| Summary: | Nuclear fusion seems to be a good choice of energy source in the future. Nickel is one of the crucial structural materials for fusion devices. In this work, the cross section data of 58Ni(n,p)58Co, 60Ni(n,p)60Co, 61Ni(n,p)61Co, 62Ni(n,p)62Co and 64Ni(n,p)64Co reactions were calculated using the nuclear codes ALICE/ASH, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.8. In addition, the cross sections were calculated with the empirical formulas obtained in our previous paper at 14–15 MeV. The obtained results were compared with the measured values in the literature, and with the evaluated data files (JEFF-3.3, TENDL-2017, ENDF/B-VIII.0). Keywords: ALICE/ASH, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.8 codes, Empirical formula, (n,p) reaction cross section, Nickel isotopes
