Evaluation Guide - Revision 8.9 (20 January 2006)


Area reserved for evaluators (requires password)


Scope of the IRPhE Listserver


This listeserver has been established following a recommendation made by participants in the OECD-NEA International Reactor Physics Experiments Evaluation Project (IRPhE) Technical Review meeting on 27-28 October 2004. The objective of the Expert Group is to:

  • compile high quality experiments for the International Reactor Physics Experiments Evaluation Project (IRPhE). Priority is given to experiments which the member country experts recognise as being of particular value for their present and future nuclear power programmes;
  • evaluate this data through review and by organising technical review meetings. Take initiatives so that the final evaluations may be adopted as an international standard;
  • publish the resulting evaluations and make them available through the NEA.


This listserver should be used to facilitate communication between all those involved with the IRPhE compilation, evaluation and review. Users may be added also who agree to provide feedback on the use of the data and further evaluate it. 

Excluded will be topics that are judged not relevant to this scope.

More information on the IRPhE Project can be found in: IRPhE including request form for latest Edition.

Status of IRPhE evaluations

Other rules

  • In order to facilitate archive searches, the SUBJECT in the message should contain at the beginning the name of the experiment discussed in the message.
  • The list-moderators reserve the right to final determination of the appropriateness of a given posting or frequency of posting (present moderators are: Blair Briggs and Enrico Sartori).
  • When replying quote only enough text from the original message to make your message meaningful. Lengthy messages with many levels of quoting waste bandwidth and are difficult to read.
  • Avoid when possible posting encoded files or file attachments to the IRPhE listserver. The preferred mode is ASCII. Provide Web addresses for downloading reports rather than send them with the message. Enclosed coded files (Word, Html, Pdf) appear on many sites as garbled information.
  • Some messages will point to files that will be password protected. Only members will be allowed to access these files.
  • If your response is of interest to only one recipient, send it via private e-mail.
  • Include your e-mail address somewhere in the body of your message so that people can respond to you directly rather than clutter the list.
  • Commercial postings are not allowed on the IRPhE Listserver except for postings of meeting announcements and educational opportunities by non-profit and not-for-profit. Posts are not to exceed 25 lines.
  • E-mail accounts which bounce large quantities of error messages back to the Listserver will be un-subscribed. If you find that you have been inadvertently un-subscribed, simply try re-subscribing.
  • Opinions expressed on the list are solely those of the individual authors unless otherwise indicated.
  • The IRPhE listserver archives are considered to be copyrighted by the list owner, but single messages belong to the message originators
  • If you have questions or problems with the IRPhE listserver that you cannot solve, e-mail to rocher@nea.fr, not through the IRPhE mailing list.
