13/05/2025, 10:00

The Fusion Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (FENDL), coordinated by the IAEA’s Nuclear Data Section, is a key resource for nuclear data in fusion energy applications. The project involves a broad international collaboration to evaluate, process, validate, and document nuclear data relevant for both Monte Carlo and deterministic simulations.
Recent developments have led to the preparation of...

We reviewed some issues presented at the 2023 FENDL meeting and summarized the requests for the next FENDL release about Iron, Copper, Beryllium data. Also we examined an issue which F4E group encountered in analyzing FNG tungsten experiment, which suggests that a lot of files in FENDL-3.2c include data which NJOY does not support.
19. Recent Advances in Deuteron Nuclear Data Evaluation for Structural Materials: Iron Isotopes
Shinsuke Nakayama
13/05/2025, 11:00

Since iron is one of the primary structural materials used in accelerators, to evaluate radioactivity production and design radiation shielding for the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) and its precursor facilities, accurate nuclear data on deuteron-induced reactions for iron are essential.
　These data include production cross sections of key radioactive isotopes...

Ruirui Xu
13/05/2025, 13:30

Fusion energy serves as an alternative to fossil fuels, providing zero-carbon operation and virtually inexhaustible fuel supplies. CENDL has not yet established a special evaluated data library for fusion, while already includes some nuclei required by the fusion equipment. The talk includes the brief explanation of research work related to the CENDL project, Chinese nuclear reaction data...

7. Improving nuclear cross-sections with deep learning: DINo algorithm
Lévana Gesson
13/05/2025, 14:30

The DINo (Deep learning Intelligence for Nuclear reactiOns) algorithm is a deep neural network designed to improve predictions of nuclear reaction cross-sections, crucial for applications like particle therapy in cancer treatment. Trained on TENDL 2021 data, DINo significantly outperforms traditional models, especially for proton–carbon interactions, achieving better agreement with...
37. Benchmark experiment for large angle scattering cross section of 14 MeV neutrons.
Yamato Fujii
14/05/2025, 09:30

The scattering cross section at large angles varies depending on the nuclear data library. To validate these cross sections, we developed a benchmark experimental system and conducted measurements for several elements, including iron and tungsten. For iron, calculations based on the ENDF/B-VIII.0 showed good agreement with the experimental results. In contrast, for tungsten, JENDL-5 and...

Marco Fabbri
14/05/2025, 13:30

The contribution provides a comprehensive overview of the FENDL3.2c nuclear data library, its verification and validation (V&V) process, and its impact on ITER analysis.

FENDL3.2c is the most up-to-date nuclear data library recommended by the IAEA for ITER applications. It includes transport data and activation data from TENDL-2017. The V&V process for FENDL3.2c is extensive, involving...

Authors: Marta Campos Fornés, Marco Fabbri*, Luigino Petrizzi, Aljaz Kolsek, Davide Laghi

The presentation focuses on the validation study of tungsten nuclear data using the TUD-W SINBAD benchmark. The study involves the use of two different transport codes, MCNP 6.2 and OpenMC 0.15.0, to compare spectral neutron and photon flux at various depths from a neutron source emitting almost...

A suite of Fe benchmark integral experiments with D-T, Cf-252 and fast fission neutron sources from the IPPE, Rez and ASPIS facilities shall be presented and used to rank FENDL-3.1d and FENDL-3.2c libraries according to their performances in MCNP computational models compared to experimental data. Different metrics for the evaluation of Computational-Experimental difference shall be assessed...

Davide Laghi
15/05/2025, 10:00

In the last couple of years, JADE development has been pushed forward by Fusion For Energy and UKAEA with a new objective: use the JADE framework also to perform code to code comparisons. This new collaboration led to JADE v3, a first proof of concept that ported the tool on the linux platform and allowed for the first time to run benchmarks not only with MCNP but also with OpenMC. During this...

The use of experimental nuclear reaction data in the EXFOR format~\cite{EXFORFormatsManual2015} and evaluated nuclear data in the ENDF-6 format~\cite{ENDF6FormatsManual2018} continues to be hindered by challenges in preprocessing and integration with modern computational workflows. These limitations pose significant barriers to applying advanced data analysis, modeling, and machine learning...
