Description

The importance of sequential (x,n) reactions on element activation in fusion reactors is demonstrated by a few examples studied recently. It is shown that the time-dependent total element activity in some cases is strongly governed by contributions from such reactions at least for light and medium weight elements and cooling times above more than 1 year. The nuclear data needs related to this type of reactions are briefly discussed
