In recent years, accelerator neutron sources using deuteron-induced reactions on Li, Be, C, etc., are proposed for applications in various fields. Engineering design of such facilities requires deuteron nuclear data in a broad incident energy range. We have developed a computational code system dedicated for deuteron nuclear data evaluation in combination with some theoretical models. The code system has been applied to analyses of double-differential cross sections for C, Al, and Ni at incident energies up to 100 MeV. On the other hand, there is few experimental double-differential cross sections. Therefore, double-differential thick target neutron yields for light nuclei such as Be and C are calculated and compared with experimental data. The presentation will show the validation result of the present modelling for nucleon emissions from deuteron-induced reactions through comparison with available experimental data.
