ADS/ND-02 High-energy nuclear data for ADS S. Leray CEA/Saclay, Gif-sur-Yvette, France Corresponding Author: sylvie.leray@cea.fr Accelerator-driven sub-critical reactors that are envisaged for the transmutation of nuclear waste use intense neutron fluxes produced through spallation reactions in a heavy metal target. During the last years, new high-quality experimental data have been collected leading to a better understanding of the spallation reaction mechanism and to the development of more reliable spallation models. Examples of recent experimental data and model improvements will be presented. The impact on target design, radioactivity production and material damage will be discussed.
