Conclusions from previous FENDL meeting (AK)We are approaching the situation in which the production of a complete
ENDF-6 file is standard, quality assured and reproducible. When this is indeed accomplished, the main challenges are:• Better physics models and parameterization of the nuclear models• Selecting and measuring good experimental dataNext, computer power does the rest
NRG offers TENDL to FENDL• To fill gaps in the fusion material chart• To adopt covariance data, for transport and activation libraries• To adopt high-energy data• To adopt complete proton and deuteron libraries• To adopt entire or parts of neutron libraries whenever the FENDL group
thinks that is appropriate
and only requests feedback in return.

Other people using TALYS (publications)
TALYS additions in 2010-2011
• New phenomenological break-up model from Connie Kalbach (FENDL-3 report 2010)
• More alpha OMP’s (e.g. Demetriou-Goriely double-folding)
• More deuteron OMP’s (Y. Han, Haixia An, etc.)
• Extended flexibility for level densities (choice of level density model per nucleus)
• Generation of URR parameters (collaboration with Gilles Noguere, CEA/CAD)
• Calculation of effective cross sections for integral activation measurements.
• Small bug fixes and addition of input flexibility
TALYS-1.4: release december 2011.

TALYS Evaluated Nuclear Data Library: TENDL-2011
• Neutron, proton, deuteron, triton, Helium-3, alpha and gamma libraries: ENDF-6 format and x-y tables
• 2430 targets (all with lifetime > 1 sec.)• Neutron library: complete covariance data • For all nuclides processed MCNP-libraries (“ACE-files”) (n,p and
d), PENDF files and processed multi-group covariances (neutrons only)
Strategy:• Always ensure completeness, global improvement in 2011, 2012,
… Production time: 2 months for 150 processors• Extra effort for important nuclides, especially when high precision
is required (e.g. actinides): Fitted model calculations and direct inclusion of experimental/evaluated data. Keep the input files.
• All libraries are always reproducible from scratch• All libraries based on compact reaction info: default TALYS
input file or input file with adjusted parameters, parameter uncertainties, resonance parameters + uncertainties, “rescue” file with adoption from other libraries

Typical calculation times
Numbers based on a single Intel Xeon X5472 3.0 GhZ processor
Time needed to get all cross sections, level densities, spectra, angular distributions. gamma production etc.:
• 14 MeV neutron on non-deformed target: 3 sec.
• 60 incident energies between 0 and 20 MeV:
1 min. (Al-27) to 4 min. (Pb-208) to 10 min. (U-238)
• 100 incident energies between 0 and 200 MeV:
20 min. (Al-27) to 3 hours (U-238)
• To obtain credible Monte Carlo based covariance data: multiply the above numbers by 50-500.

Neutronics, activation and nuclear data for fusion
Monte Carlo calculational procedure specifically suitable for ITER/IFMIF/DEMO neutronics analyses
Many relevant parameters can be determined:
- Neutron flux distributions
- Gamma flux distributions
- Radiation dose in optical fibers + required shielding
- Dose rates in port cell
- Nuclear heating
- Other relevant response parameters
Activation issues:
- activity, radiotoxicity, gamma dose rate, decay heat
Complete and good quality transport and activation data libraries are essential for a full simulation of all these effects.

TALYS-based libraries in FENDL-3
• FENDL-3: a total of 180 neutron libraries, of which 40 are TALYS-based.
• NRG-evaluations (2005):• Sc-45, Fe-58, Ge-70,72,73,74,76• Pb-204,206,207,208, Bi-209
• TENDL-2010:• C-13, O-17,18• P-31, S-32,33,34,36, K-39,40,41• La-138,139, Lu-175,176• Re-185,187, Pt-190,192,194,195,196,198
• KIT (2010):• Cr-50,52,53,54

TENDL proton and deuteron libraries
• In ENDF-6 format (transport) and EAF (activation) format• 2430 nuclides (all with lifetime > 1 sec.) up to 200 MeV• For all nuclides we have processed MCNP-libraries (ACE files)• Safe formatting (i.e. equal to LA-150p = ENDF/B-VIIp):
• MF3/MT2• MF3/MT5• MF6/MT2• MF6/MT5
Applied (fusion) codes:• MCNPX can use proton data libraries for transport• MCUNED can use deuteron data libraries for transport• FISPACT-II can use proton and deuteron data libraries for
activation

A glimpse into the future: Automatic optimization
• Analyze isotope in depth with TALYS (parameter fitting) and adopt resonance parameters
• Assign realistic uncertainties to all data• Create > 1000 random data libraries inside these uncertainties• Benchmark them all against all integral experiments containing
the isotope• Take the best random library and promote that one to the best
file (including covariance data)

Conclusions
TENDL for FENDL:•Proton libraries: Complete, versus 30 nuclides in ENDF/B-VII (JENDL/HE?)•Deuteron libraries: the only one existing, requires testing in MCUNED (MCNPX++)•Protons and deuterons can be handled by FISPACT-II•Neutron libraries with TALYS + TENDL
- Materials which are well evaluated (Sc, Cr, Fe, Ge, Pb, Bi), or are old/non-existing in other libraries (C-13, O-17,18, P, S, K, Lu, Re, Pt)
- Complete covariance data adopted as shadow library- Extension up to 200 MeV adopted
