International Workshop on Nuclear Data Evaluation for Reactor Applications (WONDER)
Ongoing

The International Workshop on Nuclear Data Evaluation for Reactor Applications (WONDER) is a series of conferences co-sponsored by the NEA Nuclear Science Division. The main objective of the workshops is to review the current modelling and evaluation methods of nuclear data  for reactor applications (operational and future nuclear installations) and to discuss possible areas of improvements. The workshop is conducted in English.

The workshops cover the following topics:

  • nuclear Data needs for reactor applications;
  • microscopic and integral nuclear data measurements;
  • evaluation of nuclear data (theories, models, codes);
  • uncertainties and covariance matrices (methodology and impact on reactor calculations);
  • processing and benchmarking;
  • thermal scattering laws;
  • decay data;
  • nuclear fission, including prompt particle emission and fission yields.

Special emphasis is placed on new ideas and perspectives.
