Since deuteron is a weakly bound system consisting of a proton and a neutron, it easily breaks up and emits a neutron through interaction with a target nucleus. Utilizing this property, intensive neutron sources using deuteron accelerators have been proposed for not only science and engineering fields but also medical applications. For design studies of such facilities, accurate and comprehensive nuclear data of deuteron-induced reactions are indispensable. Toward evaluation of deuteron nuclear data, we have developed a code system dedicated for deuteron-induced reactions, called DEURACS. In DEURACS, breakup processes of incident deuteron are taken into account. DEURACS was so far successfully applied to analyses of production of nucleons, composite particles up to = 4, and residual nuclei. In this talk, we will present the results of these analyses and discuss how important it is to consider the breakup processes for accurate prediction of deuteron-induced reactions. Moreover, we have recently developed JENDL/DEU-2020, a deuteron nuclear database for Li, Be, and C up to 200 MeV. DEURACS was employed for evaluation of JENDL/DEU-2020. Validation of JENDL/DEU-2020 was carried out by the simulation with the Monte Carlo transport codes. These validation results will also be presented.

Toward development of accurate deuteron nuclear data, we have been developing a computational code dedicated for the deuteron-induced reaction, called DEURACS. The author presented the developmental status and the future outlook of DEURACS in the joint session of nuclear data subcommittee and sigma special advisory committee, and contributed the outline of the presentation to Nuclear Data News. From our preceding work, it has become possible to predict the reactions on light nuclei and the reactions. These reactions are important in relation to evaluation of neutron sources and tritium production, respectively. In the future, we plan to improve theoretical models implemented in DEURACS for accurate prediction of nuclide production cross-section on medium-heavy nuclei.

Since deuteron is a weakly bound nucleus consisting of a proton and a neutron, it easily break up and emit a neutron while interacting with other nuclei. By utilizing this property, highly efficient neutron sources using deuteron accelerators have been proposed. Accurate and comprehensive nuclear data of deuteron-induced reactions are indispensable for the engineering design of such facilities. However, TENDL, which is the only deuteron nuclear data file currently available is not necessarily enough for the requirement. Under the above situation, toward development of an accurate deuteron nuclear data file, we have been developing a code system dedicated for deuteron-induced reactions, called DEURACS. The present status and the future outlook of development of DEURACS will be presented.
