Requirements and status of nuclear data for fusion reactors are reviewed and discussed. Special emphasis is on the review of neutron multiplication cross-sections, tritium production in 7Li, and activation cross-sections leading to the production of long-lived radionuclides.

KEYWORDS: nuclear data for fusion reactors, 7Li(n,2n)T, 9Be(n,2n), Pb(n,2n), long-lived activation cross-sections
