gamma-ray spectra will be theoretically analyzed simultaneously. Finally, theoretical calculation will be<br />

performed for the LLNWs. This contribution presents the outline of the project, and individual results are<br />

presented by other contributions. This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 22226016.<br />

MANREAD is a co-ordinated research project of the IAEA Nuclear Data Section. It brought together<br />

experts in measurements of minor actinide nuclear data to assess the current status of the available experimental<br />

data, to summarize recent and stimulate ongoing and new measurements. Using key feedback<br />

from major recent minor actinide nuclear data evaluations from CIAE, IPPE, JAEA and Minsk, this comprehensive<br />

review allowed to identify major deficiencies in the experimental database, and areas where the<br />

accuracy of data is insufficient for applications. Prospects for improvement of nuclear data measurements<br />

were identified showing that important progress may be made with new facilities and with new experimental<br />

and measurement techniques. Alongside with this are new developments in nuclear modelling that<br />

will allow better predictions especially when benchmarked against new good quality measurements. It is<br />

expected that the final report will provide important guidance for new measurements and evaluations of<br />

minor actinide nuclear data. An overview will be presented of the contents of the project and the achievements<br />

of the various parts.<br />

The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) has a long-standing tradition in fission<br />

fragment (FF) yield measurements. In recent years fission-fragment distributions of isotopes with vibrational<br />

resonances in the sub-threshold fission cross section have been investigated like 234,238 U [1,2]. Implementation<br />

of multi-modality in fission cross-section models may explain the connection between resonance<br />

structures and the observed FF yield fluctuations. For 234 U, the impact of the experimentally observed<br />
