The field of beta delayed neutron emission has been of interest since the discovery of nuclear fission. However, the status of compilation of available data is not satisfactory. Applying state-of-the-art experimental techniques, new measurements of beta delayed neutrons have been undertaken at various different laboratories such as GSI (Germany), Triumf (Canada), Riken (Japan) and ORNL (USA). It has been indicated that the IAEA should take a role at the centre of these activities and coordinate the efforts by evaluating, compiling and, eventually, disseminating the results in form of a Reference Database for Beta-delayed Neutron Emission Evaluation. Therefore this CRP is proposed.
Compile the existing Beta-delayed neutron data, in particular half-lives, neutron emission probabilities and neutron spectra for individual precursors
