A Technical Meeting addressing (α,n) data needs for applications spanning reactor operation and safeguards, nonproliferation and spent fuel management, low-background experiments, and nuclear astrophysics was organised by the IAEA from 8 to 12 November 2021. Over 60 participants from fifteen Member States attended the virtual event. Participants reviewed the status of (α,n) measurements, models, codes and evaluated libraries with a view to identifying the gaps in the above areas and proposing the necessary actions to address them and produce reliable (α,n) data for the applications.
