-1 Consultants' Meeting on
Technical Aspects of the Co-operation of
Nuclear Reaction Data Centers
IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria
1-3 September 1992
Introduction
The IAEA Nuclear Data Section convenes in anuual intervals co-ordination meetingsof the Network of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers. The last meeting, with center heads
and technical staff present, took place in Obninsk, Russia, 7-11 October 1991. See the report
INDC(NDS)-262. The present meeting was attended by technical staff only to discusstechnical matters of the nuclear data compilation and exchange by means of the jointly
operated computerized systems CINDA, EXFOR, ENDF and others.
Traditionally, for these technical meetings, the participants used to attend at their own
cost. Under the present conditions this would not have been possible for some of the centers.
Despite of the difficult financial situation of the Agency, it was possible to provide financial
support to some of the participants.
Two Russian participants attended from CJD Obninsk and CAJaD Moscow.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to support three Russian participants. Therefore, theMoscow Photonuclear Data Center was, unfortunately, not represented at this meeting.
Dr. Varlamov will, however, have the opportunity to travel to the US Nuclear Data Centerin Brookhaven in October, so that photonuclear data matters can be discussed there.
For the first time, a representative from the ATOMKI Institute in Debrecen, Hungary,participated in the network meeting. It is hoped that the participation of this group will bring
additional ideas into the network, to the goal to produce charged-particle nuclear reaction data
files for several applications. The need for such specialized data files has been emphasizedalready years ago by several Agency meetings in the fields of proton-beam monitoring,
medical applications, and intermediate energy data.
It was appreciated that the Chinese Nuclear Data Center was represented by twoparticipants, one for neutron data, the other for charged particle data.
Two Japanese charged particle data activities at the RIKEN institute and at the Sapporo
University were represented. It is hoped very much that both will find continuing support
for their activities.
Last but not least the representatives from the National Nuclear Data Center in
Brookhaven and from the NEA Data Bank shall be mentioned. With these two centers the
Agency's Nuclear Data Section had very close contacts in the past year when the new VAX
computer was; installed and many of the database management systems were transferred fromthe VAX computers at Brookhaven and Saclay to our VAX computer. The phase oftransition from the IBM to the VAX computer is not yet finished, and some of the technicalimplications were on the agenda for discussion at the present meeting.

Manpower situation at the
Neutron Reaction Data Centers
NNDC:
After a sharp decrease in the annual number of neutron data measurements in the early
1980's, the situation has stabilized at a level of about 110 data sets ( = EXFOR subentries)
per year in the period 1987 to present. The reduced manpower at NNDC is used such thatmost but not all data are compiled in EXFOR. CINDA is complete only for publishedexperimental data. (NDS has coded the ENDF index lines and some entries for nonexperimental data).
NEA-DB:The decrease in the annual number of neutron data measurements in West Europe andJapan occurred less drastic than in the US. The present rate (1989 to present) may be at alevel of 270 data sets per year. The completeness of compilation seriously suffered from ahalf year's post vacancy. The manpower may be hardly sufficient to cover new data, but not
to catch up with the accumulated backlog.
NDS:
The rate of data measurements in the NDS service area (countries outside OECD andformer USSR) is strongly fluctuating, e.g. 60 data sets in 1988 compared to 160 in 1989.
After a post vacancy a year ago the compilation manpower at present is adequate. Somebacklog from the vacancy period is still being worked on.
C.TD:
The average rate of data measurements in the former USSR countries is around 120
data sets per year with some fluctuations. The manpower will be adequate after a vacant post
for CINDA will have been filled. The main problem is the continuing delay in thecompilation and transmission of new data due to communication problems.
Programming manpower:
A lack of programming manpower is encountered in all centers to an extent thatimportant updates in data processing computer codes, specifically codes for data checking anddata plotting, as well as code changes required for new data types, cannot be implemented.
Conclusion:
Centers are urged to find means, e.g. by hiring consultants, to do urgent programming(jointly for all those centers that use a VAX computer) and to do the compilation backlog.
It is emphasized that the EXFOR neutron reaction database represents an enormous value
which will deteriorate fast if it is not kept up-to-date.

Numbers should be treated wit caution: For example, most of the evaluation work for
ENDF formatted files is done in the center in the case of CJD, and externally in thecase of NNDC and DB. Centers have different specialities such as CINDA bookproduction at NDS. Customer services are mostly on-line at NNDC and DB, and by
shipment of tapes at the other centers.

