2.9 The status report on the nuclear data project in korea

摘要

The nuclear data project as one of the nation-wide nuclear R&D programs was launched by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) in 1996. Its main goals are to establihs a nuclear data system, to construct the infrastructure for the nuclear data productions and evaluations, and to develop a highly reliable nuclear data system. In order to build the infrastructure for the nuclear data production, KAFRI wants to build an intense pulsed neutron source by utilizing accelerator facilities, technologies, and manpower at the Pohang Accelerator laboratory (PAL). The PAL proposed the Pohang Neutron Facility (PNF), which consists of a 100-MeV electron linac, a water-cooled Ta target, and at least three different time-of-flight (TOF) paths. The 100-MeV electron linac was designed and constructed based on experimences obtained from construction and operation of the 2-GeV linac at PAL. We report a status report on the nuclear data production and evaluation in Korea.
