The high precision of recent measurements for low-energy α-particle elastic-scattering as well as inducedreaction
data makes possible the understanding of actual limits [1,2] and possible improvement [3] of the
global optical model potentials parameters. Involvement of these potentials for further description of also
the α-particle emission in fast-neutron induced reaction at low energies, at the same time with the αparticle
elastic-scattering and induced reaction data is moreover discussed in the present work, of equal
interest not only for nuclear astrophysics but for nuclear technology of fusion devices too. However, the
approach of the former issue should take into account the need for new physics in nuclear potentials in
order to describe nuclear de-excitation within the statistical model calculations [4]. In particular, effects
due to changes of the nuclear density at a finite temperature have been considered within the double folding
(DF) formalism [5] of the α-nucleus real part of the optical potential. Finally, it is shown that a better
knowledge of this issue would be also very convenient for additional insight on basic nuclear properties as
the moment of inertia [6] that determines the spin distribution of the nuclear level density.

A comprehensive collection of nuclear data is important for fusion technology studies, particularly for the
design of devices such as the ITER experimental fusion device; the IFMIF materials test facility and a
future prototype power station DEMO. For this reason the IAEA Nuclear Data Section has produced the
FENDL series of libraries. The currently available library, FENDL-2.1, is the reference data set for ITER
and contains both General Purpose and Activation data for a wide range of targets up to an energy limit
of 20 MeV. While this energy is satisfactory for ITER, IFMIF and other similar facilities require data to
higher energies and as a result a new Coordinated Research Project (CRP) was started in 2008 to address