The Co-ordination of the CPND Centers
The active CPND centers compiling integral CPND in EXFOR, are now:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)

CAJaD, Russia
CNDC, China
ATOMKI, Hungary
RIKEN, Japan
NDS, IAEA (few data at low priority)
NNDC, USA (few data at low priority)

In addition, differential CPND are converted from the Japanese NRDF file into
EXFOR by
(7)

JCPRG, Japan

Centers (1) to (6) have overlapping fields of interest, so that a simple formula forcompilation responsibilities is not possible.
The overall co-ordination responsibility to avoid duplication remains with
F. Chukreev, CAJaD. It is realized, however, that there are communication problems aslong as CAJaD cannot be reached by FAX or e-mail. As an interim measure, it isrecommended to contact CAJaD through V. Varlamov, CDFE, FAX 0959395034, e-mail
VARLAMOV@COMPNET.NPIMSU.MSK.SU, but to send a copy also by normal mail for
safety.

-6A.

The main interest is in proton beam monitor reactions and in reactions for medical
radioisotopes production. In this area it is assumed that centers (1) to (4) give priority
for compiling data from their own country.
If, for example, ATOMKI wishes to have in EXFOR some Japanese data, this data
should be requested from RIKEN; only in the case that RIKEN has no manpower tocompile and transmit the requested data fast, this should be compiled at Debrecen.
When wishing to compile data from other countries, each center should inform theother centers of this intention, so that these centers avoid to start compilation of thesame data at the same time. CAJaD has the responsibility to check for duplication andinform the centers accordingly.

B.

Interest exists also in the compilation of the following data types:-

Neutron source reactions: NDS, NNDC, CAJaD
Reactions for activation analysis and thin layer activation techniques: ATOMKIIntermediate energy data: CAJaD
Differential CPND: JCPRG

In these cases centers should undertake appropriate consultations with F. Chukreev andamong the centers to avoid incidental duplication of compilation.

P

ll)RecomAll

The originating center will coordinate program updates. Eachcenter is invited to update the (VAX)EXFOR check program andother programs. Centers should communicate their intention to
update a program to the originating center before any updates aredone in order to avoid duplication of programming. Suggested
updates should be transmitted to the originating center. Only theoriginating center will transmit corrected versions to the othercenters.

EXFOR, generalD12) Concl.

Memo CP-S/9208 is accepted with the modification: A-BNT- isreplacing BNTA-; the report code BNAL is not needed. The entry
in TRANS-S005 containing BNAL will be retransmitted by
CNDC.

D

13) Concl.

New country codes, as proposed in memos CP-D/228 and
CP-D/229, are approved.

14) Act Blokhin

To clarify status of Dubna institute (still international?).

15) Act CJD

To inform NDS whenever an institute name is changed.

16) Concl.

It is confirmed that the unit-keyword MEV/A is accepted in
EXFOR; this requires programming for converting it to MeV inindexing and plotting programs (memo CP-D/225).

L,D 17) Act McLane

To update and submit dictionary 36 entries on photonuclear
quantities (with expansions) and to make appropriate changes in
Lexfor entry. (See memo CP-C/200 and reply in CP-D/219.)

D18) Concl.

RSD (residual nucleus) in REACTION SF7 approved; however,to solve all thinkable cases, a nuclide code in SF7 may have to be
introduced as soon as programming manpower is available. It
should be noted also that RSD in SF8 has a different meaning andconfusions could occur. It was agreed also that RSD in SF7 may
be used only when no particle code applies.

L,D 19) Concl.

The high and low energy components of a cross section (HEN,SIG
and LEN,SIG, resp.) are evaluated quantities so far used forphotonuclear data only. They will be added to LEXFOR under anappropriate heading.

L

To provide Lexfor entry for energy spectra of particle pairs andPAR,SIG,P/T.

P20) Act McLane

To update dictionary 36 accordingly, possibly introducing longer
expansions for these quantities.

D22) Act NDS

Submit new codes for renamed journals.

23) Coracl.

D24) Concl.

The journal code JSIU is accepted.

P25) Recom All

The interactive renormalization of EXFOR data, for plotting andprocessing, should be considered.

26) Recom CNDC Try out the computation format of NNDC (output option of the
program COFFEE).
MD27) Act McLane

If manpower permits, update the EXFOR manual and inform NDS
whether it will be possible.

28) Act NNDC

To verify whether the conversion of the temporary EXFOR files
6, 7 and 8 has been finished; if not, remind the centers what still
has to be done.

29) Concl.

It is essential that, in case of several bibliographic references in an
EXFOR entry, the primary reference is given first; it is thisreference which is used by computer codes (plotting) to identify
the dataset.

30) Comcl.

