Braams *Atomic and Molecular Data Unit, Nuclear Data Section, Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences, IAEA, Vienna *_Title :_ IAEA Activities on Atomic, Molecular and Plasma-Surface Interaction Data for Fusion and other applications * *_Abstract_ *The research to create sustainable fusion reactions for energy generation is highly inter-disciplinary and requires extensive sets of data on atomic, molecular and plasma-surface interaction (AM/PSI) properties used for modeling the confined plasma and the evolution of the plasma-facing materials. Atomic and Molecular (A+M) Data Unit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has supported the International Atomic and Molecular Data Centre Network (DCN) where a number of institutions coordinate the production, exchange, compilation, dissemination and evaluation of fusion relevant data in order to meet the critical data needs of the world-wide fusion community. Data are needed for the main plasma species and a variety of impurity elements and molecules and their ions over a wide range of plasma conditions and for plasma interaction with different pure and mixed wall materials. In many cases the uncertainty in the collisional data is poorly known and many data sets have not been critically evaluated due to the technical difficulties and the lack of researchers to carry out data evaluation. However, the need is greatly increasing for evaluated data, and ultimately for a standard reference library for fusion relevant data. In this presentation, the A+M Data Unit activities and the current status of the IAEA coordinated activities on evaluation of collisional data to establish the IAEA standard library of fusion relevant atomic, molecular and plasma-material interaction data are summarized.
