level of ground-state nuclei. In this treatment, the nuclear matrix elements are suppressed when the parity between single neutron and proton levels is different for the allowed transition. The assignment of parity is done by using the Woods-Saxon type single-particle potential. The discrepancies from experimental half-lives, which appeared in the vicinity on the magic number of neutrons and protons, are systematically improved in the nuclear mass region.

Neutron- and proton-induced cross-section data are required in a wide energy range beyond 20 MeV, for the design of accelerator applications. New evaluations are performed with recent knowledge in the optical and pre-equilibrium model calculations. We also evaluated cross-sections for p+
Li and p+
Be which have been highly requested from a medical field. The present high-energy nuclear data library, JENDL-4.0/HE, includes evaluated cross-sections for incident neutrons and protons up to 200 MeV (for about 130 nuclei). We overview substantial features of the library, i.e., (1) systematic evaluation with CCONE code, (2) challenges for evaluations of light nuclei and (3) inheritance of JENDL-4.0 and JENDL/HE-2007. In this talk, we also focus on the results of benchmark calculation for neutronics to show performance of the present library.

rays from highly excited states populated by the multi-nucleon transfer reactions with heavy-ion projectiles to determine the (
) cross sections by means of the surrogate reaction method. Apparatus consists of two anti-Compton LaBr
(Ce) spectrometers to measure the rays and a Si

detector system to detect outgoing projectile-like particles. Reactions of 153-MeV O beams with 
Gd and 
Gd targets were used to study the performance of apparatus. By using the LaBr(Ce) scintillators with relatively large volume (101.6 mm in diameter and 127 mm in length), we have successfully measured rays from the compound nuclei, which have excitation energy above neutron separation energy, populated by Gd(O, 
O)Gd and Gd(O, O)
Gd two-neutron transfer reactions. The present study has demonstrated high capability of apparatus to measure the de-excitation rays in the compound nuclei produced by the multi-nucleon transfer reactions for determination of the () cross sections by using the surrogate reaction method.
