Development of nuclear theory model for measuring and evaluating basic nuclear data

For the purpose of developing an advanced reactor and nuclear fuel and managing the radwastes, the generation of nuclide and basic nuclear data in the area of energy is required. Since the accuracy of calculation is influenced by these basic elements, a lot of researches for the nuclear data evaluation will be continuously performed. The purposes of this project are: 1st, collection and maintenance of measured data 2nd, establishment of the processing system for collected nuclear data 3rd, introduction and installation of the model calculation code of nuclear data evaluation 4th, production of the evaluated nuclear data by using new measured data and processing system. By accomplishing this project, safety and performance in the design of reactor and shielding components can be improved. Newly developed nuclear data shall be essential for developing the advanced reactor and the fast breeded reactor, while evaluated nuclear data from foreign countries have been used for nuclear data evaluation up to the present. As the result of carrying out this project, KAERI will retain an ability to evaluate nuclear data by his own efforts and this will satisfy the domestic request. Since a lot of qualified manpower are required for nuclear data evaluation, the collaboration with advanced foreign countries shall be accomplished. (Author)
