The project is designed to address the critical demand for accurate and advanced nuclear reaction and decay data. These data are essential for modelling and simulation tools crucial to energy-related applications (including nuclear fission and fusion) as well as healthcare, space exploration and radiation protection.
The main objectives are (1) conducting experiments to obtain new and improved nuclear data, (2) evaluating available experimental nuclear data, (3) validating evaluated nuclear data files, (4) supporting access to key experimental infrastructures, (5) developing and improving detectors, techniques, infrastructures, analysis methods, (6) developing new infrastructure to develop isotopically enriched materials, (7) identifying new nuclear data priorities, (8) assessing nuclear data competences. ATOMKI contributes to objective (2) and (8).
The consortium includes 37 partners and is lead by CIEMAT, Spain.
The objectives will financed with 4 MEUR, the share of ATOMKI is 21.9 kEUR.
