Opacity project - Astrophysical and fusion applications

An overview is presented of a project to calculate large quantities of accurate atomic data for radiative processes of importance in the precise determination of opacities in stellar atmospheres, and for astrophysical and laboratory applications in general. Work is in progress on the oscillator strengths, photoionization cross sections, damping constants, etc., for all atoms and ions in hydrogen through neon isoelectronic sequences going up to iron.
