Description

Requirements for light charged isotopes nuclear reaction data for advanced fusion fuel cycles are identified. This is performed in the frame of the compilation of charged particle nuclear reaction data. Those reactions are considered which determine the nuclear energy production, burn kinetics, neutron- and radionuclide production among fuel and ash isotopes. Emphasis is put on the fuel p-11B for which a review of the status of existing data is given. Other exotic fuel candidates (e.g. p-6Li) and some exotic reactions occurring in D-3He based fuels are also considered, however in less detail. We conclude that there is a lack of experimental and evaluated data for several important reactions. It is recommended that evaluations be performed, existing ones reexamined, and that they are made easily accessible for the increasing number of researchers studying advanced fuels.
