Completing the Nuclear Data Request Form
When you complete the Nuclear Data Request form, items with an asterisk (*) are required. Guidelines for submitting a request are provided. Submission of the form will forward the request to the NDAG chair, Michael.Zerkle [at] unnpp.gov (Mike Zerkle), heinrichs1 [at] llnl.gov (Dave Heinrichs), pignimt [at] ornl.gov (Marco Pigni), rcl [at] lanl.gov (Bob Little), and the ncsp-mgmt [at] llnl.gov (NCSP Management team).
Sample Form
Name* | John Doe |
Email* | john.doe [at] somefacility.com (john[dot]doe[at]somefacility[dot]com) |
Organization* | International Reprocessing Facility, Ltd. |
Target Nuclide* | Np-237 |
Reaction/Process* | n, fission |
Incident Energy Range* | Thermal – 1 MeV |
Requested Accuracy* | ±5% up to 1 keV ±10% 1 keV – 2 Mev |
Application Area* | Reprocessing, fabrication and storage of Advanced Recycle Reactor (ARR) Fuel |
Justification | ARR fuel contain a much higher content of Np-237 than conventional LWR fuel. Improved data for the Np-237 fission cross section, particularly from thermal through the resonance region (~ 1 keV) will reduce conservative margins in processing volumes. |
Impact* | Analyses have not yet been performed to quantify the improved throughput and cost reductions to be achieved with uncertainty reduction in the reactivity of these processing streams. |
