MEETING SUMMARY
Introduction
The IAEA Technical Meeting on Co-ordination of the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data
Centres was held at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria, from 17 to 19 June 2003.
Fourteen participants of nine co-operating data centres from China, Hungary, Japan,
Russia, USA, NEA and IAEA attended the meeting.
Meetings of this network are held annually, with full meetings involving centre heads andtechnical staff every two years (the last full meeting was held in May 2002 at NEA in
Paris, France). The present meeting focused mainly on technical questions concerning the
EXFOR and CINDA databases, including the introduction of new data types, improved
quality control, new formats for the CINDA bibliographic database which in future will
include not only neutron data but all nuclear reaction data, and the migration of thenuclear reaction databases to a modern relational database management system. Technicaldiscussions were based on 28 working papers (WPs) submitted to the meeting, and themost important results of the technical sessions are summarized in the list of Conclusions
and Actions (pp. 17-24).

Brief Minutes
The meeting was opened by Alan L. Nichols, the head of the IAEA Nuclear Data Section.
The agenda was adopted with minor modifications.
A. Nichols chaired the general sessions, while O. Schwerer, the Scientific Secretary of themeeting, chaired the technical sessions on EXFOR and the EXFOR/CINDA dictionary
system; M. Lammer chaired the session on CINDA.
Each of the centres presented a brief status report. Reports of three centres who aremembers of the network but could not attend the meeting were distributed.
The general actions from the last meeting (2002) were reviewed. The meeting took noteof the revised draft of the "network document" defining the role of the nuclear reaction
data centres network and the participating centres (Report INDC(NDS)-401, Rev. 4)
which had been distributed earlier and will be published in late summer. The NRDC
protocol introduced at the 2002 Paris meeting was reviewed and amended. O. Schwerer,
the NDS staff member in charge of EXFOR compilation co-ordination for the network,
reported on the compilation situation and stressed that, if gaps in the completeness ofexperimental data in EXFOR are observed, it is essential to report these gaps to acompetent place (i.e. NDS or another network centre) and in a concrete, specific manner.
NDS staff reported on the planned workshop on “Relational Databases for Nuclear Data
Development, Dissemination and Processing: EXFOR Implementation, Maintenance and15

Compilation" which will be held in December 2003 in Vienna, with participation of
NNDC, and invited the other centres to propose possible candidates for participation.
In the technical sessions, the fulfillment of the actions of the last meeting was reviewed.
Several new EXFOR/CINDA dictionaries, needed for the new CINDA format and toharmonize CINDA and EXFOR coding, were agreed upon, and some changes of existing
dictionaries were approved. Minor modifications of the proposed new CINDA format
were agreed and several clarifications for the conversion from old to new CINDA format
were approved. A new protocol on CINDA exchange procedures and an agreement on the
future NRDC co-operation on CINDA were agreed.
The exchange of EXFOR TRANS files was reviewed and a comparison of the two
existing EXFOR check programs was presented, noting that both of them are useful andshould be kept. A number of actions related to further improving quality andcompleteness of EXFOR were agreed. Several new quantities and modified EXFOR
compilation coding rules were approved, including e.g. new coding for fundamental
particles, a new reaction type "total charge changing", new quantities for secondary
particle spectra. Among others, an action was approved on resolving some inconsistencies
in coding various types of thick target and product yield data.
V. Zerkin (NDS) demonstrated a "Stand-alone retrieval system on CD-ROM:
EXFOR+CINDA/Java2" and reported on a CINDA compilation program being
developed. He also presented progress in the Nuclear Reaction Database Migration
project at NDS. M Kellett demonstrated JANIS, the NEA-DB nuclear data plotting
package.
In the final session, the 34 conclusions and 46 actions of the meeting were reviewed, andthe next NRDC meeting was tentatively scheduled for 4-7 October 2004 (week following
the Santa Fe international conference on nuclear data for science and technology).

16CONCLUSIONS
GeneralC1

The NRDC Protocol (approved at the 2002 NRDC Meeting) is amended by adding
item 9 on “Problematic entries”:
NDS will create a new subdirectory of the open area NDSX4.TRANS for those
problematic entries which were removed from a PRELIM transmission. These
entries will be reviewed by the other centers and can be finalized at the next NRDC
meeting.

C2

The next (full) NRDC meeting (4 days) is planned for the week following the
Santa Fe Conference (i.e. starting 4 October 2004) in Brookhaven.

EXFOR/CINDA Dictionaries
C3

Dictionary 7 will be split into two: new dictionary 7 (conferences only) anddictionary 207 for books. The format will be unchanged.

C4

The particle dictionaries (EXFOR dictionaries 13, 28, 29, 33) will be unified alsoin EXFOR dictionaries (combined particle dictionary 33, as used already inarchive dictionary).

C5

A new dictionary 236 will be created by V. McLane which will provide more
space for code expansions and no longer contain the numerical equivalents for the
REACTION subfields.

C6

A new dictionary 235 will be added containing work types for EXFOR
and CINDA. (Note: present dictionary 35 contains similar information for
REACTION SF9).

C7The proposed dictionary 46 (not mentioned in WP2003-6), containing thecorrespondence between EXFOR quantities and (new) CINDA quantities, will be
replaced by an additional column in the new dictionary 236.

C8

Numbering of dictionaries: The correspondence dictionary for old and new
CINDA quantities will be dictionary 47, while the dictionary for CINDA Reader
codes will be dictionary 52. The numbers of the other new dictionaries will be as
indicated in WP2003-6.

C9

The dictionaries, including all new CINDA dictionaries, will be provided in all
formats (Archive, TRANS, Daniel-backup). The backup dictionaries should be
provided also in zipped form.

C10

The new nuclides dictionary 227 is approved in the format provided by McLane(Addition to WP2003-4) and a new Compounds dictionary 209 will be
introduced.
17

CINDA and common CINDA/EXFOR items
C11

All Japanese CINDA entries (including CPND) will go to NEA-DB (by e-mail).

C12

The CINDA Protocol (Revision of WP 2003-25) is approved.

C13

The NEA-DB will print the CINDA2003 book (cumulative issue). NDS will send
them the CINDA file for book production. The deadline for transmissions to be
included is end of August 2003. NDS will inform the NEA-DB of the number ofcopies normally sold by IAEA.

C14

The following changes of the CINDA2001 format were approved:- The quantity field will be in columns 24-26 (1 character less than before)- The institute code will start with the area code in column 27- The date of last update will be included on each record in columns 125-132.
- Comments will be shortened (from 40 in original proposal) to 38 characters

C15

The following new Reference types are introduced for both CINDA and EXFOR:AAbstract of ConferenceK
Abstract of Journal
X
Preprint
A and K will replace * for Abstract (was used in CINDA only).
The “Content” code proposed in WP 2003-5 is not introduced.
Reference types P (Progress report) and S (Conference report) are kept.

C16

Reminder: All reference codes in CINDA will be as in EXFOR, even in cases
where there were differences in the past (some long journal, report and conference
codes had shorter versions in CINDA).

C17

The proposal of WP 2003-5 for the conversion of MANY and FPROD, using
Z=999 for both, is adopted.

C18

When converting from old CINDA, centers should be aware that spontaneous
fission data must be in separate blocks from neutron fission data. The energy fieldmust be checked for SPON so that the reaction will correctly be specified as (0,F).

C19

The revised schedule for the cooperation on CINDA as summarized in WP 200326 is agreed.

C20

The meeting notes that, since NSR will take over the compilation of theoreticalworks from CINDA, the inclusion of NSR into the network should be considered.

C21

Both check programs CHEX and TEST-EXF are useful to the network. CAJAD isrecommended to consider releasing the source code (and the code to update the18dictionaries) to the network, to make sure that TEST-EXF will continue to beavailable and be maintained in the future.
Technical EXFOR matters
C22 When new codes in REACTION SF5 or SF 8 are introduced, the sequence ofcodes within a subfield should maintain consistency with other similar codes
in dictionary 36.
C23

The dictionary 27 codes for fundamental particles are approved as given in the 3rd
and 4th column of WP 2003-10 with the following modifications:• 0-K0-0 will be used for neutral kaons, and• –1 will be replaced by 1 in the Z field.

C24

The decision about a new lepton dictionary (memo CP-A/135, WP 2003-10) is
postponed until it is needed for compilation.

C25

The process code TCC (Total charge changing, WP 2003-11) is approved.

C26

The proposal on Total Spin Transfer (WP 2003-13) is approved.

C27

The new formalism for correlated particles for REACTION SF7 (WP 2003-14) isapproved using + as separator. This may be used also in EN-SEC.

C28

The proposal on Longitudinal Momentum (WP 2003-15, CP-C/313) is approved.

C29

The proposal of WP 2003-16 (Partial cross section for production of specified
number of product particles) is approved. In addition, the definition of DN ischanged to “differential with number of outgoing particles”.

C30

As a consequence of the above, the coding of the quantity "Probability ofemission of 'n' prompt fission neutrons" is changed to(…,F)NPART,PR/NUM,NU
This replaces the coding proposed in WP 2003-17.

C31

The new quantities for secondary particle spectra are agreed as proposed in WP
2003-18.

C32

New formalism for DECAY-MON is agreed as proposed in WP 2003-19.

C33

The clarification on DIS and CON (WP 2003-20, CP-C/324) is agreed.

C34

The new coding for Transmission (WP2003-21) is agreed.

Nuclear Reaction Data Center Protocol
Reviewed and amended at the 2003 NRDC Meeting, 17 June 2003
(Original drafted by O. Schwerer and V. McLane and approved at the 2002 NRDC Meeting)
The Nuclear Data Section (NDS) will assume a more pro-active role co-ordinating all Nuclear
Reaction Data Centres (NRDC). NDS staff will be responsible in this extended role for
ensuring that data compilations are undertaken and completed in an efficient, productive andtimely manner. Thus, the role of NDS will be as follows:(a) assign clear responsibilities for the creation and correction of data compilations,and drive these activities forward,(b) ensure implementation of compilation rules,(c) decide on all issues relating to dictionary codes,(d) be responsible for CINDA and EXFOR distribution to the other data centres.
1. Compilation Responsibilities
NDS will assign areas of responsibility for data compilation. If a centre assigned a particulararea of compilation (e.g., neutron data from a country or countries)1 does not carrying out their
responsibilities (i.e., compile all new data for that area in a timely manner), the NDS coordinator will re-assign all or part of those responsibilities to another volunteer centre.
A centre responsible for an area of compilation may agree with another network centre toshare the compilation work for that area on a regular basis. However, the responsibility forcoverage and quality of the compilation remains with the responsible centre.
2. Decisions Concerning Compilation Rules and New Quantities
Final decisions on proposals concerning compilation rules and new quantities can be madewith Core Centre2 agreement after discussions among all centres. NDS will be the final
arbiter in case the Core Centres are unable to reach a decision.
3. Decisions Concerning Dictionary Codes
NDS will be the final arbiter for all decisions concerning dictionary codes (see also Section 2,
above).
4. EXFOR/CINDA Transmissions
All preliminary and final EXFOR and CINDA transmissions will be sent to NDS, who will be
responsible for distributing all final transmissions.
5. Corrections to EXFOR/CINDA Entries
NDS may correct or assign volunteers to correct preliminary transmissions, that have not beencorrected and resubmitted as final transmissions in a timely manner.
1

An area may be defined in terms of a given projectile or set of projectiles, for a given country or group ofcountries, for a given data type or data types, or for any combination of these.
2Core centres will be defined by NDS, based on contributions to the network and user service capabilities.

25

6. Urgent Compilation Needs
If a centre requires a particular data set to be compiled immediately, the centre should send arequest to the responsible centre with a copy to NDS. If the responsible centre cannot compile
the data to the timetable requested, the requesting centre may compile the data as an area Z
entry. This entry will be sent to both the original responsible centre and NDS. If the
responsible centre does not intend entering the data in a timely fashion, the NDS may transmit
the new Z entry to all centres. The responsible centre can subsequently delete the Z entry, if
they are able to replace the earlier compilation with their own entry for their area.
7. Corrections to Entries Compiled at Another Centre
Notification of errors found in entries originating from another centre should becommunicated to all centres. The NDS should make sure corrections are undertaken in atimely manner. If they are not, the co-ordinator will request one of the other centres to submit
the corrected entries.
8. Maintenance of the Masterfile
NDS will maintain and distribute the EXFOR (and CINDA) Masterfile.
9. Problematic entries
NDS will create a new subdirectory of the open area NDSX4.TRANS for those problematic
entries which were removed from a PRELIM transmission. These entries will be reviewed by
the other centers and can be finalized at the next NRDC meeting.
10. NDS staff
Otto Schwerer (NDS) has been appointed co-ordinator of the NRDC Network.

Notesa). As a consequence of the above, the link between the geographical area of the Institute andthe accession number, which has been in place for all neutron data, is no longer obligatory andmay be lifted in certain cases. Similarly, for corrections to entries of another centre according
to Section 7 above, entries of different accession number areas can be transmitted on the same
TRANS file.
b). This protocol will be reviewed at each NRDC meeting.

26

CINDA Protocol(WP 2003-25 Rev.2)
V. McLane, M. Lammer, V. Zerkin

1.
The CINDA2001 format shall be the method of exchange between the Nuclear Reaction
Data Centers. The CINDA Format Manual shall contain the coding rules for CINDA
exchanges.
2.
A subset of the original “core” centers will be responsible for all CINDA transmissions.
That is, the NNDC will be responsible for the US and Canada, the NEA Data Bank will be
responsible for the NEA member countries, and the NDS will be responsible for the rest of theworld. All other centers compiling new references will transmit the data through one of thesethree centers.
3.
Updates sent by a center that contain corrections to their own entries shall be transmitted
in a separate file from updates to entries that are the responsibility of another center. The lattershall be sent in update files, separated by coordinating center.
4.

The EXFOR Accession Number will, in general, be used as the CINDA block number.

5.
The sequence number within a block shall be unique, i.e., if a line is deleted, thesequence number should not be reassigned.
6.
New blocks that are the responsibility of another center (to be transmitted on UPDATE
files) shall have block numbers beginning with zero (0) and sequence numbers equal to zero.
7.
CINDA Transmissions shall be deposited on the NDS open area, NDSX4, subdirectory
CINDA.
8.
In the case where there is problem with updates to files of a given center, the Nuclear
Data Section shall have the authority to produce transmission files for that center and release
them to all data centers.

