Nuclear data for development of fusion reactors

The research on plasma confinement has advanced greatly in recent years, with the plan that an experimental fusion reactor will be developed for ten years hence, and a practical one even within the present century. The nuclear data required for the development of nuclear fusion reactors are explained as follows: types of nuclear data; fusion-reaction cross sections; nuclear data on neutrons and gamma ray in irradiation, etc.; and present status of fusion nuclear data and accuracy requirements.
