An essential role in developing "Reactor Physics" was played by the European-American Committee on Reactor Physics (EACRP), which was later renamed to Nuclear Energy Agency Reactor Physics Committee (NEACRP), when Japan joined. International cooperation in this field was established, information was exchanged that was not available in the literature, common projects were set-up and completed, friendships have developed, and overall an outstanding progress was achieved. This Committee was then reorganised together with others, which gave birth to the Nuclear Science Committee in 1992.
The table given below shows when and where this Committee held its meetings, and who formed the Bureau of the Committee. Many scientists who have contributed to this effort, can regretfully not all be listed here. We wish to acknowledge here however the outstanding work of many of these pioneers.
