Nuclear Data Newsletter, No. 60, November 2015

A series of Consultancy Meetings have just taken or are taking place: on Simulations of Plasma–Material Interaction experiments; on analysis codes for nuclear structure and decay data; on compensating effects in integral benchmarking, on nuclear data processing capabilities, and a meeting on the Generalized Nuclear Data format. A recent CRP on Prompt Fission Neutron Spectra has resulted in an impressive IAEA-led publication which will appear in Nuclear Data Sheets in January 2016. In terms of technical work, we foresee increased participation in the Collaborative International Evaluated Library (CIELO) project on evaluated data for H, O, Fe, U and Pu, and the enhancement of our capabilities on Atomic and Molecular Data and nuclear structure and decay data. EXFOR is still expanding, and the Section is carefully selecting consultancy projects to augment the nuclear reaction database with the most crucial reactions. One of our most visited webpages - the Isotope Browser App, (available as android and apple version) continues to support your work with nuclear data information. And finally, much more nuclear data development can be expected now that the IAEA has both EMPIRE and TALYS in the house
