The NEA International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP), International Reactor Physics Experiments Evaluation Project (IRPhEP), International Assay Data of Spent Nuclear Fuel DatabaseTechnical Review Groups, and the Shielding Integral Benchmark Archive and Database (SINBAD) Task Force were set up to compile and evaluate critical, subcritical, shielding and reactor physics experimental data into standardised benchmarks published within handbooks. These handbooks allow scientists to use experimental data for the validation of calculation tools and nuclear data libraries.

The Technical Review Groups and Task Forces for these projects will meet during the week of 14-18 April 2025 to review the current status of the activities and to approve new entries. The meetings will be hosted by Jozef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia. 

The exact days dedicated to ICSBEP, IRPhEP, SFCOMPO and SINBAD reviews will be defined at a later date depending on the evaluations submitted to each project. The order will remain, SINBAD, SFCOMPO, IRPhEP, ICSBEP.

The tentative schedule is:

JSI will host technical tours in conjunction with the meeting which are expected to take place on Wednesday late afternoon.
