Harvey, J A

The traveler spent four weeks at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), Japan under the cooperative research agreement on nuclear physics between JAERI and MMES and also under the Foreign Researcher Inviting Program. The goal of the visit was to get the complex computer program SAMMY operating on the VAX 780 computer at the Tandem Laboratory, also on the main computer (IBM type) at JAERI. A few limited energy regions of the new ORELA high-resolution {sup 238}U transmission data were analyzed at JAERI to confirm that the program was operating correctly. The traveler presented a seminar on recent research and developments at ORELA, held discussions on the neutron programs at the Tandem and Linac at JAERI, learned about their progress on the production of slow positron beams and on free electron lasers, and visited the JPDR Decommissioning Demonstration Program and the large Tokamak Fusion Experimental device JT-60. At the Mito Conference valuable discussions were held on the present status and future needs of resonance parameters of {sup 238}U, on nonstatistical spacing distributions and on systematics of neutron strength functions. To satisfy the future nuclear data needs, continued international cooperation is essential for measurements, analyses, evaluations, and testing.
