Popis: This paper highlights the strong need for precise nuclear structure and decay data measurements in order to perform high-quality modelling on nuclear reactors and other applications. The context of nuclear data evaluation, as well as the importance of low uncertainty evaluations, will be first presented. The importance of such data for interpreting nuclear data experimental measurements is stressed throughout. To demonstrate this, we will explain how mass and charge-dependent fission yields, decay data (in particular for the purpose of residual heat calculations), and inelastic neutrons scattering cross section rely on nuclear structure and decay information and how new and higher quality in such data can lead to improved accuracy in the precision of evaluated nuclear data.
