  Recent improvements to the Cascade-Exciton Model (CEM) of nuclear reactions
are briefly described. They concern mainly the cascade stage of reactions and a
better description of nuclei during the preequilibrium and evaporation stages
of reactions. The development of the CEM concerning fission is given in a
separate talk at this conference. The increased accuracy and predictive power
of the CEM are shown by several examples. Possible further improvements to the
CEM and other models are discussed.