Future NRDC Cooperation on CINDA(WP 2003-26)
Nuclear Reaction Data Center Meeting
June 2003
V. McLane, M. Lammer, O. Schwerer
GeneralThis document contains several proposals, which are meant as a starting point for further
discussions. The three main points addressed are: 1) the transmitting of CINDA entries
needs to be reorganised, 2) transmission of CINDA entries in the new formats should beinitiated before the end of the year, and 3) the new CINDA database should be considered
as an index to the experimental and evaluated data files. Detailed proposals follow.
Creation of a CINDA database in the new format
In order to allow time for the centers to work on the creation of their new CINDA
databases, there will be a moratorium on new transmissions for some period of time
before the changeover. The database creation project consists of four parts: 1) the
conversion of the existing library, 2) the production of a starter library for charged
particle and photonuclear data, 3) the addition of new entries, and 4) the addition of
entries from other existing bibliographies, and the merging of these entries with theexisting database.

1. Conversion of the existing CINDA library:
Each neutron center, or its designated center, will:•

Convert its CINDA master file to the new format,•

Retrieve the data for their area in the old exchange format, and•Send both files to NDS.

These files will be distributed by NDS to those centers that want them.
Completion: October 2003 (moratorium on new transmissions initiated 1 Sept. 2003).
2. Production of a starter library for charged particle and photonuclear data
A starter library of charged-particle and photonuclear data references will be produced by
NDS/NNDC from the existing EXFOR database after the EXFOR master file comparison
is completed and the libraries are updated.
This library will then be distributed to those centers who want it.
Completion: December 2003

28

3. Addition of new entries
For new CINDA entries, an agreement will be reached with the center responsible for coordination of coverage as to who will compile which references. After the entries arecompiled, they will be sent through the co-ordinating center to NDS. NDS will check anddistribute the entries.
Implementation: January 2004 (moratorium lifted).

4. Addition of entries from other existing bibliographies
There exist several other bibliographies that contain nuclear reaction references in a form
useful for conversion and entry into the CINDA database. Among these are the CPBIB at
NNDC and Photonuclear Data at CDFE. The conversion of these files to the CINDA
format will greatly add to the coverage of the literature in the database. However, eachreference must be checked against the contents of the CINDA database a) to see if italready exists in the database, and b) if it does not exist, to see if it should be loaded into
an already existing block. This checking and blocking may take a considerable amount oftime to complete.
Completion: to be decided for each database to be converted.
Contents of CINDA
From 2004 forward, CINDA will be considered to be an index to the experimental andevaluated data, that is, entries for theory (except those given in EXFOR entries),
compilations, and reviews will not be entered in CINDA. Such references are now
entered in Nuclear Science References (NSR), and present coverage seems to becomplete; 98% of all new theory references given in CINDA are already in NSR; acomparison of CINDA theory entries for 2000-2002 to NSR found only 4 missing
references in NSR: 3 from laboratory reports and one from a conference. The savings induplicated effort will allow more time to be devoted to data compilation. Existing
CINDA entries will remain in the database until such time as they are documented toexist in the NSR database.
For older references, the coverage in NSR is not as good. The NNDC will provide a
program to be used in checking which CINDA theory entries exist in NSR and will ask
for help in entering those which are not in NSR.
Those documents which exist or are entered in NSR will then be deleted from the CINDA
database.

P1
NNDC Status Report to the
IAEA Technical Meeting on the
Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centers
17-19 June 2003
GeneralSince the last meeting of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers in May 2002, we have had thefollowing personnel changes: I. Sirakov, completed his term in September 2002. J. Tallarine(support staff,) retired and has been replaced by J. Totans. M. Herman was hired in March 2003,
with primary responsibility for nuclear reaction data evaluation and ENDF management. Thereare currently 10 FTE scientific/professional and three support staff. One additional retirement is
expected within the coming year.
See Table 1 for list of visitors for this period. Also, attached is a list of NNDC visits to othercenters (Table 2).

Computer Facilities
The main work of the NNDC continues to be performed on our Compaq Alpha Server 4100. We
are currently in the process of migrating to a multi-server environment:
1. a dual-processor Intel Xeon Red Hat Advanced Server (2.8 GHz) as our working server;
2. two database servers (Intel Itanium-2 HP-UX (1 GHz) currently planned);
3. a Web server (Intel Xeon single processor (2.0GHz MP) currently planned. This server
will be owned by us, but operated by the BNL Information Technology Division.
NNDC replaced six PC’s running on 466-MHz Intel Celeron with PC’s having INTEL Pentium
4 preocessors. An additional Intel Pentium 4-based workstation was purchased to handle
compute-intensive activities. The remaining NNDC staff PC’s are being upgraded to WindowsXP.

Bibliographies
The NSR compilation activity has continued. Over 4,200 references were entered in FY2002.
The CINDA compilation activity continues with respect to those references associated with theexperimental data compiled at the Center. In the period from June 2002 to May 2003, 7 CINDA
transmissions were sent (see Table 3) containing a total of 1380 records.

Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data
The NNDC continues to compile neutron and charged-particle reaction data produced in the U.
S. and Canada. In the period from June 2001 through May 2002, 10 final neutron datatransmission tapes and 7 charged-particle transmission tapes were sent containing new andcorrected entries; one preliminary transmission has been sent (see Table 4).
31Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data
NNDC continues to coordinate the work of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group.
Version 6.13 of the ENDF Utility codes has been distributed and is available on the Web.
Collaboration with LANL (Chadwick) and IAEA Vienna (Trkov and Zerkin) on the developmentof a modular nuclear reaction model code EMPIRE (principle author M. Herman) for nuclear
reaction data evaluations continued. Validation of the Monte Carlo Hybrid Monte Carlo code
DDHMS (authors M. Chadwick and M. Blann, LANL) is underway. Several improvements of thecode EMPIRE were done, including new graphic user interface shown in Fig. 1, merging ofresonance and fast energy region into single ENDF-6 file, and plotting of particle spectra andangular distributions.
Collaboration with the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) on 19 fission productcross-section evaluations reached its final stage. Evaluations for 15 materials were submitted to
ENDF/B-VII. The remaining evaluations for 4 deformed nuclei are under revision.
Review of all available fission product cross sections from 5 international data files (ENDF/B,
JEF, JENDL, BROND and CENDL) continued as an international project (NEA WPEC Subgroup21, chaired by P. Oblozinsky). The project intends to review all 211 evaluations in the fission
products region (Z = 31 - 68), to focus on the bulk of evaluations and to recommend the best
evaluations for inclusion into ENDF/B-VII. After completion of trial reviews for 18 materials in
2001, SG21 reviewed another 65 materials including 15 by the NNDC.
Photonuclear data on 14N were evaluated for 9.17 MeV resonance photons, to be used in MCNP
simulations of the Gamma Resonance Technique to detect explosives. Preliminary evaluation of
74
Ge+n was performed with a focus on complete discrete and continuous photon production datathat are needed for MCNP simulations of detector systems using Germanium. To validate
EMPIRE procedures for gamma production, the well-measured 56Fe+n was compared withcalculations.
The NNDC, in cooperation with Russian Nuclear Data Center VNIIEF, Russia, and Michael
Smith (ORNL), has been awarded a grant from the Civilian Research and Development
Foundation (CRDF) for the “Compilation and Evaluation of Alpha-Induced Nuclear Reaction
Cross Sections for Astrophysics”. Work has begun on collecting references and compiling thedata. So far, a “complete” list of references for 16O, 20Ne and 24Mg has been obtained.

Nuclear Structure Data
NNDC continues to publish the Nuclear Data Sheets. As of April 2002, issues through Volume
99, #1 have been sent to Academic Press.
The experimental nuclear structure and decay data database (XUNDL) now contains more than
1000 data sets, compared to 857 one year ago).

32

Nuclear Data Base Migration
During the coming year, it is expected that administrative functions for CSISRS(EXFOR),CINDA, ENDSDF, and NSR will be transferred to the new Linux/Sybase system. This involves
installation of new software and modification of legacy codes, where appropriate, to work withthe relational database. Once this is accomplished, the VMS-based version of the database willfunction as a mirrored copy of the data, updated on a weekly basis. Similar steps will be taken forthe other databases in the following year, and the database migration is expected to be completed
by December 2004.

Customer Services
The number of online retrievals continues to increase, primarily due to the availability of mostdatabases on the Web. There are about 30,000 retrievals per month from the combined Online
Service, Web site, and anonymous ftp (97% of retrievals are from Web). A chart of statistics forthe combined online retrievals is attached.
The NNDC continues to host the USNDP Web site, CSEWG Web site, and International Nuclear
Structure and Decay Data Network Web site. The IAEA Nuclear Data Section has taken overmaintenance of the Web site for the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers (NRDC) Network.

Report to the NRDC from the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency – Data Bank,
17 June 2003
INTRODUCTION
The NEA Data Bank service statistics for 2002 continues to confirm the fact that these
services are more and more solicited in Member countries. The computer programservices, including the distribution of integral data sets, recorded close to 4700
requests, which is the highest figure ever. The increase in the request for computer
programs was especially noticeable with a 35% increase from 2001.
The statistics from the nuclear data services also show an increased number ofaccesses in 2002, especially after the removal of the password restrictions in July 2002
for accessing the EXFOR and the Evaluated data. A very large increase in the volumeof data retrieved in 2002 is the result of the release of JEFF-3.0 and of new versions ofother evaluated data libraries.
The Management Board of the Thermo-chemical database (TDB) project decided in
November 2002 to launch a new phase of the project. This new phase will be a 4-year
project starting from January 2003 and will be devoted to the review of chemical
thermodynamic data of Thorium (Th), Iron (Fe), Tin (Sn), and Molybdenum (Mo).
The Data Bank manpower situation was stable in 2002 and is expected to remain at
the present level throughout 2003 and 2004. The A5 post as head of the Data Bank
was announced in early autumn 2002, but the recruitment had to be delayed due to an
imposed freeze of vacant posts, a result of the difficult budget discussions in OECD.
The freeze was lifted in the beginning of April 2003. Two A2/3 posts, both allocatedto the nuclear data services, are expected to become vacant, one in 2003 and one in
2004.

NUCLEAR DATA SERVICESEXFOR/CINDA:
The compilation of entries for the CINDA and EXFOR databases continues. For 2002
941 CINDA entries were distributed from area 2 (that of the Data Bank Member
countries.) For this current year, 2003, many more entries are expected (~2000) as
JAERI have kindly provided the CINDA entries relevant to numerous of the JENDL
libraries (including JENDL-3.2, -3.3, -D/99) some of which were never compiled at
the time. Further to this the JEFF-3.0 library, which was officially released in April
2002 will also be included in CINDA this year. Compilation of newly published work
is also up-to-date for 2002.
The Data Bank has prepared the tables for the CINDA-2001 database entries and weare awaiting final decisions on the exact format for exchange before we finalise ourloading/distribution programs etc.
37

Following discussions with the IAEA Nuclear Data Section, it has been agreed that
the NEA Data Bank will assume the responsibility of producing and printing the
CINDA book, including the database version on CD-ROM (CD-CINDA/JANIS). Thisagreement is due to the fact that most of the CINDA book customers are within the
NEA Data Bank area and that it would be more economical for the NEA to produce
the books in-house. However for this year’s book the IAEA will provide the relevant
Postscript/PDF files relevant for sending to the printers as the NEA have as yet notdeveloped the relevant programs as we are waiting for the new format before starting
this non-trivial task.
The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion File Project (JEFF):
Since the release of the JEFF-3.0 General Purpose Library in April 2002, the work has
focused on the testing and the benchmarking of the file. An on-line form has beencreated on the Project’s web site (http://www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/jeff3feedback) inorder to facilitate the sharing of information among JEFF-3.0 users and developers.
The form allows the users to describe their feedback (e.g. processing problems, data
representation anomalies...). This information is then summarised and discussed atregular JEFF meetings. The agreed-upon corrections are made available for users whowish to use them before the next official release of the data library.
Contributions to the validation of the JEFF-3.0 library were presented by
CEA/Cadarache and NRG/Petten at the JEFF meeting held on 28 April 2003. A seriesof fast reactor criticals (MASURCA, SNEAK) were calculated and the results show
improvements with JEFF-3.0 compared to JEF-2.2. A series of ICSBEP benchmarks,
including various combinations of fuel compositions and spectra, were analysed using
various libraries, including JEFF-3.0, ENDF/B-VI.8 and JENDL-3.3. This study
confirmed the results of a previous work presented at the US Cross Section Evaluation
Working Group, namely that the most recent versions of the evaluated files lead tomore consistent benchmark results. Validation efforts within the JEFF Project areaiming in particular at solving the problem of reactivity under-prediction for LWR
lattices, an international study carried out in the framework of the NSC Working Partyon International Nuclear Data Co-operation (WPEC).
An extension of the JEFF Project mandate for another 3 years was recently agreed. It
was noted that:
1) The progress on the decay data and fission yields libraries is still slowed downby the lack of manpower.
2) There is an important decrease in the level of nuclear data activities in member
countries. In particular, it is difficult for JEFF/SCG members to makecommitments on a level of participation of their country in the JEFF Project
for the coming years. Thus, the planning of activities and deliverables is
uncertain.

38

The JANIS software:
The first official version of the nuclear data-plotting package JANIS was released in
October 2001. Since then, about 700 copies of the CD-ROM have been distributed
and important feedback has been accumulated, mainly originating from E. Dupont(CEA, Cadarache), A. Koning (NRG, Petten) and Christopher Dean (Serco Assurance,
Winfrith).
A new version, which will address this feedback, is expected to be released in latesummer 2003. It is planned that this new version would enable the user to accessactivation data described using files 8, 9 and 10 of the ENDF-6 format as well as
NUBASE-formatted files. The "Computation" and "Weighting" features will be
generalised to allow the user to combine several types of data (e.g. a combination ofcross-sections and angular distributions for the production of differential crosssections).
The structure of the data in JANIS-1.0 (serialised Java objects) is considered to be an
important weakness since databases created with a given version of JANIS become
obsolete when the data input routines are updated. To overcome this difficulty, a
relational database technology will be used to store and retrieve the data. A Java-based
database will be used in the next version to index ENDF-6 formatted files. The code
will then directly access these files for the display and manipulation of the data.
It is also planned to incorporate the CINDA database into the next version of JANIS.
A first version including CINDA is currently being tested. The longer term goal is toincorporate all the major databases containing nuclear data related information(CINDA, EXFOR and Evaluated data) in JANIS and to develop routines for updatingthese databases through on-line connection to the master databases stored at the NEA
Data Bank.
Services to Nuclear Data Users:
The nuclear data services are to a very large extent provided through direct on-line
access to the CINDA, EXFOR, EVA databases containing bibliographic, experimental
and evaluated nuclear data respectively. Following the decision by the NSC Executive
Group last year to eliminate the password protection for the database containing
experimental and evaluated data, the Data Bank has noticed a significant increase in
the number of real accesses. The term “real accesses” refers to the number of accesses
after subtraction of Internet search engines, which constitute a substantial proportionof the total number of accesses. For more details about this and the number ofaccesses to the different databases, see the section below on “Computer Infrastructure
and Development”.

COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT
Achievements in 2002
HardwareDual Internet Service Providers and Linkproof
One of our Internet Service Providers (ISP), KPNQWEST, went bankrupt in June
2002 and was replaced by the TELIA operator. By December 2002 the Internet links
with Telia and Renater were both running at 2 Mbps. In the previous configuration,
the traffic was being preferentially routed through only one ISP because of theartificial weightings being given in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This problem
no longer exists, as we have abandoned the BGP approach to one that relies on
dynamically determining the optimum route for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
The route balancing work is done by a device called “Linkproof”.
Linux cluster architecture
A set of 4 Linux operating systems in rack mounted Dell equipment has replaced the
Ex-Digital True-64 Intranet server. All common system files, Intranet files and user
files are stored on a shared Network Attached Storage (NAS) device through a
Network File System (NFS) protocol.
Cisco switches
The internal network equipment shared by the Data Bank and the Office Automation(OA) unit of the Agency was completely renewed. Fast switches have been installed in
two different parts of the premises. The vital elements of the network have the ability
to failover to their corresponding redundant partners.
BackupAn integrated file backup operation, servicing all of NEA, was implemented in spring
2002. All platforms (Unix, Linux, NAS and NT servers) have their file systems
backed up to cassettes by the same unique tool. In addition the NAS uses daily andweekly snapshots to keep track of all file changes. This affords the capability torestore online any file lost within a month.
Online Services
Statistics of the usage of the Data Bank services rely on the logging of all accesses
through the web site. It is necessary to eliminate from the logs various unrepresentative accesses such as ‘Page not found’ errors, images and icons that get
downloaded with a page view and so on. It has become apparent in recent years thatsearch engines account for a large fraction of accesses to the web site. For instance,
the number of accesses to the Computer Program Abstracts was 690,000 in 2001 and
733,000 in 2002. The search engines alone accounted for 364,000 (53%) and 507,000(69%) in 2001 and 2002 respectively. This year we have attempted to remove thesearch robots from the statistics. Although there still remain many cases where realend users have downloaded large parts of the site using freely available tools toaccomplish this task easily.

40

When access to parts of the site is password protected, there is no interference from‘commercial’ search engines. Such was the case in 2001 for the Computer Program
requests and downloads and the EXFOR, Evaluated data files and JEFF documents. In
July 2002, following a decision by the Executive Group, the password protection wasremoved from the nuclear data areas. As a result there was a rapid increase in thenumber of accesses to those pages.

The number of total ‘page accesses’ to the various services has not changed very muchsince last year and is at about half a million. On the other hand much larger files are41

now being transferred through the Internet; in particular for the Computer program
dispatches and the Evaluated files (as a result of the release of JEFF-3.0 and JENDL3.3 in particular).
Current and recent work in 2003
Cinda and Janis
The Data Bank started to produce a CDROM version of CINDA in 2000. Since thattime the CD-Rom database used was a version of Oracle which could only run on
Microsoft Windows. We have now completed a version of CINDA based on the same
Java database system used in Janis: Mackoi. At the same time, the opportunity was
taken to integrate CINDA into the Janis environment. Janis now integrates all three
nuclear data repositories managed by the Data Bank (Evaluations, EXFOR and
CINDA) into a single multiplatform CD-based search and plot facility. The final Janis
2.0 release is expected in the summer.
E-mail spam and security
An enormous amount of spam E-mails arrive at the Data Bank and the increasing
trend is alarming. It is also becoming more difficult to recognize which emails are
spam, as, for instance, the emails could consist of just an image and a text analysis
tool will be powerless. A highly recommended software system (called Mailsweeper)has been installed in February with the ability to intercept spam emails based onphrase lists which are updated automatically on a daily basis. The software also
protects from viruses using a similar text analysis mechanism.
Plans for 2003-2004
Internet server
The current Internet server is a dual ex-Digital True-64 Unix system. It is expected toremain in service for the next two years. It is reliable and powerful enough to fulfil its
main role as Web server. There are, however, signs that its configuration is becoming
obsolete. A major operating system upgrade is overdue and there are alreadydifficulties in finding or installing current versions of open source software (Apache2, Java, Verity search, …). It is therefore planned to install a standard Linux web
server in such a way that Web accesses will be spread equally over the two servers (ina round robin set up). The Linux server will be able to fully replace the True-64 Unix
server when taken offline for upgrades.
Parallel computing
It is planned to implement a code such as MCNP on the set of Linux machinescurrently used for the Intranet and other dedicated tasks. The 8 Linux computers at our
disposal can be configured to run the parallel processing tasks during the night whennormal activity is at a minimum. With this technique, it is expected that somebenchmark calculations and computer program tests, running in tens of days, will beover in much less time.
ORACLEA major upgrade of the internal ORACLE database management system software(version 8 to version 9i) is planned for this period. It will improve the operation of the42

“hot standby” facility we implemented between the master ORACLE server and the
backup server. Currently, the operation of failing over to the standby machine requires
a good deal of manual intervention.

COMPUTER PROGRAM SERVICES
Acquisitions:
During 2002 in all 85 new or revised versions of computer codes were acquired and
103 were verified, tested and master-filed. Twenty-two new or revised compilations ofintegral experiments (SINBAD, IFPE and IRPhE) were acquired during 2002. The
number of acquired and tested programs and integral sets of data exceeds the expectedvalues. The increase of testing could be realised with the help of external consultants.
The trend in acquisition of packages from member countries and others participatingin the computer program service is shown in the following figure:Computer Program Acquisitions - January 1964 - 2002

Dispatches:
During 2002, 2984 computer program packages were distributed, which is larger than
expected. Regarding integral data experiments, 1680 sets were distributed during
2002, which is slightly lower than the figure of recent years. An additional 249
programs were distributed directly in Japan.
913 packages or 24% of the total distribution in 2002 were sent to non-OECD
establishments or International Organisations.

IAEA Nuclear Data Section: Progress Report, 2002/03
to the Technical Meetingon the Co-ordination of the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres,
IAEA, Vienna, 17 - 19 June 2003
Work done in the field of nuclear data by staff in the IAEA Nuclear Data
Section is summarised for the period 1 June 2002 – 31 May 2003.

e-mail: services@iaeand.iaea.org

O. Schwerer (editor)

1. Staff
The authorized staff level of the Nuclear Data Section remained at a total of 18 professionaland support staff. The vacant position in the Atomic and Molecular Data Unit was filled by Denis
Humbert in October 2002. Three staff members left NDS in 2003, and it is hoped that these
positions will be filled later in the year: Mike Herman left at the end of February 2003 for a similar
post at NNDC, BNL; Meinhart Lammer retired at the end of March 2003, while P. Kevin
McLaughlin retired at the end of May 2003.

2. Data compilations
2.1 CINDA
As a contribution to the new format and file ‘CINDA-2001’, the necessary platformindependent software was developed as described under item 4 below, and was extensively tested.
Furthermore, the old CINDA file was converted to CINDA-2001 format and the resulting data basechecked. In particular, the conversion and coding of references and the new reaction-quantity codes
were checked, and new proposals for coding have been made for discussion at the meeting.
Currently, NDS staff are scanning about 40 journal titles received regularly and about 25
titles from indexing journals. These include 9 journals originating from area 1 countries, 16 fromarea 2 and 6 translation series; the rest originate from area 3 countries.
Since the last NRDC meeting, NDS staff have prepared and transmitted 4 CINDA batches(NDS038-041) containing altogether 3569 CINDA entries (1733 area 3 entries in exchange format
and 1836 in reader format for processing by other centers).
CINDA 2002 was published as a cumulative issue, including literature published and data
files compiled/updated between 1988 and 2002. A new book page format has been developed tomake full use of the space provided with the new A4 book format. The text pages in the Introduction
45

and Annex of the book have been completely revised. A copy of the CD-CINDA 2002, produced
and supplied cost-free by the NEA-DB, was inserted in a special pocket of the CINDA 2002 bookand was distributed with the book.

2.2 EXFOR and Dictionaries
Since last year’s meeting, four neutron TRANS files (3111-3114) were distributed
containing 17 new and 37 revised entries. 19 new charged-particle transmissions were received fromATOMKI, checked and finalized at NDS and, together with some NDS revisions of earlier entries,
transmitted on two area D TRANS files (D025, D026).
Altogether 42 TRANS files from the network were received, checked and processed at
NDS, containing 711 neutron entries (357 new, 354 revised), 396 charged-particle entries (355 new,
41 revised) and 26 photonuclear entries (10 new, 17 revised).
Since the previous meeting, NDS produced and distributed three transmissions of the
EXFOR/CINDA dictionaries (9080-9082) in EXFOR, DANIEL and archive format.

2.3 Evaluated data libraries, files and data processing codes
New evaluated data libraries, files and data processing codes were checked and advertisedfor distribution to the NDS customers through the Web or on CD-ROM. Some of these products
were obtained from the network of co-operating centres, while others comprise the results of
IAEA/NDS CRPs and data development projects. They include:•
JEFF-3.0 General Purpose Library;•
JENDL-3.3, Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library;•
Minsk Library of Actinides, with documentation;•
Data for Prompt Gamma 2002 (on CD-ROM only);•
DROSG 2000 Neutron Source Reactions, Version 2.2;•
EXFOR+CINDA/Java on Web (test version at development machine);•
EXFOR+CINDA/Java2 on CD-ROM;•
RIPL-2 Reference Input Parameter Library;•
EMPIRE-II, Modular System of Codes for Nuclear Reaction Calculations, Version
2.18;•
ENDF Utility Codes, Release 6.13;•
PREPRO2002 ENDF/B Pre-Processing Codes;•
ENDVER Verification Codes, updates of November 2002.
3. Services
On-line data services continue to be provided by NDS staff through the Alpha system.
However, new and more cost-effective platforms are being developed to serve the various nuclear
databases (see Section 4). The Web interface to the EXFOR and CINDA databases has been adopted
to Alpha/VMS. NDS can now use the new software on the VMS-platform, and this system can beinstalled on the Linux-platform in other nuclear data centres.

46

The number of Web-retrievals by Member State users from the main Agency nuclear
databases continues to increase mainly due to the opening of access to new libraries, files, programsand documents. Individual users also requested 1108 CD-ROMs containing the desired nuclear data
and related documentation, and the number of requests for off-line retrievals remains at an
approximately constant level of around 2500. Statistics are shown in Fig. 1 for accesses andretrievals from NDS and IPEN-mirror Web sites, including the geographical distribution of users.
A new scheme is in operation for NDS document and product distribution, which isbased on a “wish list” as selected by the customers from a list of the NDS activities and modes of
distribution. The addresses from the ADLIST database will be merged with the common IAEA
addresses database, and options supported by the IAEA central documents distribution facility.
However, NDS will still keep control of the addresses of their customers.
Biannual Nuclear Data Newsletters advertising new NDS products and services were
published and distributed as hardcopies and electronically. Twenty-two INDC-NDS and countries’
reports were prepared and published as hardcopy and electronically, including two complete Nuclear
Constants journals translated from Russian to English.
4. Development of New Generation of Nuclear Databases and Services
A key task to create a fully platform-independent nuclear database has been successfullycompleted: a trial version of the nuclear reaction database has been developed and tested thatcombines bibliographic (CINDA) and experimental (EXFOR) data, and can be run on any platform
supporting SQL and Java.
During the past year the following items were developed: CINDA loading software was created.
 CINDA Web retrieval system using Java-Servlet technology was created on Linux and tested
with MySQL (NDS) and SyBase (NNDC).
 EXFOR+CINDA CD-ROM with a retrieval system based on Java2 for Windows and Linuxwas developed. The system has replaced EXFOR/Access CD-ROM for Windows. Integrates
CINDA, does not need any installation, can work on several platforms with local and remote
database, and has extended functionality.
 New EXFOR regular database maintenance has begun at NDS and NNDC.
 Web interface to EXFOR and CINDA was adopted to VMS with Apache Web-server using
Tomcat and Java in full scale, including plotting (ZVView). Now available through NDS
main page with addresses:
http://ndsalpha.iaea.org:8008/exfor2/index.html(EXFOR)
http://ndsalpha.iaea.org:8008/exfor2/cinda.htm (CINDA).
Tasks for the next year: begin ENDF-Relational project development: loading utilities, Web interface, create CINDA compiler’s tool to input data to database, continue development of EXFOR and CINDA-Relational: utilities, documentation, etc.
5. Nuclear data development
Although nuclear data development is outside the immediate nuclear data centre's
operations, we give a brief summary of recent developments below.

