Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF)

Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF)

Ø Major evaluated data library for energy and non-energy applications involving particle transport Ø There is no single ENDF file, but several national and international efforts: ENDF/B, JEFF, JENDL, CENDL, ROSFONDF/BROND Ø  IAEA projects, CIELO

Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF)

ENSDF Evaluation

•  Levels, spins, parities •  Multipolarities, mxing

ratios, conversion coefficients

•  Half-lives, transitions strengths, emission probabilities…

•  Continuously updated •  Complete

15 NSDD centres

74% 26%

Present and Future

NSDD centres

74% 26% Ø Require 12 full-time evaluators to keep ENSDF

updated every 10 years – have only 9 Ø Limited funding Ø Retirement of experienced evaluators Ø Rapid growth in new data Ø Increasing demands for reliable up-to-date nuclear

data

Contribution from the major facilities all around the world is CRUCIAL !

Ø  Maintain expertise in nuclear data

Ø  Keep ENSDF current Ø  Provide top quality data for

applications and basic research
