Uncertainties in nuclear fission data

  • 1. Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545 (United States)

Description

We review the current status of our knowledge of nuclear fission data, and quantify uncertainties related to each fission observable whenever possible. We also discuss the roles that theory and experiment play in reducing those uncertainties, contributing to the improvement of our fundamental understanding of the nuclear fission process as well as of evaluated nuclear data libraries used in nuclear applications.
