title: Interpretation and prediction of fast particle irradiation impact by data-containing codes.
abstract: The problem of interpretation, estimation and prediction of impacts of nature or artificial irradiation on various materials by modern nuclear reaction codes is discussed. Advanced data-containing codes EMPIRE and TALYS are considered. The yields of radioactive isotopes in high-energy p+(183)W collision are calculated to illustrate the potentialities of the codes for the declared purposes. The reliability of codes of such a type is treated. Measurements of isomeric cross-section ratios and comparison of these experimental results with the calculated ones are proposed as a promising test of the reliability.
