A Nuclear Data Project on Neutron Capture Cross Sections of Long-Lived Fission Products and Minor Actinides

A nuclear data project entitled “Systematic Study on Neutron Capture Reaction Cross Sections for the Technological Development of Nuclear Transmutation of Long-Lived Nuclear Wastes” is being performed. The objective of the project is to improve nuclear data libraries, by making the precise measurements of neutron capture cross sections of Long-Lived Nuclear Wastes (LLNWs), analyzing the measured results theoretically, and supplying reliable calculated capture cross sections for the LLNWs. This contribution presents the outline of the project, and individual results are presented by other contributions.