Corrections done to an EXFOR entry must be described briefly
under HISTORY. Flags have to be written in column 80 toindicate which records were altered/inserted/deleted; to know what
has been changed is most essential to receiving data centers andcustomers. The style of HISTORY entries should be such that it
is understandable by external customers and not only by data
centers staff.

31) Act All

Retransmit those entries listed in McLane1 s list of pending
retransmissions.

32) Act NDS

The structuring of information in certain dictionaries will betransmitted in the next dictionary transmission as proposed in

COMMON/DATA section, they must be coded under ERRANALYS, i.e., coding under ERR-ANALYS is now obligatory
also in the case of only a single DATA-ERR column. (Change ofwording in EXFOR Manual under ERR-ANALYS).

M,P 38) Concl.

39) Act NNDC

To update the EXFOR manual Chapter 7 (dictionaries) on
dictionary 6: how to invent report codes for annual reports without
a report code on the cover. Accepted procedure is A-(3-digit
labcode from diet. 3, e.g. A-ALB-.).

Neutron EXFOR compilation and completeness40) Information
Nordborg

Dr. Moxon (UK) has unpublished old neutron data waiting for
EXFOR compilation. NEA-DB will compile them as soon as
available manpower permits, which is however hardly sufficient tocover new data.

Fission-product yield data
41) Act NNDC
and NDS

The FY-CRP meeting requested that EXFOR retrievals by fissionproduct nuclides be possible. While the NDS EXFOR index
provides this possibility, it is not yet possible in the VAX EXFOR

49) Act NEA-DB
andl NNDC

To update EXFOR manual and CINDA manual with information
about using diskettes (which format and density etc.) for
EXFOR/CINDA transmissions. CAJaD and CNDC can accept
only 5.25 inch diskettes, while the other centers can accept bothdiskette formats.

60) Act NEA-DB

To distribute JEF-2 to the other neutron-data centers(Dr. Nordborg, NEA-DB: "JEF-2 will be released before
Christmas, it will not include complete pointwise data").

61) Act CJD

NDS had received a preliminary file of BROND-2, mainly forconsideration in the FENDL project. CJD is asked to transmit the
final BROND-2 as soon as possible.

62) Act All

When preparing evaluated data libraries, characteristic values(thermal cross sections, resonance integrals, etc.) should be quoted
in the text or in accompanying documents together with theiruncertainties: however, these values (and uncertainties) would bebetter usable if they were in a computer-readable file.

REQUEST STATISTICS*******************
191 Requests for data and documents from 21 institutes wereanswered in 1991-92. In table 3 the requests statistics areattached. We see a strong increase in the requests for evaluateddata and corresponding documents. It can be explained by the factthat the new evaluated data libraries were released in 1990-92.

EVALUATED DATA***************In 1990-91 the CJD obtained a large number of new evaluatedneutron data libraries. Significant efforts were required to makethese libraries available to customers. Most of these libraries
were adapted on micro-VAX and PC computers.
CJD produced the following libraries:"BROND-2" - documented in J-,YK,1991,v.2,3 (in engl.) and
R., IAEA-NDS-90 (1992);"BOFOD-90" - the evaluated photo-neutron data library for 27
materials, documented in J.,YK,1992,v.3 (in russ.);"DECDAT" - the decay data library for 2234 radionuclides,
documented in J.,YK,1992,v.4 (in press);
COMPUTER********
Up till now we have used the EC mainframe for the operation
with the EXFOR and CINDA systems. Today we have four PC/AT
computers and an access to micro-VAX. In the near future the main
event will be the transition from the EC mainframe to a micro-VAX
computer. In this respect we would like to consider a possibilityof adaptation of the NNDC maintance programs for the EXFOR and
CINDA systems.

A. I. Bl okhi n, M. V. Mi khayl ukova
The ASIYAD-MIFI fission product yield library were realisedon 12 february 1992 by the Centre po Jadernym Dannym (CJD) on two
magnetic diskettes. This library includes the independent fission
product yield data and consists from two parts:
part 1: ASIYADP1.FPY - the data for U-232, 233, 234, 235,
236, 237, 238, 239 andNp-236, 237, 238, 239.
part 2: ASIYADP2.FPY - the data for Pu-236, 239, 240, 241,
242, 243;
Am-241, 242, 243 and Cm-245.
The ASIYAD-MIFI fission product yield lfbrary i s in ENDF-6
format and has N-LIB=44 for identifying the library. The originalformat of numerical arrays was converted to ENDF-6 format by CJD.

