A workshop on the Evaluation of Uncertainties in Relation to Severe Accidents and Level II Probabilistic Safety Analysis will be be held on 7-9 November 2005 in Cadarache, France. A level II probabilistic safety analysis assesses the consequences of a severe accident in terms of the radioactivity released into the environment. The workshop is being organised in collaboration with the French Institut de radioprotection et de sûreté nucléaire (IRSN). More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/workshops/psa-level2/index.html.

Forthcoming workshops and seminars
The NEA Nuclear Science Committee has established an expert group to study the current status of, and future needs for, nuclear science research and test facilities, and to propose actions to meet these needs. The resulting study will aim to promote international collaboration in the development of new nuclear technologies. The expert group met for the first time on 19 May 2005 at NEA headquarters. A second meeting is planned for December 2005. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/science/egrfs/.
The Second International Workshop on the Indemnification of Nuclear Damage took place on 18-20 May 2005 in Bratislava, Slovak Republic. Workshop participants examined the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage and its interaction with the Paris Convention regime through discussions of two fictitious scenarios. The first scenario involved a fire in a nuclear installation located in the Slovak Republic resulting in the release of significant amounts of radioactive materials into the atmosphere; the second involved a fire on board a ship transporting enriched uranium hexafluoride along the Danube River. Both scenarios allowed participants to evaluate the compensation mechanisms which would be implemented in countries where nuclear damage had occurred. The workshop attracted 127 participants from 28 countries, the majority of which were NEA member countries. The workshop was co-organised with Nuclear Regulatory Authority of the Slovak Republic.
A new version of the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion Nuclear Data Library, JEFF-3.1, was released following a meeting of the JEFF Scientific Co-ordination Group on 4 May 2005. The library contains evaluated nuclear data compiled at the NEA Data Bank in co-operation with several laboratories in Data Bank member countries. The complete JEFF-3.1 library suite contains:
