TL;DR: Fispact-II as discussed by the authors is a code system and library database for modeling activation-transmutation processes, depletion-burn-up, time dependent inventory and radiation damage source terms caused by nuclear reactions and decays.

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental nuclear structure data and decay data are evaluated for the known nuclides of mass 40 (Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca, Sc, Ti), with the best values recommended for level energies, half-lives, γ -ray energies and intensities, decay properties (energies, intensities and placement of radiations).

TL;DR: The method of propagation of uncertainties is based on random sampling of nuclear data, either from covariance files or directly from basic parameters, to provide an insight on what can happen when calculating uncertainties and give some perspectives on the range of validity on these uncertainties.

TL;DR: The experimental results published before February 2017 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides 158 Nd, 158 Pm, 158 Sm, 158 Eu, 158 Gd,158 Tb, 158 Dy, 158 Ho, 158 Er, 158 Tm,158 Yb,158 Lu, 158 Hf, 158 Ta, 158 W in the A=158 mass chain have been reviewed as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental nuclear structure data from various reactions and decays are compiled and evaluated for all known nuclides with mass number A=138 (Sn,Sb,Te,I,Xe,Cs,Ba,La,Ce,Pr,Nd,Pm,Sm,Eu,Gd,Tb).

TL;DR: Achterberg et al. as discussed by the authors evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies for 193Ta, 193W, 193Re, 193Os, 193Ir, 193Pt, 193Au, 193Hg, 193Tl, 191Pb, 193Bi, 193Po, 193At, and 193Rn.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed comprehensive calculations of cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on 232 −237U targets in the 10 keV −30 MeV incident energy range with the code EMPIRE 3.2 Malta.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a novel approach to the evaluation of nuclear data (ND), combining experimental data for thermal cross sections with resonance parameters and nuclear reaction modeling, and provide extensive covariance information, including consistent cross-channel correlations over the whole energy spectrum.

TL;DR: In this paper, the specific neutron yields and their uncertainties resulting from spontaneous α-decay of actinides 241 Am, 249 Bk, 252 Cf, 242,244 Cm, 237 Np, 238−242 Pu, 232 Th and 232−236,238 U in oxide and fluoride compounds were provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented experimental data for 13 known mass 189 nuclides (Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Po).

TL;DR: In this paper, the nuclear structure of ground and excited states for all known nuclei with mass numbers A=244 have been compiled and evaluated, as well as the detailed nuclear properties and configuration assignments based on experimental data are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, cyclic neutron activation analysis (CNAA) was performed on three actinide targets (thoriumoxide, depleted uranium metal, and highly enriched uranium metal) at the University of Michigan's Neutron Science Laboratory (UM-NSL) using a pneumatic system and Thermo-Scientific D711 accelerator-based fusion neutron generator.

TL;DR: In this paper, the available nuclear structure information for the known A=256 nuclei (Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No, Lr, Rf and Db) is presented together with adopted properties of levels and gamma rays.

TL;DR: Spectroscopic data for A=258 nuclides have been updated and re-evaluated, superseding the data presented in the previous evaluation 2001Ak11 published by Y.A. Akovali as discussed by the authors.
