Multifaceted coded nuclear data libraries assemblage,verification and validation:TENDL-2019

摘要

The Multipurpose, multifaceted methodical nuclear data libraries coded by TALYS [1 j, TARES [2], TANES, TAFIS, TEFAL and TASMAN as the Evaluated Nuclear Data Library TENDL [3] have been released nearly every year for the last decade. Considerable experience has been acquired during the production years of such global, truly multifaceted, multiparticle (neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, alpha, helium and gamma induced), and multipurpose nuclear data libraries; based on the feedback from the developers, evaluators, processing experts and, most importantly, end users. The backbone of this achievement is artless but robust: completeness, quality, upgradability and, most of all, reproducibility and methodology. Since TENDL has been comprehensively adopted by many quite different applications (accelerator, astrophysics, fusion, fission, medical, experimental, decommissioning, etc.) that require multifaceted nuclear reaction data in various forms, primary and derived, for not only criticality but shielding, radio-protection, transmutation, experimental interpretation, materials or earth sciences, it is instructive to assess its strengths and remaining weaknesses. The essential knowledge is not the TENDL libraries themselves, but rather the necessary physics databases and methods, processes, codes, tools and know-how that go into the making of each and every evaluations of the libraries. Recent efforts have been focused on a proper assessment of the underlying physics coding and incorporation of databases information and metrics into the scientific T6 system [3].
