Abstract
Neutronics simulation of nuclear systems relies on the availability of nuclear data to provide accurate numerical representations of the underlying physical processes. Essential nuclear data include energy-dependent reaction cross-sections, the energy and angular distributions of reaction products for various combinations of incident particles and targets, and the atomic and nuclear properties of excited states as well as their radioactive decay data. Fusion neutronics calculations cover particles transport, nuclear transmutation and activation, neutron radiation damage, radiation dose, biological safety, etc. These calculations require nuclear data that include transport nuclear data, transmutation and activation nuclear data, radiation damage nuclear data, etc. This chapter introduces these nuclear data libraries.
