Abstract

Improvements have been made to the nuclear data standards largely as a

result of an IAEA Data Development Project. The work includes the

traditional activities related to standards, extending the energy ranges

of some standards, and reference data that are not as well known as the

standards but can be very useful in the measurements of certain types

of cross sections. Also included is an effort to improve evaluations of ²³⁵U thermal and ²⁵²Cf spontaneous fission neutron spectra.
