Priority Nuclear Data Needs for Industrial Applications

The aim of this paper is to review the activity of the French Committee on Nuclear Data (CFDN) regarding priority of data needs for R&D programs and industrial applications in France under investigation at FRAMATOME, EDF, COGEMA, and CEA. The target precisions on key integral parameters and the associated milestones are surveyed and a long-term strategy to evaluate quantitatively the corresponding data needs, including the trends for data changes resulting from various validation studies using JEF-2 data is presented.
