The sixth release of the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF/B-VI) is now being prepared for general distribution. This data file serves as the primary source of nuclear data for nuclear applications in the United States and Canada and in many other countries of the world. The data library is maintained and distributed by the National Nuclear Data Center at Brookhaven National Laboratory from evaluations provided by members of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG). Unlike its predecessor, ENDF/B-V, this file will be available to all requesters without restrictions. Compared to ENDF/B-V, released more than 11 yr ago, the ENDF/B-VI data library contains significant improvements for both fission and fusion reaction design. Future work will continue with limited staffing and foreign cooperation to provide the data needed for future nuclear applications.
