Abstract
| A significant number of new measurements was undertaken by the ANDES “Measurements for
advanced reactor systems” initiative. These new measurements include neutron inelastic scattering
from 23Na, Mo, Zr, and 238U, neutron capture cross sections of 238U, 241Am, neutron induced
fission cross sections of 240Pu, 242Pu, 241Am, 243Am and 245Cm, and measurements that explore
the limits of the surrogate technique. The latter study the feasibility of inferring neutron capture
cross sections for Cm isotopes, the neutron-induced fission cross section of 238Pu and fission yields
and fission probabilities through full Z and A identification in inverse kinematics for isotopes of
Pu, Am, Cm and Cf. Finally, four isotopes are studied which are important to improve predictions
for delayed neutron precursors and decay heat by total absorption gamma-ray spectrometry (88Br,
94Rb, 95Rb, 137I). The measurements which are performed at state-of-the-art European facilities
have the ambition to achieve the lowest possible uncertainty, and to come as close as is reasonably
achievable to the target uncertainties established by sensitivity studies. An overview is presented of
the activities and achievements, leaving detailed expositions to the various parties contributing to
the conference. |
