Abstract
The International Conference is reviewed relative to needs for measured data in nuclear energy applications. Notable achievements were recorded in several research areas. Elsewhere, obstacles have inhibited development of adequate data. Major data areas are identified with various levels of progress during recent years. The present energy-related nuclear data base is characterized as inadequate relative to a rising standard of quality. Ongoing efforts can achieve the continual improvement required for future technology.
Research sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under contract DE-AC05-840R21400 with Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc.