47

Nuclear data standards and evaluation methods:
First RCM of CRP on "Improvement of the Standard Cross Sections for Light Elements"
included a detailed analysis of all problems to be faced in this reaction standards evaluation,agreed benchmarking of the codes to be employed, and the formulation of an appropriate work
plan. The primary aim is to prepare these extremely important standards over the next 2 to 3
years according to the specifications and requirements of Member States.
Final RCM on "Update of X- and Gamma-Ray Decay Data Standards for Detector Calibration
and Other Applications" was held in Vienna on 21-24 October 2002. The database resulting
from this CRP is being assembled and documentation will be completed by the end of 2003.
Agreed modifications to the CRP library on "Nuclear Model Parameter Testing for Nuclear
Data Evaluation (Reference Input Parameter Library: Phase II)" were implemented and tested
during 2002, and the data work programme is close to completion. Detailed documentation is
now being prepared, and will be ready for publication by the end of 2003.
An extension was approved for CRP on "Fission Product Yield Data Required for Transmutationof Minor Actinide Nuclear Waste", and fourth RCM was held in Vienna, 25-29 November 2002.The
database and documentation will be prepared in late 2003.
Nuclear data for radiotherapy using radioisotopes or external radiation sources:
A Consultants’ Meeting on "Nuclear Data for Production of Therapeutic Radioisotopes" was heldin Vienna, 27 February - 1 March 2002, at which the creation of a co-ordinated research project on
this topic was strongly advocated. Thus, proposals for participation have been solicited, and the first
RCM will be held on 25-27 June 2003.
Data for the Th-U-fuel cycle:
CRP on "Data for the Th-U Fuel Cycle" has formally begun: two research contracts and threeresearch agreements have been awarded, and the first RCM is scheduled for 25-29 August 2003.
Work to establish an international database on the properties of irradiated graphite has continued
as an extra-budgetary project. Fourth meeting of the Steering Committee was held 16, 17 October
2002 at IAEA Vienna, with the introduction of a new member (the Netherlands). Work continues
to expand the database and improve the interface communications.
Nuclear data for reactor dosimetry:
The Agency organised a technical meeting on "International Reactor Dosimetry File (IRDF-2002)"
in Vienna on 27-29 August 2002. Problems with existing data were identified, and corrective actions
were discussed and assigned to participants or other experts in the field, subject to their approval
to address these issues. The bulk of the work should be completed by the end of 2003.

EXFOR and CINDA activity.
1. TRANS 4127-4129 were prepared with 112 entries (17 new, 95
corrected). Three CINDA batches (CJD044-CJD046) with 2031
entries were transmitted.
2. During 2002-2003 we were engaged in checking Cinda Entry`s coded
as “many”. Some of them were compiled again in order to split byelements. We found that it was very useful. In process of this worksome essential errors were corrected. We are going to do further the
checking and re-compilation, if necessary, in order greatly diminish
the number of works with code “many”. In some cases thecorresponding corrections were made in EXFOR entries.
3. In addition to Dr. S.Maev another coworker of CJD (Marina
Mikhailyukova) was engaged in EXFOR compilation. Many years she
worked together with Dr. A.Blokhin in nuclear data processing for the
BROND Library. At present time we are going to train Marina as
EXFOR compiler.

6. Considerable efforts are made to provide by reliable nuclear data the
problem of activation and radiation damage of materials used innuclear reactors and fusion designs. Selection of reaction excitation
functions is made on the base of empirical systematics developed in
CJD. The final aim is to check all available data and prepare thelibrary similar to the FENDL-2/A, ADL-3 or EAF-99 but morereliable from our point of view.
We greatly appreciated the help of V.Pronyaev, O.Schwerer, L.Castello
and M.Lammer to overcome our technical problems for successful
compilation into CINDA and EXFOR.

Collaboration.
We worked in collaboration with the NNDC. CNPD digitizes data produced in the
US and Canada for entries with mark "C" and "T".
Our CRDF project started at March,8. In collaboration with NNDC we shall review
and evaluate alpha-induced cross sections for nuclei with 8 ≤ Z ≤ 32 and Ec.m. ≤ 20 MeV.
At the first quarter we started a search of reports including experimental measurements

Nuclear Science Reference) They found 80 references. Having analyzed the references
we found that only 14 of them are in the EXFOR (International data base forexperimental data). According to the agreement between the data centers we asked othercenters about their compilation plans concerning reports.
Finally, we reached an agreement that we’ll compile 59 reports.
In the most of these references the data are present only on figures. We are unable toacquire the actual data because the experiments were done several years ago and authors
didn’t keep these data. We started the process of scanning curves from figures. There isa lot of figures in reports. Now we finished compilation of 15 entries. 12 references wedidn’t find on our shells and we’ll receive them next month from NNDC. The data on adiskette was transmitted by NPDC to the NNDC for entry into the EXFOR data library.
Our ISTC project is at the stage of approval. The Governing Board agreed toconvene an Executive Session meeting in Moscow on 30 June 2003. During July, the
ISTC Funding Parties will hold an electronic Project Funding Session. We hope on thebest. We asked Akira Hasegawa and Charlie Dunford to facilitate the process of the
project advance.
As you remember, the objective of this project is to create an integrated relationalbase (IRBD) of data on nuclear reactions, to fill it with data from the libraries
EXFOR/CSISRS, NSR, specialized PNI library, science and engineering journals andother similar information sources. We plan to fulfill this work in collaboration with otherRussian centers.
Software.
Before, our software was divided into two parts. One was installed at PC with57

WINDOWS-98 operating system, another at the Alpha-station with Open VMS operating
system. Unfortunately, our Alpha-station stopped and now we use only WINDOWS2000(and upper) operating system. We were forced to upgrate and to install the wholesoftware on PC with WINDOWS2000 operating system.
New software for digitizing curves was installed. Unfortunately, there are a few
mistakes in the old version.
The EXFOR data were input to the NDX system. Now NDX includes all
international nuclear data libraries excluding NSR and CINDA.

Progress Report of the Charged Particle Nuclear Data Groupof the Institute of Nuclear Research, (Atomki) Debrecen, Hungary
to the IAEA Technical Meetingon the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres
17 - 19 June 2003
S. Takács

GeneralThe Nuclear Data Group at the Institute of Nuclear Research of the Hungarian
Academy of Sciences (ATOMKI) is working within the Cyclotron Department.
The main activity of the nuclear data group in Debrecen is concentrated on the integral
cross sections of light ion induced reactions. The investigated reactions are connected to
the following application fields:• nuclear reactions for production of diagnostic radioisotopes,• nuclear reactions for therapeutic radioisotopes• nuclear reactions for thin layer applications• nuclear reactions to monitor beam parameters• nuclear reactions connected to transmutation of radioactive waste
The investigations include experimental measurements, data compilations, data
evaluations, data validations and data applications. The investigations are connected toseveral applications simultaneously. The experimental measurements and the data
evaluations are done in international collaborations. The main partners for measurementsof nuclear data for production of therapeutic radioisotopes: VUB Brussels, FZ Jüelich,CYRIC Tohoku University.

Recent Progress
We have continued the determination of experimental cross sections on various
target materials bombarded with charged particle beams, as well as the compilation andthe critical comparison of several selected processes used for production of medicallyimportant radioisotopes, for monitoring charged particle beams and for thin layer
activation measurements.
In 2002 first priority was given to check, update and upgrade of the evaluatedReference Database for medical isotope production and monitoring light charged particle
beams. The database including recommended cross-section data and the corresponding
deduced yields was published in IAEA-TECDOC-1211 and also was placed on theworld-wide-web. The results of the Co-ordinated Research Project for "Development ofreference charged particle cross section database for medical radioisotope production"
were reviewed and 11 nuclear reactions for positron emitters were updated with59

experimental results not included in the primary data base.
A validation test and upgrading of the recommended cross-section database for
production of PET radioisotopes in charged particle induced reactions was performed.
Experimental microscopic cross section data published earlier or measured recently andnot yet included in the earlier evaluation work were collected and added to the primarydatabase in order to improve the quality of the recommended data. The newly compiled
experimental data in some cases influenced the decision made earlier and resulted in new
selected cross-section data sets. A spline fitting method was applied to the selected data
sets an updated recommended data were produced in those cases. The integral thick target
yields deduced from the new recommended cross sections were critically compared withexperimental yield data available in the literature and were compared with the data of thefrequently used compilation work of P.P. Dmitriev, (Radionuclide Yield in Reactions
with Protons, Deuterons, Alpha Particles and Helium-3, Moscow, Ehnergioatomizdat(1986), and INDC(CCP)-263/G+CN+SZ (1986)).
The results of the upgrading work were summarized in an article and were sentfor publishing to Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research B. New
evaluation and fit was performed for 8 reactions to produced improved recommended
cross section. Data validation was performed for all the 11 investigated reactions bycollecting and comparing experimental thick target integral yields with the calculated
ones deduced from the new recommended cross sections. Generally the available
experimental yields support our new recommended yields with minor deviations.
Computational error and/or sub-optimal fitting procedures were detected in the TECDOC
published data which were also corrected. The recommended cross section values for the
11 investigated reactions were compiled in EXFOR entry D4111.
Good agreement was found between our data and the ones published by Dmitriev
for the 14N(p,α)11C and 69Ga(p,2n)68Ge reactions. In two cases, 16O(p,α)13N and18
O(p,n)18F, the agreement is good up to 16 and 8 MeV respectively but above theseenergy points Dmitriev’s data are higher than our ones. For the natNe(d,x)18F and124
Te(p,n)124I reactions the data agree within a few percent. In the case of 85Rb(p,4n)82Sr
and natRb(p,x)82Sr the values in compilation work of Dmitriev are too low and are in
disagreement with the new recommended yield data. No data were published by Dmitriev
for the 15N(p,n)15O, 14N(d,n)15O and natGa(p,x)68Ge reactions. The results of this part of
the upgrading work are summarized in Table 1.

EXFOR compilation
As agreed earlier the Debrecen CP Nuclear Data Group collects and compiles
charged particle experimental cross section data measured in Debrecen and Jüelich.
In the last year this activity was temporary slowed down, due to the overload by otherprogram. By this time two TRANS were transmitted to NDS including 19 entries and 85
new subentries containing experimental data.

Nuclear data services
The group continue to supply compiled experimental charged particle data at low
a medium energies for special request, needed mainly on non-energy related applications(medical isotope production, TLA, etc).
60

Staff
The staff consists of three physicists, working in different application areas at the
Debrecen cyclotron. They work in-part time in different percentage on data measurement
and compilations and other related work. The main problem is the lack of technicalsupport for data input

Technical developments
New high speed computers were installed to increase the effectivity of data
evaluation and data processing of experimental primary data. A high resolution scannerand simple but effective software were also put into operation to scan and digitize data
given only in graphical form.

Planned new measurements to complete the available charged particle data
In collaboration with other laboratories we participate in a systematic study andmeasurements of CP cross sections data in low and medium energy range. The reactions
are selected on the basis of the every day practice and requirements of the collaborating
laboratories, and on the problems arising during compilation and evaluation of theavailable data. We continue to investigate the following processes and areas:• Production of radioisotopes for medical diagnostic.
• Production of radioisotopes for therapy.
• Commonly used reactions for thin layer activation technique.
• Intercomparison of commonly used monitor reactions.
• We continue to work on the problems related to the Reference Database for medical
isotope production and monitoring light charged particle beams.
• We continue to compile new entries in EXFOR from the papers published by the INC,
Forschungszentrum Jüelich, Jüelich, Germany, and Institute of Nuclear Research,
Debrecen, Hungary.

2. Nuclear Data Evaluation
CENDL-3.0 was accomplished during 1996~2000, it includes 214 nuclides forgeneral purpose. A new five year plan (from 2001 to 2005) has been started for thedevelopment of nuclear data evaluation and library construction. CENDL-3.0, bothgeneral purpose data file and special purpose data file, will be developed further to
CENDL-3.1. The general purpose data file will include more nuclides (>300) and morefiles (for example covariance data files). More fission product nuclides will also be
increased. The data for important nuclides will be improved further. The resonanceparameters will be investigated and evaluated. The fission yield data and decay data will
be continuously evaluated.
The nuclear data measurement, evaluation and validation will still be combined in
CENDL-3.1 improvement and development.
The planned status of CENDL-3.1 is shown in Table 2.

1. General
In 2002, we have carried out the following activities:
1.

7.

Compiling CPND (Charged-Particle Nuclear Reaction Data) (26 entries) inJapan with the NRDF (Nuclear Reaction Data File) format.
Transmitting CPND into the EXFOR data (79 entries, including 75 new)
Improving a web-based system, so-called HENDEL, an online editor-compiler
for both NRDF and EXFOR.
Disseminating CPND and promoting its utilization in Japan.
Developing a new retrieval system, named DARPE (DAta Retrieval and Plotting
Engine) for NRDF.
Designing a new retrieval system for EXFOR and JENDL (in collaboration withJAERI and SAE).
Investigating titles of journals which will be scanned by JCPRG for compilationof the CPND bibliographic information to CINDA.

The regular JCPRG budget has ended at March 2001. Starting from 2002, thebudget ZDV GUDZQ RQ D FRPSHWLWLYH EDVLV 7KH EXGJHW RI  ZDV DFFHSWHG WR EH

2. NRDF Data Compiling Activity
In 2002 we newly compiled 26 entries (717 tables, 3.23 MB) based on CPND
obtained with the accelerators in Japan and published in NP/A, PR/C, PRL, PL/B,
NIM/A, NST, EPJ/A, PTP and JP/G. One of important progresses in this year is foundin quality of numerical data according to the following reason: With the cooperation ofexperimentalists, we received many numerical data from authors of references. The dataof 520 tables (72.5%) among 717 tables were obtained from authors directly, while dataof 38 tables (5% of total table number) were taken by scanning figures.
3. Transmission to EXFOR
Since the last NRDC meeting (May 2002, Paris), 4 files E021, E022, E023 and R013
have been transmitted to IAEA-NDS. E021, E022 and R013 were accepted and added
into the EXFOR master. Preliminary trans files of these were corrected based oncomments from NDS, CAJaD and NNDC. Many new codes proposed through 17 CPMemo promote the transmission of Japanese CPND.
Recent CPND sent to the NDS open area are summarized in the following table (June2002 to May 2003):

