Abstract

The ENDF/B-VI (Evaluated Nuclear Data File) library will contain sublibraries of all radioactive decay data and fission product yields. These libraries will continue to contain error files. Reaction cross sections (neutron and charged particle) for materials and individual nuclides will be contained in other libraries. There are very few new reaction cross-section evaluations in the range of fission products and actinides. However, evaluators did pay special attention to certain activation reactions.
