Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (FENDL), which has been coordinated by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), was updated for the neutronics analysis on the fusion reactors and related applications. The main sources of data files are the national nuclear data libraries such as ENDF, JEFF and JENDL, where the best data was selected for each isotope through comparisons of the evaluated cross-sections and a number of benchmark analyses. Large differences from the previous library (FENDL-2.1) are extension of the upper energy limit from 20 MeV to 200 MeV and inclusion of the charged-particle reaction data, which had been requested by accelerator-based studies on structural materials for the fusion reactors. This paper gives a comprehensive description on the latest version FENDL-3.2b. A number of validations on the neutronics analysis show that the performance of FENDL-3.2b is better than FENDL-2.1.

$$beta$$-delayed neutron emission has been of interest since the discovery of nuclear fission. In nuclear power reactors, delayed-neutron data play a crucial role in reactor kinetics calculations and safe operation. $$beta$$-delayed neutron data also have a significant impact in the field of nuclear structure and astrophysics especially as nuclei farther away from stability are explored at the new generation of radioactive beam facilities. Several compilations of $$beta$$-decay half-lives and delayed-neutron emission probabilities are available, however, complete documentation of measurements and evaluation procedures is often missing for these properties. Efforts to address this gap in nuclear data and create an updated compilation and evaluation of $$beta$$-delayed neutron properties were undertaken under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which formed a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on "Development of a Reference Database of Beta-delayed Neutron Emission Data". In this paper we summarize the work that was performed and present the results of the CRP.

The version II of the International Reactor Dosimetry and Fusion File (IRDFF-II) has been released as a consistent set of nuclear data for fission and fusion neutron metrology applications up to 60 MeV neutron energy. The library is intended to support: (a) applications in research reactors; (b) safety and regulatory applications in the nuclear power generation in commercial fission reactors; and c) material damage studies in support of the research and development of advanced fusion concepts. The paper describes the contents of the library, documents the thorough verification process used in its preparation, and provides an extensive set of validation data gathered from a wide range of neutron benchmark fields. The new library is expected to become the international reference in neutron metrology for multiple applications.

The CIELO collaboration has studied neutron cross sections on nuclides that significantly impact criticality in nuclear facilities - $$^{235}$$U, $$^{238}$$U, $$^{239}$$Pu, $$^{56}$$Fe, $$^{16}$$O and $$^{1}$$H - with the aim of improving the accuracy of the data and resolving previous discrepancies in our understanding. This multi-laboratory pilot project, coordinated via the OECD/NEA Working Party on Evaluation Cooperation (WPEC) Subgroup 40 with support also from the IAEA, has motivated experimental and theoretical work and led to suites of new evaluated libraries that accurately reflect measured data and also perform well in integral simulations of criticality. This report summarizes our results and outlines plans for the next phase of this collaboration.

A computer code system, CCONE, was developed for nuclear data evaluation in the JENDL project. The CCONE code system integrates various nuclear reaction models needed to describe nucleon, light charged nuclei up to alpha-particle and photon induced reactions. The code is written in the C++ programming language using an object-oriented technology. At first, it was applied to neutron-induced reaction data on actinides, which were compiled into JENDL Actinide File 2008 and JENDL-4.0. It has been extensively used in various nuclear data evaluation not only for actinides but also for non-actinide nuclei. The CCONE code has been upgraded to nuclear data evaluation at higher incident energies for neutron-, proton-, and photon-induced reactions. It was also used for estimating $$beta$$-delayed neutron emission. This paper describes the CCONE code system indicating the concept and design of coding and inputs. Details of formulation formodelings of the direct, pre-equilibrium and compound reactions are presented. Applications to the nuclear data evaluations such as neutron-induced reactions on actinides and medium-heavy nuclei, high-energy nucleon-induced reactions, photonuclear reaction and $$beta$$-delayed neutron emission are mentioned.

The collision matrix in the R-matrix theory is unitary, hence theory brings strong constraints to behavior of the parameters. An unitarity-imposed R-matrix analysis is carried out for $$^{17}$$O system to evaluate $$^{16}$$O neutron cross-sections in the resolved resonance range. Covariance matrices are also estimated both for the cross-sections and angular distributions with a deterministic method. Present results mirror the nature in the theory as well as experimental information.

The current status of covariance applications to fast reactor analysis and design in Japan is summarized. To improve the accuracy of core design values by adopting the integral data such as the critical experiments and the power reactor operation data, the cross-section adjustment based on the Bayesian theorem is used. After the release of JENDL-4.0, a development project of the new adjusted group-constant set ADJ2010 was started and completed in 2013. In the present paper, the final results of ADJ2010 are briefly described. In addition, the adjustment results of ADJ2010 are discussed from the viewpoint of use and impact of nuclear data covariances. For this purpose, three kind of indices, called "degree of mobility", "adjustment motive force", and "adjustment potential", are newly proposed.

In this work, we measured the capture $$gamma$$ rays from the neutron resonances of $$^{74}$$Se and $$^{77}$$Se. A neutron time-of-flight method was adopted for the measurements with a 4$$pi$$ Ge spectrometer installed at the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction measurement Instrument (ANNRI) in the J-PARC Material and Life science experimental Facility (MLF). The $$gamma$$-ray pulse-height spectra corresponding to the 27-eV resonance of $$^{74}$$Se and the 113-, 212-, 291-, 342-, 690- and 864-eV resonances of $$^{77}$$Se were obtained by gating on the TOF regions, respectively. The relative intensities of those primary transitions were derived and compared with the previous experimental data. For the 27-eV resonance of $$^{74}$$Se, a strong primary transition to the 293-keV state was observed. As for $$^{77}$$Se, the quite differences of the decay pattern were found between the resonances.

Particle transport simulation codes based on the Monte Carlo technique are utilized to predict interaction of radiations with materials. The codes describe the transport of all particles, e.g. photons, electrons, nucleons, and heavy ions by various models for physical processes and nuclear reaction. In particular, nuclear reaction processes are essential parts for the accurate prediction. Recently, accelerator-based neutron sources using proton or deuteron beams with energies from 10 to 100 MeV come to be utilized for scientific and medical applications. For neutron source design, accurate description of neutron yields created by nuclear reactions is required in the simulation. However, the Intra-Nuclear Cascade type models used in most of the simulation codes are not enough to reproduce experimental data because of neglecting quantum mechanical effects. In this study, we combined the cascade type models and an event generator using the DWBA (Distorted Wave Born Approximation) calculation, which is a theoretical model based on quantum mechanics. We verified that the calculated results with the combination model can reproduce experimental data of neutron spectra in deuteron-induced reactions. We will also present the validity of the combination model for proton-induced reactions.

Heavy ion cancer therapy has been increased by reason of its clinical advantages. During the treatment, the secondary particles such as neutron and $$gamma$$-ray are produced by nuclear reactions of a heavy ion incidence on a nucleus in a patient body. Estimation of the secondary neutrons yields data is essential for assessment of radiation safety on both of workers and public in treatment facilities. We have measured the neutron yields from carbon ion incidence on carbon, nitrogen and oxygen targets in wide angular range from 15$$^{circ}$$ to 90$$^{circ}$$ with 100- and 290-MeV/u.
