Abstract:Nuclear data, describing neutron reaction probabilities (cross sections) and decay behaviour, are critical to the design and operation of fusion experiments and future fusion power plants. 
Equally vital, are the inventory codes that use the data to predict neutron-induced activation and transmutation of materials, which will define the radiological hazards that must be managed during reactor operation and decommissioning. Transmutation, including gas production, combined with the neutron-induced displ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