The number of newly transmitted entries is remarkably increased in comparison
with results of the last year (Last year, we transmitted one entry E019 which includes 12
new entries). E1706, E1717 and E1751 are now pending because these data contain
inclusive reaction data (production cross sections of elementary particles). These will be
therefore transmitted after getting an agreement about the elementary particles code
scheme in EXFOR.
In order to solve the duplication problem shown in WP2002-17, we deleted 18 Elibrary entries (which are duplications of E1790 to E1799), and also deleted 3 R-library
entries, R0002, 0023 and R0024 (which are duplications of A0161, A0175 and A0265).
There are still 6 duplication pairs between E-library and O-library.
All E-entries after E1700 have been compiled by HENDEL (web-based editor for
NRDF and EXFOR). Using this editor, we can compile CPND in both formats of NRDF
and EXFOR quite efficiently. Now we are working on the compilation of data publishedin the first quarter of 2003 (and some old references which should be in but lacked in the
E-library).
3. Web-Based Editor “HENDEL”
Since July 2001, JCPRG has compiled all NRDF and EXFOR entries using the webbased editor HENDEL (Hyper Editor for Nuclear Data Exchange Language) as reported
in WP2002-31. This editor is a very useful tool for us to compile CPND in both formats
of NRDF and EXFOR simultaneously. HENDEL has been improved to cover completely
CPND which JCPRG compiled, but it does not yet include whole part of EXFOR System
Manual. We will further improve the HENDEL system and open website of HENDEL
to the other centers for testing and comments in near future (see Action 29 of the NRDC
meeting 2002).
4. Customer Services
Now the retrieval services of NRDF are available via web-server of JCPRG(http://www.jcprg.org/ ) and customers can access to NRDF data for 1213 references. In
order to improve the retrieval environment, we are developing a new NRDF retrieval
system DARPE (DAta Retrieval and Plotting Engine), by which we can compare many
data from various entries on the same panel. This system is now on the step of the final
test and will be released on the third quarter of 2003. We are also developing a retrieval
system based on the IntelligentPad in order to extend the NRDF data service.
Other development started at the last winter in collaboration with JAERI and SAE.
In this project, the new system for retrieval, plot and utilization of EXFOR and JENDL(Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library) is being developed.
5. Recent Trend of Nuclear Reaction Data
We studied recent trends of neutron and charged-particle induced nuclear reaction

data published in 2002 by taking statistics for 8 major journals (PR/C, PRL, PL/B, NP/A,
EPJ/A, JP/G, JPJ and PAN). In total, 614 papers were screened. These papers are
categorized by journal, area, incident energy, induced particle, target and detectedparticle. We compared the results with a similar research which was done in 1991
(751papers). The main trends found in this research are as follows
Journal: The majority of the papers, both in 1992 and in 2002, were published by
PR/C, although their number has slightly decreased. The number of papers in NP/A
has also decreased, whereas EPJ/A published more paper in 2002. Numbers of
papers published in PRL and PL/B are almost the same as a decade ago.
Area: According to the location of accelerators, we categorized papers by 5 areas(EU, US-Canada, CIS, Japan, Others). Accelerators in E countries published themost papers, with US and Canada following them (as in 1992). The combined
number of papers with the data produced in the CIS countries was reduced by about
half. The number of papers reporting on the data obtained at Japanese accelerators
is almost the same as in 1992.
Incident energy: The number of papers reporting on thermal and low energy(<15MeV/A) reactions is the largest. The number of higher energy experiments isless than that of thermal and low energy experiments, but increased in comparison
with that of 1992 (130% for 15-150MeV/A, 100% for 150 MeV-1 GeV/A and
150% for 1- GeV/A).
Induced particle: The number of neutron induced experimental data is reduced to
25% of the previous result, while the total number of - and K- meson induced
experiments is now larger than that of neutron induced experiments
Target: Experiments with heavy nuclei (A>40) contributed to the major art of thepapers both in 2002 and in 1992. Light target (A<4) experiments are not frequently
reported, although the number of papers on them increased about fourfold.
Detected particle: In the most experiments, the detected particle is . Next,
hadrons, light nuclei (A<4) and heavy nuclei (A>4) are detected in a similar numberof papers.
6. CINDA CPND entries for Japanese Journal
We have discussed the Japanese journals which should be scanned by JCPRG forcompilation of the CPND bibliographic information to CINDA. We are planning to scan
JPJ, PTP, NST and NSTS regularly (This is a subject to be discussed in NRDC).

1. JENDL-3 revision 3 (JENDL-3.3: General Purpose File) and beyond

After 8 years of endurable revision works for JENDL-3.2 which had been released in 1994,
the latest version of JENDL-3 (JENDL-3.3) was released publicly in May 2002. It contains thedata for 337 nuclides in the energy range from 10-5 eV to 20 MeV. The ENDF-6 format is
adopted. The pointwise files are also constructed at 0 K and 300 K by using RESENDD,
RECENT, LINEAR and SIGMA1. All data are released on the WEB of our home page
http://wwwndc.tokai.jaeri.go.jp/jendl/j33/j33.html
or in a CD-ROM published from JAERI Nuclear Data Center (Aug. 2002)
The data improvement of JENDL-3.2 started at April 1997. Then after 5 years revision
work, JENDL-3.3 has been completed by March 2002 and released in May 2002 officially as aconsolidated new version of JENDL. This is a cooperative work done by JAERI NDC (Nuclear
Data center) and JNDC (Japanese Nuclear Data Committee).
Some remarks of JENDL-3.3 are presented at
http://www.jaeri.go.jp/english/press/2002/020510
The main features of JENDL-3.3 are summarized as follows:
1) Supply of qualified covariance data
Covariance data are supplied for major reactor constituents, such as major actinides, structural
materials and main coolants, to be used for the applications of FBR, LWR and Fusion reactors.
This was done so as to be able to make estimation of quantitative contribution of nuclear data
uncertainty to design accuracy or safety margin. Only one nuclide (Mn-55) covariance data was
supplied in the JENDL-3.2. Strong requests for this data comes from FBR reactor projects inJapan conducted by JNC(Japan Nuclear Fuel Cycle Corporation) as well as LWR reactor designgroup of Reactor Designs Makers in Japan.
2) Newly evaluated materials important for high burn-up application
Er isotopes are newly supplied in JENDL-3.3, because of the importance as burnable poisonsin LWR in high burn-up applications.
3) Adoption of isotope evaluation policy
From this JENDL3.3, isotope evaluation policy is adopted completely, abandoning long used
element evaluation policy adopted up to JENDL-3.2. Up to the previous version, naturalelement data was usually prepared for a natural element material(i.e., isotopes data are
aggregated in one material), in parallel with this natural data we devised also isotope data insome case. In particular cases, inconsistency between natural and isotope data were alive. So
as to solve this inconsistency among data we have claimed that for transport calculations in
nuclear reactors, natural elements data are solely recommended to use and for dosimetry or
activation applications, data given by isotopic evaluations are recommended. But there75

happened miss use so much. Therefore we changed the policy. This change resulted in quality
up in data expressions compared with natural evaluations.
4) Enrichment of secondary gamma-ray production data
Secondary gamma-ray production data are newly incorporated for many nuclides needed in
Fusion applications. The number of nuclides with gamma-ray production data was increased
from 66 to 114.
5) Individual Evaluationa. Heavy Mass Nuclides (Modified Cross-sections)
A simultaneous evaluation of fission cross-sections for U-233, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Pu240 and Pu-241 was made. A least squares method was applied to selected absolute andrelative measurements on the fission cross sections. Covariance matrices of the experimental
data were constructed from the uncertainty information reported in the original references ofeach measurement.
b. Medium Mass Nuclides (Modified Cross-sections)Na, Ti, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Nb, W isotopes are revised based on the latest high resolution
measurements. As to Er-162,164,166,167,168,170isotopes, complete new evaluation are madereflecting newly obtained capture data measured by TIT(Tokyo Institute of Technology).
6) Benchmark Test
*URXSFRQVWDQWVRU0&130930RQWH&DUOROLEUDULHVRI-(1'/ZHUHJHQHUDWHGDQG
used in the benchmark test. A vast benchmark tests were made for shielding performances as well
as reactor physics performances in LWR, FBR and Intermediate energy reactors. Criticality
calculations showed very good performances and got superior results than JENDL 3.2.
The JENDL-3.3 was released on 10th May 2002 after a long review of vast range of benchmark
tests suitable for the reevaluated nuclides.
JENDL-4
Five year project of JENDL-4 is going to start in 2003. Prior to the start of JENDL-4 project,an adhoc group for making the road map of JENDL-4 development was set up at March 2002 in
JNDC. After one year discussions among nuclear data evaluators, users from various fields
especially in advanced/innovative reactors, astrophysics group, BNCT(Boron neutron capture
therapy ) medical application etc, a group report will be opened in the next month. We present anoutline here but this is not a final one, rather tentative one, i.e., not confirmed in the group.
We set the JENDL-4 main target as a file solving current concern on nuclear energy
development such as high burn up, MOX fuels utilization, evaluations of burn-up credit and theirsafety assessments as well as innovative/advanced reactors seeking ultimate reliability in safetywith reducing cost of fabrication. ,QWKHVFRSHZHDOVRLQFOXGHGPHGLFDORUIXQGDPHQWDOVFLHQWLILF
applications such as BNCT, medical use of accelerators, and elemental synthesis in astrophysics.
In JENDL-4, we set our goal as a supply of whole product not only JENDL-4 itself but also
application libraries such as point Monte Carlo library (MVP/MCNP) library and/or groupconstants library produced from JENDL-4.
Contents will be enriched in the quality for actinide and FP nuclides, in the numbers forcovariance data, fission product yields including prompt fission reactions, secondary gamma
production data, charged particle spectra, the last one is especially required for the calculation ofmaterial damage.
Maximum energy of the file will be the same as the current one, i.e., 20 MeV. In ADS
applications some materials require higher energy, only such materials will be extended up tosome value of several tens MeV. Charged particle induced reactions will also be included evenin limited numbers due to the requests from nuclear fusion or medical accelerator applications.
Adopted Format will be ENDF/B-7.
2. JENDL Special Purpose Files
The following special purpose files other than JENDL-3.3 general purpose file are being76

developed in Japan. Their status is given below.

JENDL Fusion File
The latest version of JENDL Fusion File (JFF) was released in 1999 to provide precise doubledifferential neutron and charged particle emission data by using MF6 representation of the ENDF6 format. The evaluation was made for the data of H, D, 6,7Li, 9Be, 12C, 14N, 16O, 19F, 27Al, Si,
Ca, Ti, 51V, Cr, 55Mn, Fe, 59Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, 75As, Zr, 93Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, W, Pb and 209Bi. For
H, D, Li, N and O, the data of JENDL-3.2 are directly adopted. The revision works for the
nuclides excepting the light mass ones have been performed by the SINCROS-II code system
which consists of GNASH, DWUCK, CASTHY and several auxiliary programs. Those results
were examined by comparing with DDX measured at Tohoku and Osaka Universities. For thedata of light mass nuclei, individual evaluation has been done. A lot of nuclides were adopted as
FENDL-2 from this file. Formal evaluation paper was published as “Chiba S., Fukahori T.,
Shibata K. et. al.: JENDL Fusion File 99, J. Nucl. Sci. Technol., 39,187 (2002)”.

JENDL Actinide File
This file will provide the data of main and minor actinides about 90 nuclei(Tl to ES) morethan 1 day half life from 10-5 eV to 20 MeV in energy. The revision work of major and minor
actinides has been made and their results were reflected in JENDL-3.3. The revision work forminor actinides not reflected in JENDL-3.3 will be continued in the coming several years. The
results of the reevaluation will be stored in JENDL Actinide File.

thoroughly with other evaluated data and experimental data for the preparation of the JENDL
Actinide File. The comparison was made for 32 nuclides of Th-227, 228, 229, 230, 233, 234, Pa231, 232, 233, U-232, 234, 236, 237, Np-236, 237, 238, Pu-236, 237, 238, 242, 244, Am-241,242, 242m, 243, Cm-242 ,243, 244, 245, 246, 247, 248. Figures of compared cross sections andtables of cross sections at 0.0253 eV and resonance integrals are available in the publication of
JAERI-Data/Code 2002-025: T. Nakagawa and O.Iwamoto,”Comparison of Fission and Capture
Cross Sections of Minor Actinides”.
Since 1994, International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) project for Measurements
and Evaluation of miner actinide nuclei has been started at Institute of Physics and PowerEngineering (IPPE, Obninsk Russia, #304.), V.I. Khlopin Radium Institute (KRI, St.Petersburg
Russia, #183.) and Radiation Physics and Chemistry Problem Institute (RPCPI, Minsk Belarus,#b-03). After those the forth project started to measure fission cross-sections of minor actinides
in medium energy range, i.e.,1 to 200 MeV by Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI
St.Petersburg, #609.) for the coverage of JENDL High Energy File Project. Another project of
actinide nuclear data evaluation for Th cycle started April 2000 (RPCPI, Minsk Belarus, #B-404).
Summary record about ISTC is given in Appendix. A.

JENDL Dosimetry FileThe working group on Dosimetry cross sections in JNDC has been published a new file
JENDL Dosimetry File 99 and the WG was dissolved. Cross section data of previous version ,JENDL Dosimetry File 91, were revised for 33 materials and their covariance matrices were77

replaced completely with new ones. Integral tests were also made. The file was released in FY99
and the data were also released with a CD-ROM, which is freely available through NDC/JAERI.
Contents are 67 various reactions with point-wise and 671 group structures averaged data. An
official evaluation report was published as “Kobayashi K., Iguchi T., Iwasaki S., at. al.: JENDL
Dosimetry File 99 (JENDL/D-99), JAERI-1344 (2001)”.

JENDL Activation Cross Section File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL Activation Cross Section File was completed
and released in March 1996 as JENDL-A96. This first version stores the data for 233 nuclei and
1246 reactions. Final report is under preparation. Revision of the files is foreseen near future
considering the feedback information from the ad hoc group for threshold reaction evaluation
working group in JNDC.

JENDL Alpha-n Data File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL Alpha-n Data File has been progressed by
Charged Particle Nuclear Data Working Group. This file is requested from Shielding Group
and/or Nuclear Criticality Safety Group especially for the applications of spent fuel transportations
and stockades or reprocessing plant design. Neutron behaviors are very important for the treatmentof spent fuels due to the neutrons are born from alpha emitters of minor/major actinides converted
from major actinides of fuels. Total of 32 nuclides for Li-6, 7, Be-9, B-10, 11, C-12, 13, N-14, 15,
O-17, 18, F-19, Na-23, Al-27, Si-28, 29, 30, Cr-50, 52, 53, 54, Fe-54, 56, 57, 58, Ni-58, 60,
61,62,64, Cu-63, 65.will be stored. UP to now except Si, isotopes evaluation is finished. A partial
file was released in Feb. 2003 containing 13 nuclides from Li-6 to Na-23 out of above described
32
nuclides.

JENDL FP Decay Data File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL FP Decay Data File has been completed bysub-group in Decay Heat Evaluation Working Group of JNDC. This file is a succession of former
JNDC Decay Data Library compiled in private JNDC format. The newly released file is compiled
in ENDF-6 Format. The file contains decay data for 1229 FP nuclides consisting of 142 stable and1087 unstable nuclides. For each nuclides following data are given; decay modes, their Q values
and branching ratios, average decay energy values of beta-rays, gamma-rays and alpha-particles
and their spectral data. This file is inevitable for the decay heat calculations for the power reactors.
This file was released in FY2000 and named as JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000. Official
evaluation report was published as “Katakura J., et al. :JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000, JAERI1343 (2001)”.

