Status of the JENDL general-purpose file

Description

It is about 30 years since we released the first version of JENDL General-Purpose File, which was developed in cooperation with the Japanese Nuclear Data Committee. We have continued to update the libraries in order to meet users' requirements. The latest version JENDL-3.3 is being used in various application fields, and its reliability has been confirmed. We are now working on the new library JENDL-4 as a mid-term plan for the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. Nuclear model codes have been developed to raise the reliability of JENDL-4. Resolved resonance parameters were re-examined and updated by considering new measurements. In the FP mass region, the coupled-channel optical model parameters were searched for in order to perform data evaluation in the non-resonance energy range. As for MA, fission and capture cross sections were evaluated. Covariance estimation has just started in the MA mass region, although we produced covariances of several nuclides in JENDL-3.3 for applications to a design study on ADS. (authors)
