Abstract: The work performed within the framework of 'NuclearData Evaluations' task (BB-S.05.02-T001/T004/ T005/T007), 'Work Package Breeding Blanket' (WPBB), within 'Fusion Technology Department' (FTD) of EUROfusion Consortium (https://www.euro-fusion.org/) between 2022-2024 https://www.nipne.ro/proiecte/pn3/57-proiecte.html ), is continued following 'RDI projects for participation in EUROfusion project' (EURATOM-RO/CDI/2024-2, www.ifa-mg.ro/euratom-fuziune/docs/2024/Lista rezultate competitie EURATOM 2024.pdf ) competition, with the respect to the development of Nuclear Data files which are needed and requested for the generation, maintenance and validation of nuclear data libraries relevant for ITER, DEMO, and IFMIF (https://prompt.ifa-mg.ro/projects). On the other hand, a segment of the work on model assumptions and parameters which is needed to obtain the results asumed to be achieved by the EUROfusion-WPBB-S.05.02-T007 'Task Specification', is carried on within a complementary side of this project based on the EUROfusion/WPBB evaluation (https://prompt.ifa-mg.ro/projects/89/edit ).

Objectives: The main objectives of this task will be (1) evaluation of deuteron-induced reaction data of structural materials and update of the d-induced TENDL data library as required for activation analyses of the IFMIF-DONES facility, and (2) further analysis of the optical model potential for alpha particles and alpha-particel emission which is relevant for the evaluation of gas production and radiation damage data. The corresponding activities will concern particularly (1) evaluation of deuteron-induced reaction cross sections at the energies ?50 MeV update on the basis of improved models for the interaction of deuterons with low and medium mass nuclei, on the basis of proper account of contributions of all involved reaction mechanisms as the breakup, stripping, pick-up, pre-equilibrium and evaporation processes, including the assessment of the related procedures recently involved in TALYS (http://www.talys.eu/) nuclear model calculations, and (2) evaluation of fast-neutron induced alpha emission data on the basis of consistent nuclear model calculation of reaction cross sections, namely by using model parameters established through analysis of distinct independent data and performed for all available data for various reaction channels and isotopes of structural materials including EUROFER and SS-316.