JENDL High Energy Files
The evaluation of data for high-energy neutrons and protons has been initiated in JNDC. They
will make data files for neutrons up to 50 MeV and for neutrons and protons up to 3 GeV.
The former files will be used for the IFMIF project that JAERI participates. The evaluationof neutron data up to 50 MeV has been made for almost all necessary nuclides. The evaluation
results for neutron are being reviewed. After review, the data will be combined with JENDL-3.3

78below 20 MeV. The file release will be envisaged in FY2003.
The latter files will be used for design of accelerators, transmutation systems of high-level
waste, medical applications and so on. Stored nuclides are listed in Table-1. Among the list,
evaluations for first and second categories were already finished for neutron and proton induced
reactions up to 3 GeV. A test data file is compiled and benchmark test is in progress. The filerelease will be envisaged after the benchmark test, we expect distribution starts within FY2003
for first priority nuclides.

JENDL PKA/KERMA File
This file stores the spectra of primary knock-on atoms (PKA) and KERMA factors. The data
to be stored are created from the data files(JENDL High Energy File) up to 50 MeV made for the
IFMIF project. A couple of processing codes to create the file from evaluated nuclear data file,by using the effective single particle emission approximation, have been developed and tested. The
test compilation has been performed from JENDL Fusion File for the 69 isotope data except lightmass nuclei below 20 MeV. The file release will be made in FY2003.

JENDL Photonuclear Data File
The evaluation has been finished for 46 isotopes; 2D, 12C, 14N, 16O, 23Na, 24,25,26Mg,
27Al, 28,29,30Si, 40,48Ca, 46Ti, 51V, 52Cr, 55Mn, 54,56Fe, 59Co, 58,60Ni, 63,65Cu, 90Zr,

and 235,238U in the gamma-ray energy range up to 140 MeV. Their compilation in the ENDF-6
format and the critical review are in progress. The file will be released in FY2003 also.

3. Other Activity Relating to Nuclear Data
1) ND2001: International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology
The International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology (ND2001) was
held 7-12th October 2001 at the EPOCHAL Tsukuba International Congress Center in Tsukuba,
Ibaraki, Japan. The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) sponsored and organized incollaboration with OECD Nuclear Energy Agency – Nuclear Science Committee (NEA/NSC) andAtomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) as the co-sponsors. Total of 375 scientists from
41countries and 4 international organizations participated in the conference, of which 207
participants come from abroad. Total of 375 papers were presented including 4 keynotes and 3summary talks in the 40 sessions; i.e., 50 invited talks, 116 oral and 202 poster contributed papers.
One third of the presented papers are in the topics of Nuclear Reaction Data and Evaluated data
Libraries. The other one third is devoted to the applications in energy production including ADS(accelerator driven sub-critical system) applications and Industry or Medical applications. The rest
one third is devoted for forefront of Nuclear Reaction Theory, Astrophysics, Facilities for new
century and steady progress in International Collaborations. An emphasis was laid down on theapplication of the Nuclear Data to ADS due to the increased interests in the world-wide
environmental concern on nuclear high level waste. And data applications in the Astrophysics arealso enthusiastically debated in connection with nuclear synthesis of the universe.
The proceedings was published on August 2002 as a supplement to Journal of Nuclear Scienceand Technology, a publication of Atomic Energy Society of Japan(AESJ), including all invitedand contributed papers passed through peer reviews of program committee members.

792) The 2002 Symposium on Nuclear Data
The 2002 Symposium on Nuclear Data was held at Tokai Research Establishment, Japan
Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), on 21st and 22nd of November 2002. Japanese
Nuclear Data Committee and Nuclear Data Center, JAERI organized this symposium. In the oral
sessions, presented were 17 papers on the release of JENDL3.3: Outline of JENDL3.3 and it’s
Benchmark test for LWR/FBR reactors and Shielding applications, Requests and discussions
about JENDL utilizations among Developers and Japanese Nuclear Industrial User Groups,
International session and other topics like Neutrino Physics. In the poster session, presented were
33 papers concerning experiments, evaluations, benchmark tests and software on nuclear data.
Those presented papers are compiled in the proceedings and will be published as a JAERI-conf
report having INDC (JPN)-190/U (2003) report number. Total of 133 attendees including 8
foreigners (of which 2 Asian researchers invited by the organizing committee) and 85 outside
JAERI were gathered. This year, due to VISA problems, three invited foreigners could not attend.
3) Development of Integrated Nuclear Data Utilization System for Innovative Reactors
This is a 5 year project starting 2002 to furnish up-to-date nuclear data for the users ofinnovative reactor (advance reactors such as ADS, low moderation LWR, super high burn up
reactors, etc) design very timely in the frame of Innovative Reactor Development Projects, inwhich so wide users are anticipated in Japan. This is mainly for application users representing
innovative reactors, but it also act as a very strong tool for fundamental or academic users of
nuclear data as well as students of universities.
So as to make available accurate and reliable latest nuclear data to users, we are developing
an integrated software system called CONDUCT (Consolidated Nuclear Data Utilization,
Calculation and Transfer System) functioning on the Internet. This system consists of three parts,
system control part, retrieval and plotting system part, and processing and utilization system part.
System control part manages nuclear database and application programs under this system.
Nuclear data database contains latest evaluated nuclear data such as JENDL-3.3, JEFF-3,
ENDF/B-VI and measured data from EXFOR data base. The data retrieval and plotting systemprovides the numerical data files, data tables and figures that are produced from the stored
experimental and/or evaluated nuclear data in the user friendly way according to the user’s
requests. The processing and utilization system consists of two parts: data processing and datautilization. The processing part provides the tools that create data libraries needed for reactor
application codes such as MVP,MCNP,ANISN, DOT,DORT,ORIGEN2 and so on from theevaluated nuclear data. The utilization part provides the tools that make criticality and shielding
benchmark calculations together with the tools tabulating and plotting numerical data.
This work is a part of “Fundamental R&D on Neutron Cross Sections for Innovative Reactors
Using Advanced Radiation Measurement Technology”, which is one of research tasks selectedwith competitions for “Innovative Nuclear Energy System Technology(INEST) Development
Projects” funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT).
Assigned fund for the utilization system development is about 135 million yen (1.1M$US) out of
760million yen (6.3M$US) in 5 years.

Evaluationof

Photoneutron Reaction Cross Sections Using Data Obtained in the Experiments with
Quasimonoenergetic Annihilation Photon Beams at USA Livermore and France Saclay.
The detailed system analysis of the (γ,xn), (γ,n) and (γ,2n) reaction cross section data obtainedusing quasimonoenergetic annihilation photon beems at Livermore (USA) and Saclay (France) was
carried out for 19 (for 7 of them – at first) nuclei 51V, 75As, 89Y, 90Zr, 115In, 116,117,118,120,124Sn, 127I,
133

Cs, 159Tb, 165Ho, 181Ta, 197Au, 208Pb, 232Th, 238U. It was observed that the (γ,xn) reaction crosssection data obtained at both laboratories without using neutron multiplicity sorting procedure
disagree by 10 – 15 %. Additionally it was found out that the disagreement of partial reactions (γ,n)
and (γ,2n) cross sections, obtained at both laboratories using neutron multiplicity sorting procedure
are significantly more (till 30 – 40 %) and as a rule have opposite directions. These disagreements
were interpreted as the result of difference of neutron multiplicity sorting procedures used in bothlaboratories: that is incorrect at Saclay with the result of incorrect transmission of the part of (γ,2n)reaction cross section into that of (γ,n) reaction. The special method was used to move the data into
consistence. Its idea is that definite “false” part of (γ,n) reaction cross section was recalculated andtransmitted back into that of reaction (γ,2n). For all 19 nuclei listed above the jointly corrected(γ,xn), (γ,n) and (γ,2n) reaction cross were evaluated and prepared for including into the EXFOR
nuclear reaction database (TRANS M032, ENTRY M0635).

To: ZERKIN Viktor <zerkin@iaeand.IAEA.ORG>, SCHWERER Otto <schwerer@iaeand.IAEA.ORG>
Victor and Otto,
I have written a program to produce a Dictionary 27 from the Nuclear Wallet
Cards. The atomic weight has been extracted from the Audi-Wapstra files.
Ramon is now working on a relational database for the Nuclear Wallet Cards.
It may be a good idea to put all the info we need (e.g., atomic weights into
the NWC database. That way we can interface directly to the NWC database forthe relational databases and extract the Dict. 27 from the NWC database forother users.
The Dict. 27 fields I have produced are the EXFOR code as primary key,
and includes an entry for each metastable state as in NWC.
The following fields are given:. Code as given for NSR et al. (e.g., 3Li).
. Integer equivalent of Z,A,M (zzzaaam).
. Spin and parity of ground or metastable state, given as floating point
number (e.g., +1.5).
. Natural abundance, for naturally occuring nuclides.
. Half-life, for radioactive nuclides; given in min, sec, etc., with units(e.g., 1.5 MIN). Alternately, can be given in secs, or in both
representations (Otto: what are your feelings on this?).
. Atomc weight (extracted from Audi-Wapstra files).
I am giving our needs and my code to Ramon to look at. When Victor comes we
can discuss it further.
I will also send a proposal for a new format for dictionary 27 soon.

CINDA Exchange Format Updates
I. Codes MANY and FPROD
II. Reference type * and date of update

I. Codes MANY and FPROD
Since there may be some lines left in the CINDA database containing the codes FPROD and
MANY, these must be translated to the CINDA2001 format.
I suggest for MANY we use a Z of 999 (or some other unlikely atomic number), and MNY in the
A field.
For FPROD, we can either also a Z of 999 with LFP in the A field, or use the Z of the nuclide
from which the lumped fission products were generated.
The codes 999-*-LFP (or 92-U-LFP) and 999-*-MNY would be added to the compounds andmixtures dictionary.
As a corollary to this: When I checked the area 1 entries for FPROD, most of the experimental
and many of the other lines were for measurements on many fission products and not99measurements on lumped fission products. So I will have only a few lines to be translated to the
new format.

II. Reference type * and date of update
I am proposing a slight modification to the CINDA2001 exchange format in order toaccomplish adding 2 new fields on a 132-character record. The solution would involve
reducing the reaction field from 15 to 12 characters (I looks as if that would be enoughwith the new simplified codes, and shifting the remaining fields of the present format tothe left.
Proposal 1) Include the date of last update. This would be added in columns 125-132
as an 8-digit integer.
Proposal 2) As an alternate proposal for using the code * for CINDA and not for
EXFOR, convert the * code in the reference type field to either C or J, as appropriate
to the code given in the reference field, and add the abstract code * to column 124.
To further elaborate on this second proposal and to have the reference code
correspond to the appropriate dictionary, I suggest the following.
• Split Dictionary 7 (Book and Conference Codes) into 2 separate dictionaries.
(I’m not sure why they were originally put together as one in any case.
• Have the reference flag always correspond to a given dictionary on a one to one
basis.
• Introduce Col. 124 flags to differentiate the content. To accomplish this, I suggest
the addition of the Content flags * (abstract), C (conference papers), P (progress
report) or S (preprint) to be used as given in the following table.

CINDA entries for FPROD and MANY

There currently exist in CINDA many entries for FPROD and MANY (in the nuclide field). The
code MANY should not have been used for experimental work, but is meant for systematic
trends, which implies theoretical calculations. The code FPROD is meant to be used for targets
that contain lumped fission products. I propose that the four neutron centers agree to do thefollowing before the next NRDC meeting in June.
For the entries under MANY, all experimental entries should be redone using the individualisotopes. For FPROD, there are almost no entries for experimental works. We should decide
what to do about those few on a one by one basis.
For those MANY and FROD that are theoretical, reviews, etc., NSR should be checked to see if
the entry is there. If the entry is in NSR, the CINDA entry should be deleted. If the entry is not in
NSR, notify me and I will work with Dave Winchell to create an NSR entry.
I will send files containing the affected entries to all center CINDA representatives, so they may
see the scope of the effort for their center.

Report codes

During his conversion of the old CINDA file into the new CINDA 2001 format, Viktor
Zerkin has produced a list of all reference codes found in CINDA and compared them tothe EXFOR dictionaries. I have looked into all those report codes, which had nocorresponding EXFOR codes. The results are presented here.
1) Restriction of code length in CINDA 2001
An addition to Memo CP-D/246: the need to insert a blank before the report number if
the code is shorter than 4 characters, can be dropped (obviously also blanks required forjournal codes before the volume number). Also, longer codes can be accepted (cf. item
(7) below: “…. simple corrections”).
2) Proposal for presentation of code in EXFOR Dictionary 6
As a requirement of coding rules, some of the codes in EXFOR dictionary 6 are so
different from the codes printed on the cover of reports, that I propose to add in all suchcases (not just a few like CEC- or INR-) the actual code on the cover in the text of the
expansion or somewhere thereafter. This should avoid a number of coding errors (see parton coding errors in (6) and (7) below) by compilers or related problems. Example:
EXFOR: PNR/SETR-R-25
code on cover: PNR/SETR
on 2 lines
R.0253) New codes (confirmed) for inclusion in EXFOR Dictionary 6
The “confirmed” codes, I have either found on actual reports or in INIS (in a retrieval or
the book IAEA-INIS-6: the INIS authority list for “report number prefixes”).
AES-

2SWDAE

Aktiebolaget Atomenergi, Studsvik, reports

BNWL-TR-(same expansion as BNWL-)

CEA-CONF-

2FR FR

Commissariat a L’Energie Atomique (NOTE: notconfined to a lab, includes publications by
BRC,CEL,CAD,GRE,SAC,…)

GSI-J-2GERGSI(same expansion as GSI-)KAERI/GP-

3KORKAE Korean Atomic Research Institute reports

JINR-D6JINR-E4JINR-P12JINR-P14(same as other JINR- reports)

OKTAV-C-

2JPNOSA(same expansion as OKTAV-A-) Note: why not use fullname OKTAVIAN-? (see comment (1) above)103

PNR/SETR-

2FR CAD(same expansion as PNR/SETR-R-) code on report covere.g.: PNR/SETR 65.010, to be coded as PNR/SETR-6510;

RD/B/N-

2UK CEG(same expansion as RD/B/M-)

TIB/FICS-

2ITYITY

ENEA Dipmt. Tecnologie Intersettorali di Base/Div.
FIsica e Calcolo Scientifico reports; code on cover:
TIB/FICS (83) 4(“ENEA” expanded: Comitato Nazionale Ricerca e
Sviluppo Energia Nucleare e Energia Alternativa)

4) New codes (unconfirmed) for possible inclusion in EXFOR Dictionary 6
These codes, found in CINDA, I could not confirm via the sources mentioned above.
They will have to be checked and confirmed by the responsible center, as well as the
proposed labcode and expansion, which are only my assumptions.
AD-A-

1USADOD origin: 1 entry in CINDA coded as AD-A009563, with
lab=4CCPLEB, comment indicates translation from book
LEB; INIS-6: “Defense Documentation Center,
Alexandria, VA, USA, (assigned to unclassified
documents …)”.

