NEA Data Bank Nuclear Data Services: NRDC

The Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network (NRDC)

The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data services as part of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network (NRDC). This is a world-wide co-operation of nuclear data centres, under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

More information about the NRDC and recent status of EXFOR compilations can be found on:

www-nds.iaea.org/nrdc

The NRDC objectives and tasks are to:

  • compile experimental nuclear data and bibliographic information;
  • collect evaluated nuclear data;
  • exchange nuclear data of all types with other data centres;
  • promote the development of special purpose evaluated data files;
  • develop common formats for computerised exchange of nuclear data;
  • co-ordinate the development of computer software for managing and disseminating nuclear data;
  • document current and future data needs in order to be able to meet changing user demands.

The NRDC includes two types of data centres:

  • Core centres provide co-ordinated, worldwide customer services covering the entire range of nuclear data services. Data compiled and collected at these centres is exchanged on a regular basis and therefore is identical in content (to within a few weeks);
  • Specialised centres provide an essential complement to the core centres by assuming responsibility for the collection and dissemination of data of a specialised type or application. These centres do not normally provide the entire range of services offered by the core centres.
