Abstract

The status of Chinese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (CENDL) and the relevant CENDL project are introduced in this paper. Recently, a new version CENDL-3.2b0 was being prepared on the basis of the previous CENDL-3.1. The data in the light and actinide nuclide regions are updated from CENDL-3.1, and the new evaluations and calculations are performed mainly around structure and fission product nuclide regions. Covariance was also evaluated for structure and actinide nuclides. At the same time, the methodologies are systematically developed to fulfil the requirements of evaluations for CENDL-3.2b0. The updated nuclear reaction models for light and middle-heavy nuclides, non-model dependent nuclear data evaluation, covariance evaluation approaches, systematics, and integral validation system of nuclear data are incorporated in present CENDL project. The future developments are also planned.
