JEFF Stakeholder Workshop

The NEA Data Bank held its first JEFF Stakeholder Workshop at the NEA conference centre in Boulogne-Billancourt on 6 and 7 June 2019.

Scope of the workshop:

The Data Bank wishes to engage at a strategy or decision-making level, with those institutional stakeholders that represent the end-users of nuclear data in different nuclear sectors.

It is under this context that the Management Board of the Data Bank (MBDAV) has endorsed the organization of a JEFF Stakeholders workshop with the objective to engage and re-strengthen the link of JEFF to the end-users of nuclear data, in particular within the industry or safety authorities, and to better engage with them from the start of the development of the future JEFF-4 release.

Objectives :

Review and state the needs and motivation that exists today to drive the development of new nuclear data libraries;
Communicate, at the highest level and for the benefit of a broad range of stakeholders, on the nuclear data activities that are co-ordinated by the NEA Data Bank in order to sustain the safe and effective use of nuclear technologies;
Launch discussions to explore potential new orientations or partnerships within JEFF and the NEA Data Bank that may facilitate the above expectations to be met;
