Evaluation of charged-particle reactions for fusion applications

New evaluations of the total reaction cross sections for H-2(d,n)He-3, H-2(d,p)H-3, H-3(t,2n)He-4, H-3(d,n)He-4, and He-3(d,p)He-4 have been completed. These evaluations are based on all known published data from 1946 to 1990 and include over 1150 measured data points from 67 references. The purpose of this work is to provide a consistent and well-documented set of cross sections for use in calculations relating to fusion energy research. A new thermonuclear data file, TDF, and a library of FORTRAN subprograms to read the file have been developed. Calculated from the new evaluations, the TDF file contains information on the Maxwellian-averaged reaction rates as a function of reaction and plasma temperature and the Maxwellian-averaged average energy of the interacting particles and reaction products. Routines are included that provide thermally-broadened spectral information for the secondary reaction products.