AE-RFT-

2SWDAE

AERE-NP/PR-

2 entries, both with lab 2UK ALD; code not found anywhere; could be
miss-spelt, or confused with AERE- PR/NP- or AERE-NP/R-: to bechecked.

ANL-AJD-

1USAANL probably same as ANL-

FOA4-D-

2SWDFOA probably same as FOA4-A- and FOA4-C-

GA-B-?1USAGA suggests same as GA- (GA-A- and GA-C- found in INIS6, but not GA-B-), but lab in CINDA entry is
1CANCRC???

MON-C-

1USAUSA probably expansion as MON-N-;

UNC-PH/M-

1USAUNC found (libraries, INIS-6) only code UNC-, probably same.

(all entries have lab=2SWDAE, probably expansion as
AE-)5) Proposed or possible corrections for EXFOR Dictionary 6
AFWL-TDR-

does not occur in CINDA nor in EXFOR, but several entries in bothwith code AFWL-TR-; neither code could be confirmed; to bechecked by NNDC (see EXFOR# 10022 and 12069).

AWRE-CNR/PR change to AWRE-CNR/PR- (add dash at end of code);
CEA-, CEA-N-, CEA-R-: according to INIS-6, published by different CEA labs (as item
(3) above: CEA-CONF-) => propose to change lab to 2FR FR (orintroduce code for CEA).
IPNO-THchange to IPNO-TH- (add dash at end of code);

NIIAR-P1-

needs clarification (see also item (6) below): entry EXFOR40469
contains NIIAR-P1-335, the corresponding CINDA entry contains
104

NIIAR-P-335 (possibly because of limited space); INIS sources
contain only NIIAR-P-; conclusion: NIIAR may have part -P1,-P2,
etc. similar to JINR-, which may have been partially omitted; has tobe checked and clarified by CJD.
6) Obvious coding errors in CINDA
Several more such errors I could correct easily without checking the original reference.
EANDC(U)76U175

CINDA entry for Mo-97 RES, lab=2FR SAC: check and correct;

INDC(EUR)14374

this number does not exist (several entries);

NEANDC(E)-GE/R

CINDA entry for U-238 TOT 2ZZZGEL: check and correct;

NIIAR-

several ways of coding that are inconsistent and partially do notconform with coding rules; some have to be corrected:
NIIAR-P-335
NIIAR-P22(356)
NIIAR-1(360)
NIIAR-2(361)
NIIAR-P-5,
NIIAR-52

The different ways of coding NIIAR- reports support my proposal to include in the
EXFOR dictionary, in some doubtful cases, the codes printed on the report cover.
7) Coding errors in CINDA requiring simple corrections
The following coding errors can easily be identified and corrected by a small computer
program. In particular could corrections be implemented during conversion to CINDA
2001, also because for some of the errors, the correct coding would exceed the field
length foreseen in the old system, and hence cannot be corrected there. In most cases
listed below, “no” stands for report number and “yy” for year.

From: F.E. Chukreev
Subject: Preliminary Draft of Draft
Fundamental particles in EXFOR.
The reactions of fundamental particles, specially the reactions where fundamental
particles transform from one type to another, request other dictionaries, than nuclear reactions
at low energies.
Main difference is new conservation laws.
If check codes in usual EXFOR checks conservation laws for electric and barion
charges, high energy physics uses conservation laws for lepton charge, stranges, beauty andanother quantum numbers.
Only gauge bosons could be included in our 27-th dictionary.
Possible codes for the bosons :Photon0-G-01
1-WP-0-1-WN-00-ZZ-0W+ bosonW- bosonZ -boson

All another fundamental particles (leptons and adrons) have lepton charges (numbers)
and quarks compositions.
As leptons can not transform to adrons and adrons can transform to leptons in weakinteraction processes only, but the weak interaction is not subject of EXFOR, two separate
dictionaries for leptons and adrons are needed. The dictionaries must include (except separatecases) the particles, which are stable for strong decay, because only the particles can bedetected directly.
Possible structure of lepton dictionary is presented.

First column – possible code, third column – electric charge, -electronic lepton charge,mounic lepton charge, tauon lepton charge.
As you can see, each lepton can be presented as four components vector. If two leptons with
vectors L1and L2 will produce some leptons with Lk Ll …Lm conservation law request:
L1 +L2 = Lk +Ll +……+Lm .
The lepton codes must be used in all subfields of the reaction. As I understand obviousness
will be lost. Sorry, but high energy community likes Greek symbols with additional symbols
sub- and underline.
One examples lepton reactions
Reaction µ+ +µ- Åe+ + e- will be coded as
PM(NM,NE)PE
Similar conservation laws act for adron interaction too. But adron vector contains six
components.
To distinguish adrons and leptons I would like to propose to use 3-symbols codes formesons (quark + antiquark) and 4-symbols for barions (3 quark)113

Proposed dictionary 30 code TCC

Reference:

Memos CP-A/139, CP-A/123

The dictionary 30 (Process) code TCC - Total charge changing
was proposed in memo CP-A/123 in April 2002. Decision was postponed at the 2002 Paris
NRDC meeting for the working group on high energy data in EXFOR to look into the matter.
While several memos relevant to high energy data were exchanged (all on elementary particle
coding), no new information concerning total charge changing was distributed. However, theproposal was renewed in memo CP-A/139.
Adding a new code to the "Process" dictionary (REACTION SF3) is not trivial - these arecodes like TOT (total), F (fission), EL (elastic) etc. which are all self-explanatory. Therefore
we need more information.
- What is the definition of the Total charge changing cross section? (Lexfor entry)- A coding example is needed. Is there a reaction product to be coded, either obligatory or
optional? Any independent variables besides EN?
- In memo CP-A/123, the article ZP/A,352,69,1995 is mentioned as example. How would thisbe coded in EXFOR? (E.g., Tables 1 and 2)- This article mentions a second article by the same authors measuring "partial chargechanging cross sections". How will this be coded?
- Is the abbreviation TCC known well enough to be understood by the users? The present SF3
codes do not need any explanation or looking up the dictionary.

Total spin transfer

Recently we received experimental data of “total spin transfer” (A.Tamii et al., Phys. Lett.
B459 (1999) 61, T.Kawabata et al., Phys.Rev. C65 (2002) 064316). This quantity is defined
as follows:= {3-(DSS+DNN+DLL)}/4=(SSS+SNN+SLL)/2,
where Dii (ii=SS, NN, LL) are “spin-rotation-deporalization parameters”, and Sii = (1-Dii)/2(ii=SS, NN and LL) is spin-flip probability for the i -direction, respectively.
Total spin transfer is used as an index to distinguish spin-flip ( S=1) and non-spin-flip( S=0) excitation. §1 (0) for S=1(0) is regarded as a good approximation at forward angles
of outgoing particle. At 0 degree, especially, this relation is exactly correct due to the spatial
symmetry. In this sense, total spin transfer is similar to “spin-flip probability” SNN, for which
also SNN §0 for S=0. However, SNN takes various values in S=1 excitations depending on
the J . Therefore is considered as a better index than SNN.
A rule of “DSS+DNN+DLL =3(-1) for S=0(1)” had been known in the measurements of(p,n) scattering. H.Sakai pointed out that this rule is effective to distinguish ∆S=1 and 0
excitations and introduced in 1999 (H.Sakai, Nucl. Phys. A654 (1999) 731c). The validityof as an index of S=0(1) is theoretically confirmed (T.Suzuki, Prog. Theor. Phys. 103(2000) 859). Due to the recent progress of experimental technique (high luminosity beam,
reliable measurement of forward scattered particle), DSS and DLL are widely measured as well
as DNN , and consequently is recognized as an experimental observable. We propose somecodes for total spin transfer :Dictionary 24 (Modifiers)

Reaction Field Particle considered (SF7)

For complex quantities for which, e.g., the secondary energy given is for the relative motion
between two particles, or the angle is given for the center-of-mass of two particles, a new way
is needed to specify the particles considered. Consider for example data set E1748 (TRANS
E021). The triple differential cross section is given for the angle of the outgoing tritons andalphas and the energy for the relative motion between the triton and the alpha. (Many othersimilar cases have been reported).
I propose that we introduce the separator dash (-) to indicate the correlated particles. For theabove case, the quantity would be coded as: (…………..DA/DA/DE,A/T/A-T)
This might require some retrofitting of previously transmitted entries, but I am willing to look
into and report on those, if this proposal is accepted. It would also require updating any codesthat parse the REACTION string.

Reference: Memo CP-E/017, items 4 and 5
1) I support the proposal to introduce the dictionary 18 code PRJFS (rather than PRJFS2)
since we still have the restriction of 5 characters for this dictionary.
2) (See also CP-C/315 and CP-D/350) While I agree with the idea of coding correlatedparticles in REACTION SF7, it occurred to me that at the 2002 Paris NNDC meeting(Conclusion C20) we allowed nuclide codes in SF7. This means, we might end up with
SF7 containing….,DA/DA/DE,N/A/4-BE-9-3-LI-7
which is rather confusing. Therefore I propose to use another separator for the correlatedparticles, e.g. a plus sign:….,DA/DA/DE,N/A/4-BE-9+3-LI-7

Subject: Proposed new coding for REACTION SF7 (Particle considered)
Reference: Memo CP-C/315 (31 January 2003)

I agree with the proposal in CP-C/315. However, some additional clarifications and additions(including LEXFOR) will be required, in particular:
When referring to secondary energies:
The correlated particles need to be given also under EN-SEC. In the example of CP-C/315,
this would be
EN-SEC (E,A-T)
When referring to angles of secondary particles:
Will this new formalism also apply to the existing data on angular correlations and/or
correlated particle pairs (as given in LEXFOR under "Correlations")? Even if the answer isnegative, LEXFOR should explain where this new formalism is to be used, and where it isn’t.
This update should go together with the clarification requested earlier for the definitions andcoding rules for angular correlations (pending Action A32 of the 2002 NRDC Meeting), i.e.
definition of angular correlation vs. angular distribution of correlated particle pairs, units to be
used, number of angles to be given).

Memo CP-E/017
February 3, 2003
Distribution
OTUKA Naohiko and KAT Kiyoshi
Reply to CP-C/313, 314, 315 and
NNDC’s comments on PRELIM.E021, CP-E/013, 016
thank you very much for Vicki’s carefully checking and giving useful comments andsuggestions to help our compilations of PRELIM.E021. The following is reply for them:

Date:
To:
From:
Subject:

1. Longitudinal momentum LP (CP-C/313)
We are satisfied with Vicki’s proposals CP-C/313 1)-3).
2. Elementary particle production cross sections (PRELIM.E021.E1706, E1711, CPC/314)
The preliminary E021 includes elementary particle production cross sections for anti-proton(in E1706) and positive kaon (in E1717). CP-C/314 proposes the following compilation for
them:
REACTION (6-C-0(D,X)1-AP-1,,DA/DP)
E170600600003
REACTION (6-C-0(KN,X)0-KP-0,,DA/DP)
E171700200003
The expression for anti-proton looks good, while we prefer to use 1-KP-0, where we suggest
Z would be the absolute value of electric charge. We also propose that A denotes absolutevalue of baryon number (this with the example of CP-C/314). We hope to have morediscussion for K+. We withdraw E1717 from final TRANS.E021 and wait a conclusion ofHigh Energy Working Group).
3. Angular range codes: ANG1-MIN, ANG1-MAX... (PRELIM.E021.E1711, CP-E/013)
Vicki proposed to treat these angular ranges as additional information on 16 December. In
the present paper (W.Q.Shen et al., Phys.Rev.C56(1997)1996, compiled as E1711 in
PRELIM.E021),
1) Two polar angular ranges for two protons, 10 deg< <160 deg, would rise from thelimitation of measurement technique, which cannot cover most forward and backward
direction;2) The authors would not expect that this theta range affects current experimental azimuthal
angular correlations.
So we conclude that these polar angular ranges can be treated as additional information. We
also withdraw CP-E/013 which proposed new codes ANG1-MIN, ANG1-MAX, ANG2-MIN
and ANG2-MAX.
4. Beam from projectile fragment separator: PRJFS (PRELIM.E021.E1721, CP-E/016)
In CP-E/016, we proposed new codes PRJFS (Secondary beam from projectile fragment124

separator) which is used in E1721 of PRELIM.E021. Vicki’s counterproposal is PRJFS2. The
last 2 probably expresses “secondary”. It seems to be good. But now the length of code inDict.18 (Facility) is limited to be less than 5. So now I propose to use PRJFS again if there isno other proposal.
5. Reaction field particle considered (PRELIM.E021.E1748)
We support Vicki’s proposal for the expression of correlated particles in SF7. The following
is a coding example for PRELIM.E021.E1748.020 using the proposal:(DA/DA/DE,A/T/A-T or DA/DA/DE,T/A/T-A ?)SUBENT

Longitudinal Momentum

I had proposed in Memo CP-C/290 to use the code “LON,DA/DP,,IPA”, where LON stoodfor longitudinal secondary linear momentum. N. Otuka of the JCPRDG points out that thedefinition of LON in Dictionary 31 is longitudinal spins, and would not apply here formomentum. He also questions whether this is a correct use of the branch field, and whether
the use MOM-SEC is correct.
I can see that a problem might arise if a polarization quantity were given as a function of
longitudinal momentum; this is a possibility in the future.
I make the following proposals.
1) Add the quantity LP to Dict. 31 for longitudinal momentum. (In future, TP can be added fortransverse momentum, if required).
2) The longitudinal momentum is a component of the total linear momentum and, therefore, it
can be argued that the use of SF5 is correct.
3) MOM-SEC is defined as secondary linear momentum, and its’ use for the longitudinalcomponent is correct.
Changes for Dictionary 36 (Quantities): replace LON with LP.

