Abstract
Nuclear data for structural materials are used in calculations of reactor fuel enrichment, burn-up reactivity variations, kinetics and safety characteristics, irradiation damage and activation of the materials, and the effectiveness of reflectors and shields. The structural materials of interest are those present in reactor cores, reflectors and shields, components in the coolant circuits and in fuel storage,transport and reprocessing facilities (in connection with criticality calculations). Correlations with integral measurements have been used extensively in the design of reactors, and in refining calculations of neutronics properties. Aspects of the present status of the integral and differential data are discussed.
