Nuclear data needs for fusion reactor design

The nuclear data needs associated with the development of fusion as an energy source will be discussed in terms of seven areas of design application including: fusion fuel cycles, tritium breeding performance (for concepts based on the D--T fuel cycle), nuclear heating, radiation damage effects, induced activity, radiation shielding, and hybrid concepts. Dosimetry applications will also be considered. The areas of application described above will be related to specific types of nuclear data and to the programmatic requirements of the Controlled Thermonuclear Research effort. The paper concludes with a summary of recent activities relevant to CTR nuclear data needs. 4 tables, 1 figure
