【 摘 要 】

Livermore's N-Division is now releasing the first version of a major new nuclear data library. This includes some 500 evaluations (roughly four times the number in the previous standard) and many physics improvements important for calculating weapon performance, output effects, attribution signatures, key radiochemical diagnostics and performance of conventional and hybrid fission/fusion reactors. As this library is more extensive and on a much firmer nuclear physics footing than the previous ENDL99 it should become, after a period of trial use by the applied community, the new standard for programmatic applications at Livermore. This work was supported by ASC-PEM and Campaign 4. Our basic philosophy in this release was to adopt the best work of the world's different nuclear data efforts. We have drawn heavily from the U.S. ENDF project (led by Brookhaven), the Japanese JENDL project (JAEA), and the European JEFF project (NEA). Because those efforts tend to focus on reactor applications they do not include an account of the charged particles emitted following a reaction. To enable broader applications we have used theory-based calculations to add a complete description of charged particles in all evaluations in the new library.
