The Protected Plutonium Production (P3) project has been initiated. The first stage of this project (P3-A) is based on the idea of protecting plutonium by 238Pu isotope generated from 237Np doped in the fresh uranium fuel. The present status of nuclear data relevant to the P3-concept reactor design is surveyed and data requirement is presented.
