Progress report on nuclear data research in the Federal Republic of Germany : for the period April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2003

NEA/NSC/DOC(03)07 und INDC-(Ger)-049 Abstract:As in previous years, this report has been prepared to promote exchange of nuclear data research information between the Federal Republic of Germany and other member states of OECD/NEA and IAEA. It covers progress reports from the research centres at Karlsruhe and Jülich, the universities of Dresden, Hannover and Köln, as well as from the PTB Braunschweig. Each contribution is presented under the laboratory heading from where the work is reported. The names of other participating laboratories are also mentioned. The emphasis in the work reported here is on nuclear data for applied science programmes, such as those relevant to reactor technology and safety, transmutation concepts, accelerator shielding and development, astrophysics research, cosmogenic and meteoritic investigations, production ofmedically important radioisotopes, etc. The coordination of nuclear data activities at the international level is done by two committees : the NEA-Nuclear Science Committee (NEANSC) and the IAEA-International Nuclear Data Committee (INDC). The present Editor has the privilege and the responsibility of representing Germany in both the committees. This report therefore also serves as a background information to some areas of work of those committees
