In the last two decades, through technological, experimental and theoretical advances, the
situation in experimental fission studies has changed dramatically. With the use of advanced …

Research and development in nuclear reactor physics and thermal-hydraulics continue to
be vital parts of nuclear science and technology in Japan. The Fukushima accident not only …

Neutron total and capture cross sections of 241Am have been measured with a new data
acquisition system and a new neutron transmission measurement system installed in …

The neutron capture cross-section of 241Am was measured from 10 meV to about 500 keV
using the NaI (Tl) spectrometer of the Accurate Neutron-Nucleus Reaction Measurement …

Fission cross-sections exhibit high sensitivity to the level density at both equilibrium and
saddle point deformations. In this study, the energy dependence of neutron-induced fission …

After nearly 80 years of research on nuclear fission, we still do not fully understand the
fission process. A combination of new requirements for accurate fission nuclear data, the …