I will take care of correcting the entry already transmitted (C0820).

Differential cross section with respect to longitudinal momentum

We are compiling two experiments in which fragment longitudinal momentum
distributions are measured from the breakup of secondary beam provided by RIKEN Projectile
Fragment Separator - RIPS - (R. Kanungo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 (2002) 142502 and T.
Suzuki et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 (2002) 012501). Fragments 15B, 22O and 21O coming fromBe(17B,15B)X, C(23O,22O)X, and C(23O,21O)X are detected. In EXFOR, these detectedfragments are treated as residual nuclei. We propose the following code for longitudinal
momentum distribution for residual nuclei:
Dictionary 36 (Quantities)
LP,DP,RSD
DP
Differential cross section with respect to longitudinal secondary
momentum
Also we need to add some flags for unstable nuclei used as beam and detected as outgoing
fragments:

can be used when parameter (SF6) contains the linear momentum correlation MCO (EXFOR
System Manual (April, 2001) 7.10). We propose that the parameter DP (differential withlinear momentum of out going particles) also allows the use of family L.
(Now CHEX often gives error message like** Illegal independent variable

Partial cs for production of specified number of product particles
Attached: CP-C/318, CP-D/359
Subentry A0361.002 compiles partial cross sections for the production of a specifies numberof heavy product particles from the reaction U-238 nicident on Au-197 at 3850 MeV.
After some discussion, NNDC and NDS agree on proposing the following coding:(79-AU-197(92-U-238,X)NPART,NUM,SIG,FF)(in units MB or equivalent), with PART-OUT as independent variable.
NPART replaces the reaction product in SF4 (cannot be blank if SF3 = X) and links the
REACTION codes to the independent variable PART-OUT. NUM in SF5 indicates that this isa partial cross section (for each of the values of PART-OUT; their sum may be equal the total
cross section). SF7 (in this case FF) may be used to define particles considered.

I like the addition of NUM in SF5. However, I prefer the more generic code for SF4; the exact
particle can be specified in SF7 as is now the practice, e.g., ……)NPART,NUM,SIG,HF.
Otherwise we will eventually need more codes for SF4 (LFRAG, LCP, HCP).

Partial cross section for production of specified number of productparticles

Reference:

Subentry A0361.002 (TRANS A054) and related comments

In this work, partial cross sections for the production of a specified number of heavy productparticles from the reaction U-238 incident on Au-197 at 3570 MeV are measured.
In subentry A0361.002 (on TRANS A054) this is coded as(1)(79-AU-197(92-U-238,F),,SIG/DN,FF)

with PART-OUT as independent variable and DATA in units MB/PRT.
In V. McLane’s comment on TRANS A054 it is mentioned that
SIG/DN is not appropriate because DN stands for "differential with respect to number ofoutgoing neutrons" while here all (heavy) product particles are included, andSF3 = F (fission) is not appropriate because according to the publication, not only
fission is included,
and a new way of coding was proposed:(2)(79-AU-197(92-U-238,X)NPART,,SIG)(to be given in units MB), introducing a new code NPART for SF4.
(Note that there is no dictionary for SF4. Like ELEM and MASS, such special codes need to be
hard-wired into all relevant programs.)
While I agree that the original coding needs to be replaced by something new, I am not happy
with using the simple quantity (REACTION SF5-8),SIG(dictionary 36 entry for a straightforward cross section)
because we have here a partial cross section with an additional independent variable (PARTOUT). Since the checking programs check the consistency of quantities, variables and units
based on dictionary 36 (which does not include SF4), I prefer a solution with a new code not
only in SF4 but also in SF5 and/or SF6, to enable proper checking. For example:

132

(3)

(79-AU-197(92-U-238,X)HFRAG,NUM,SIG)

NUM and NUM,SIG, respectively, would be added to dictionaries 31 and 36 as"partial cross section for production of specified number of product particles".
Also, I propose to replace NPART by HFRAG (for heavy fragment) to indicate that these are
not e.g. neutrons or protons which would be coded with a proper nuclide code.
In any case, any new special code for SF4 (such as NPART or HFRAG) will have to be added
to the EXFOR Systems Manual (Chapter 7 on REACTION, Section on Reaction Product).

There might be still other, perhaps better ways of coding such data. Please give your feedback.

Subject: Modify the definition SIG/DN and DN in dictionaries 36 and 32

We are suggest to change the definition of ‘SIG/DN’ and ‘DN’ in dic.36 and 32.

SIG/DNDN(cs differential by number of outgoing particles)(differential with number of outgoing particles)

It will permit to compile a lot of paper without input new codes in dic.36 and 32,
which has been proposed for A0361 ( See action 35, meeting 2002) and O0939 ( see CPD/359) and lot of other.
On last Paris meeting after discussion of WP12 , Action 35 was accepted where
SIG/DN code has been recommended to use for data from Entry o0939.
Therefore, we do not see needed to input new codes NPART etc ( See Memo-CPD/359) for SF4, if the definition code DN will be modified.

Actually in subentry 40535002 this is only used in denominator of a ratio; measured was ratioof neutron spectrum to calculated Maxwellian distribution.
Such data cannot be coded with MXW is SF8 because this means that the data were measured
for an INCIDENT Maxwellian spectrum.
Since the denominator of the measured ratio is a calculated quantity which is a function of
single number (spectrum temperature), it should not be coded as an explicit ratio but as single
REACTION with a new modifier in SF8.
I propose to use MXD with the definition in Dictionary 34:
MXD = spectrum relative to Maxwellian distribution of given temperature

To be added to Dictionary 36:
PR,DE,N,MXD

Prompt neutron spectrum relative to Maxwellian distr. of given
temperature

2) ,DE/TMP,N and PR,DE/TMP,N "Maxwell distribution of neutrons"
Similar to the above, except that the spectrum temperature is now the DATA coded under
REACTION rather than a separate parameter.
I think it needs a new code for SF6, which would be used similarly as AKE and the newly
proposed (CP-D/355) KEP (Most probable kinetic energy).
Therefore I propose to add to Dictionary 32:
KEM

Temperature of Maxwellian distribution of outgoing particles

The dictionary 36 entries replacing those of 4C-4/134 and 138 would be,KEM,N
PR,KEM,N

Temperature of Maxwellian distribution of outgoing neutrons
Temperature of Maxwellian distribution of prompt neutrons

The REACTION of subentry 40472.002 would then be coded(98-CF-252(0,F),PR,KEM,N)

1) Dictionary 24: re MASS-RATIO
2) Dictionaries 32, 36: New code KEP1) I assume that the DATA heading keyword
MASS-RATIO Ratio of Atomic Masses of Fission Fragments
Implicitly means: “Ratio of Atomic Masses of Binary Fission Fragments”, as I intend to use it
for ternary alpha particle data given as function of the (coincident) binary fragment mass ratio,(where the binary fragments are not coded in the reaction string).
I propose to add "Binary" to the explanation in dictionary 24.

2) I propose a new code for Reaction SF6, Dictionary 32:
KEP

Most probable kinetic energy of outgoing particle

analogous to AKE, AP and ZP. In the same entry EXFOR30916 mentioned above, mostprobable kinetic energy values are given for ternary alpha particles (in addition to averagekinetic energy).
The use (Dictionary 36) would be the same as for AKE. In particular, the following dictionary
36 quantities are proposed for the present case:,KEP,A
PRE,KEP,A
TER,KEP,A

Most probable kinetic energy of alphas
Most probable kinetic energy of pre-neutron emission alphas
Most probable kinetic energy of alphas from ternary fission

Subject: Proposed modified format for DECAY-MON: add heading fieldIf more than one monitor is given, in many cases pointers cannot be used because their use isrestricted to multiple reactions, vector common data and BIB/BIB links (which is sometimes
overlooked). Therefore headings MONIT1, MONIT2, etc. must be used often. To link theseheadings to the appropriate MONIT and MONIT-REF codes, these headings are included as
optional fields in the MONIT and MONIT-REF codes, but this is not yet possible for
DECAY-MON.
Following a suggestion by V. McLane (in a comment on PRELIM.3112), I propose to include
this optional heading field also for DECAY-MON in the same way as for MONIT-REF.
The format of DECAY-MON will then be((heading)nuclide,half-life,radiation)
Example:DECAY-MON ((MONIT1)21-SC-46-G,83.81D,DG,889.3,0.999840,
DG,1120.5,0.99870)((MONIT2)21-SC-47,3.345D,DG,159.4,0.683)
Note that with this, the formats of DECAY-MON and DECAY-DATA are different insofar as
DECAY-DATA will not have this new heading field but has (as an option) the "decay-flag"
field in the same position.
If agreed, the EXFOR Manual section on DECAY-MON should be updated accordingly.

Use of branch codes ‘DIS’ and ‘CON’

According to the comments received from S. Maev on preliminary TRANS 1314, there seems
to be a misunderstanding of the use of the branch codes DIS and CON.
My understanding is that the code DIS is to be used for a range of discrete gamma energies in
the continuum region that excludes continuum gammas. It is not useful to use it when adiscrete gamma energy is given, or for a gamma energy range below the continuum region. I
will not agree to its use in these cases.
The branch field is used to separate different branches of a reaction. When only one of the
branches is possible, no branch code is given.
The dictionary explanation should be changed to read similar to the following.
CON
DIS

For a range of continuum gammas, discrete gammas excluded.
For a range of discrete gammas, continuum gammas excluded.

Transmission data: New code for SF8 proposed

At present, transmission data are coded in EXFOR(N,TOT),,SIG,,RAWwith free text explanation "transmission" and units NO-DIM.
Actually, a majority of data coded (N,TOT),,SIG,,RAW are transmission data, but there
are others, i.e. cross sections in barns uncorrected for various effects.
Some users have expressed their wish to retrieve transmission data from EXFOR in aconvenient way. Therefore we propose to introduce a new code TRN for REACTION SF8, to
be used instead of RAW in case of transmission.

Introduction
UKRNDC is subdivision within the Department of Neutron Physics, Institute for Nuclear
Research of the National Academy of Sciences Ukraine.

Compilation
We continue collection and compilation of experimental data published in Ukrainian printed
sources. After compilation of numerical data and related information using EXFOR format they
are sent to NDS IAEA to be included to EXFOR library. After last meeting in 2002 we preparedand revised four entries 32202, 32207, 32208 and 41012.
Collaboration

We continue our collaboration with the Laboratory of Engineering and Technology (LET)of the Chornobyl Center for Nuclear Safety, Radioactive Waste and Radioecology(CCNSRWR), Slavutych in scientific support of Slavutych Nuclear Data Bank and its
users. In frame of this activity a series of lectures (“ENDF/B libraries”, “ Using the NJOY
code system for preparation of specialized nuclear data libraries” ) was red for this laboratory
staff.
♦ The work under the joint project supported by Science and Technology Center of Ukraine(STCU Project #1648) Development and support of Nuclear Data Base in Slavutych fordecommissioning of Chornobyl NPP reactor units has started since 1 April 2002. This work is
foreseen for three years and this activity is very important for support our UKRNDC work. We
are very much obliged to our collaborators, two of them are here: NNDC, USA and NDS,
IAEA. Due to their strong support we can plan our activity for next years.
♦ The teaching course “Nuclear Data for Science and Technology ”(68 hours) was lectured in
2002-2003 for graduate course students of Kyiv University, Physical Department. This course
included the following items: ENDF/B libraries, EXROR system, ENSDF library, the use of
PREPRO codes in the work with ENDF libraries, the introduction to NJOY94 (NJOY97) code
system, the Network of Nuclear Data Centers and the use of on-line services.
Customer Services♦ During 2002-2003 the data for users requests were prepared and adapted (from ENDF,
ENSDF and EXFOR libraries) for our institute researchers and for ones from other institutes

149

(Kyiv National University, Institute of Physics, Kyiv,
Technology,).

Kharkiv Institute of Physics and♦ The UKRNDC site is operating and developing. Ukrainian customers, especially students andthose physicists, who wish to prepare the pointwise and multigroup cross sections selfdependently, but do not have a good experience in it, use this site very often.
Address: http:\\ ukrndc.kinr.kiev.ua\
Calculation♦ Special library for modeling of neutron filters my means the code FILTER_L was extended
using ENDF/B-6 (release 8), JENDL-3.3.
♦ Analysis of self-shielding factors for Cr-52, using all new release of ENDF libraries was
fulfilled at several energy ranges. These calculations were carried out with the code complex
DT_GRO, GROUPIE, SELF. The results were used to present the measured cross sections on
Cr-52 samples and will be used in further investigations.
♦ We (together with LET) started a preparation the first order of nuclear constant library fortransport calculation for NPP with RBMK-1000 reactor type.
For all calculations of the pointwise and group cross sections we used PREPRO2002 and/or
NJOY99 package codes.
Experimental Neutron Data Measurements♦ The total neutron cross section and its self-shielding values for Cr-52 was measured at Kyiv
Research Reactor using Neutron Filter Technique. The accuracy of measured cross sections
was better than 2%, as it was requested 3% in The NEA High Priority Nuclear Data List
(1998). These data for neutron energies 24 and 58 keV were compared with the data fromENDF libraries and presented at International Conference (ISINN-11, Dubna, Russia, May
2003 and MPNP-5, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, August 2003).
Future Plans
Experimental investigations♦ To continue the study of the Cr and Cr-52 total neutron cross sections and self-shielding
effects for different energies with high accuracy using Neutron Filter Technique (2, 12, 144
keV and other energies).
♦ The same investigations we plan to start for Ni-nat samples.
Data analysis and calculation♦ Analysis of ENDF libraries files for the main RBMK structural elements and comparing withthe recent EXFOR and other experimental data with the purpose to develop the specialized
library for MCNP code calculations of RBMK decommissioning. This work is planned in theframework of the STCU Project #1648.
♦ The other analysis of ENDF files is planned for MCNP library additional files for calculationof epithermal neutron source needed in BNCT. This work is supported with CRDF Project #UP2-2437-KV-02.
♦ We plan to intensify our work in EXFOR compilation also with charge particles and CINDA
references by recruiting the young graduates from Kyiv University.
