12 Oct.18, 200112 Requirements for Neutron Nuclear Data Spectrum Calculation Neutron DDX (especially at low energy and larger scattering angles) Nuclear Heating Calculation Photon production Charged particle production Activation Calculation Long-lived residual production Sequential multi-step reaction process UNIVERSAL REQUESTS IN USE FOR IFMIF NEUTRONICS PROBLEMS e.g. (n,2n), (n,3n) and (n,Xn) (where X=charged particle) processes are important in some calculations (Neutron cross sections up to 50~60 MeV)

13 Oct.18, 200113 Status of Neutron Nuclear Data (n,2n) : Generally good situation except for Be, candidate of multiplier material. (n,3n) : Generally worse. Heavily relied on model calculations. Experimental consistency check is recommended. (n,pn) : Situation is better. Systematic measurement to separate (n,d) process is lacked. (n,  n) : Comparatively worse. No systematic study is found. Partial DDX information for each channel is necessary to establish the clear systematic understanding about channel branching, though its measurement is extremely difficult. Theoretical support calculation which excludes the excessive model parameters is inevitable. Continued systematical measurements of the above reaction cross sections at JAERI/FNS and the other facilities (esp. at higher than 14 MeV) is strongly desired and the results are much useful.

14 Oct.18, 200114 Summary 1.Neutron source characteristics are relatively well-known. 2.Detailed analyses to deduce Double-Differential Yields for mono-energetic deuterons based on the correct theoretical interpretation are needed. 3.Deuteron induced activities might be measured at each laboratory, however, these data are not available in a systematical form. 4.Neutron induced activities are
