Summary Report of the 1st RCM of the CRP on the Updating Fission Yield Data for Applications

Abstract

The First Research Coordination Meeting of the CRP on “Updating Fission Yield Data for Applications” was held by video conference from 31 August to 4 September 2020 with more than 50 international experts from 16 countries attending the meeting. The CRP is devoted to evaluation efforts of cumulative and independent fission yields for incident ener-gies from the thermal point up to 14 MeV on actinide targets. Produced fission yield evalu-ations should include full uncertainty quantification and are expected to combine available experimental data and state-of-art model information. Four working groups were created within the collaboration: 1) Availability of experimental fission product yield data for eval-uations; 2) New fission product yield experimental data; 3) Fission product yield evalua-tion; and 4) Fission product yield validation. Technical discussions and the resulting work plan of the Coordinated Research Programme are summarized in this report.
