4^th Workshop on Neutron Measurements, Evaluations and Applications -
Nuclear data needs for Generation IV and accelerator driven systems

Neutron measurements and evaluations play an important role in many fields of application. At present, secure energy supply and the safety of citizens are the main driving forces for nuclear data studies.

Scope of the workshop
The workshop aims at providing a comprehensive overview of nuclear data needs for applications with potential economic impact. Contributions should highlight the requirements on nuclear data that arise from the applications, the current status of the data concerned and the open issues. Data producers are invited to present their views on state-of-the-art methodologies for answering these needs.

NEMEA-4 contributes to the EU funded Coordination Action on Nuclear Data for Industry Development in Europe (CANDIDE), which aims at focussing the European nuclear data community on the needs in the fields of high level waste, safety and sustainability of nuclear fission energy.

In order to enhance the workshops’ potential for high-quality networking, experts worldwide are invited to attend and participation of post doctoral fellows and PhD students who wish to present their work is encouraged.
