Introduction to EFNUDAT

Efforts are directed towards the minimization, management and disposal of highly radioactive nuclear waste. Partitioning of nuclear waste and transmutation of long-lived isotopes are subject of investigations. These studies imply the needs for the underlying nuclear databases. In this respect, accurate knowledge of neutron and proton induced nuclear reactions in the intermediate- and high-energy domains is important and EFNUDAT aims at networking European facilities for such nuclear data measurements.
