China, as a developing country with a great number of population and relatively less energy resources, reasonably emphasizes the nuclear energy utilization development. Meanwhile, the application of nuclear technology at different fields plays more and more important role. All these put forward new requirements to nuclear data measurements. The fast neutron physics laboratory in CIAE is the main base of nuclear data measurement in China. There are more than 40 scientific staff in this laboratory. Different neutron sources ranged from 0.01 MeV to 40 MeV are available. Many kind of detector systems such as three detectors fast neutron time of flight spectrometer, inverse geometry multi-detectors fast neutron time of flight spectrometer, HPGe-BaF2 anti-Compton suppression spectrometer are available and a few new detector systems are under construction. The research activities are focused on Fusion and fission related nuclear data measurements, Astrophysics related nuclear data measurements and others. The main results in recent years will be reported.
