Abstract
A recently completed IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP) entitled ``Updated Decay Data Library for Actinides'' has resulted in new and comprehensive evaluations of the decay scheme data for over forty nuclear-power related actinides, along with a further forty radionuclides that arise from their natural decay. A number of data inadequacies remain despite a series of well-defined measurements being undertaken under the auspices of this CRP, which were subsequently incorporated into the relevant evaluations. A list is given of these outstanding measurement requirements as identified from observed shortcomings in the available data. The final data library is available in two standard formats: ENSDF for use in nuclear structure studies, and ENDF for nuclear plant applications including design and operation. Evaluations were undertaken by following the precise methodology of the Decay Data Evaluation Project (DDEP) to ensure that a uniform approach was applied by all participants. The library and associated documentation are available from a dedicated IAEA webpage (http://www-nds.iaea.org/act\textunderscore ddl/).
