A new version of Chinese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library, namely CENDL-3.2, has been completed under the joint efforts of CENDL working group. This library is constructed with the general purpose to provide high-quality nuclear data for the modern nuclear science and engineering. 272 nuclides from light to heavy are covered in CENDL-3.2 in total and the data for 134 nuclides are new or updated evaluations in energy region of 10-5 eV-20 MeV. The data of most of the key nuclides in nuclear application like U, Pu, Th, Fe et al. have been revised and improved, and various evaluation techniques have been developed to produce the nuclear data with good quality. Moreover, model dependent covariances data for main reaction cross sections are added for 70 fission product nuclides. To assess the accuracy of CENDL-3.2 in application, the data have been tested with the criticality and shielding benchmarks collected in ENDITS-1.0.

In nuclear medicine, gallium-67 (67Ga) is potentially applied for imaging a certain type of tissue. In this investigation, 67Ga is theoretically studied in terms of its potential radioactivity yields at the end of various energetic proton bombardments.  Nuclear cross-sections derived from the Talys Evaluated Nuclear Data Library (TENDL) 2017 were used as the input files, while a Matlab code was developed to perform the yield calculations of 67Zn(p,n)67Ga and 68Zn(p,2n)67Ga nuclear reactions to produce 67Ga. Two different targets – enriched 67Zn and natZn targets – were simulated in the calculations. The calculated yields suggested that a maximum of 27.37 MBq/µAh could be achieved when enriched 67Zn target was irradiated with 15-MeV protons, whereas 46.99 MBq/µAh could be generated following a 30 MeV proton bombardment of enriched 68Zn target. Various radioactive gallium impurities, i.e. 63,64,65,66,68,70Ga and stable 69Ga isotope were also expected to be generated mostly via (p,n) and (p,2n) reactions when natZn target was used in the 67Ga production. In contrast, radioactive 66Ga and 68Ga impurities were mainly produced following bombardment of enriched 67Zn and 68Zn targets. This study can be used as a reference for future 67Ga radionuclide production.