A. I. Bl okhi n, N. N. Bui eeva, S. M. Nasyrova, 0. A. Pakhomova(Institute of Physics and Power Engineering, Obninsk)
This i s the preliminary version of the evaluated photo-neutron
data library for 27 materials from Be-009 to Am-243. The BOFOD-90
library i s in "ENDF-6" format and has N-LIB=42 for identifying
the library. We used next Mi's numbers for the photo-nuclear
reacti ons:
MT= 4 for (G,N) reaction;
MT=16 for (G,2N) reaction;
MT=18 for (G.fiss) reaction;
MT=10 sum of (G,N), (G,2N) and (G,fiss) reactions or their
combi nati on.
In table the materials included in in the BOFOD-90 library
are listed. A complete summary description of the evaluations in
the BOFOD-90 library i s given in J. ,YK,1992,v. 3 (in press). Plotsof data are published in the report INDC(CCP)-337,1991. The
complete data tables are contained on 1 PC diskette and available
from the authors.

Conversion of Rider's quasi-exfor ENTRIES
for the area 4 into EXFOR-format.
Appendix 4

S. A. Maev, A. I.Blokhin, V. N. Manokhin
Having obtained the QUASI-EXFOR file of ENTRIES compiled by
Micky and Rider, we have checked the existing Area-4 l i s t of
ENTRIES havihg in mind to obtain the correspondence between theboth sets of data. I t appeared that some of the existing Area-4
ENTRIES coincide with Rider's ones, other Rider's ENTRIES are
totally new. The results of such activity are the follows.
Correspondence of the existing Area-4 ENTRIES to the Rider's:
Existing Entry 40145 corresponds to Rider's 90517;
Existing Entry 40173 corresponds to Rider's 90365(in part);
Existing Entry 40205 corresponds to Rider's 90577;
Existing Entry 40206 corresponds to Rider's 90615;
Exi sti ng Entry 40389 corresponds to Ri der's 90578( i n part);
Existing Entry 40489 corresponds to Rider's 90755;
Existing Entry 40545 corresponds to Rider's 90751;
Existing Entry 40554 corresponds to Rider's 90691(in part).
Entry 90365 was included entirely in 40173 on the reason
that i t s data systematically unify those dispersed in various
Subentri es of Entry 40173. Entry 90691 i s converted to 41086
because i t s figures differ slightly from those of 40554. On thatreason all Subents of 41086 bear Status code RNORM.
The following Rider's ENTRIES were absent in our library andwere converted to the new Area-4 ENTRIES according to the l i s t ofcorrespondence given below:
Rider's ENTRY 90201 i s converted to AREA-4 ENTRY 41070
Rider's ENTRY 90205 i s converted to AREA-4 ENTRY 41071
Rider's ENTRY 90214 i s converted to AREA-4 ENTRY 41072
Rider's ENTRY 90215 i s converted to AREA-4 ENTRY 41073
Rider's ENTRY 90319 i s converted to AREA-4 ENTRY 41074

To: Distribution.
From: Liang Qichang, CNDC,. P. R*. China
Subject: The activity on EXFOR compilation and exchange in China
According to the research contract to IAEA,, recently years, manyefforts have been paid to develop the EXFOR software system for nuclear
data compilation and to compile the EXFOR nuclear data measured in
China,. Now the PC EXFOR software system, which includes three parts,.
i» e. Edition, Check, and Retrieval, has been completed basically andused in the EXFOR compilation.
The main purpose of EXFOR work in CNDC is the data compilation
itself, and it will be a long-term task, in order to coordinate theactivity on. EXFOR nuclear data compilation in China, the Network for
EXFOR data compilation consisted of several institutes and universities
has been established in 199Q* since then, we have compiled 38 EXFOR
entries in all, checked by using above mentioned software system, andsent them to IAEA as follows:
TRANS-3OOO (NOV.,1989), h entries:32501-32503, 32508.
TRANS-3001 (MAR,,,199O)> 5 entries:325O^-325O7, 32509,
TRANS-3002 (MAY ,1992), 7 entries:32510r 32511t 32513, 32576-32579.
TRANS-3OO3 (AUG»,1992), 22 entries:325l6-32525, 32528-32538,
Now the a d d i t i o n a l hard disk provided by IAEA has been i n s t a l l e d
i n our MICRO-VAX-2 computer, we a l s o have received the whole EXFOR
d a t a l i b r a r y from IAEA, we hope t o load i t i n the disk as soon as
p o s s i b l e , and o n - l i n e serve the u s e r s *By the way r the CENDL-2, ENDF/B-6,. JENDL-3, and BROND-2 were
online s e r v i c e s t o u s e r s by CNDC.

The main subject of data compilation in CAJaD
S.Y. Babykina
Kurchatov Center
After the conference in Obninsk the CAJaD has paid attention
to the software for personal IBM compatible computers of both
domestic and foreign production.
This problem has occurred also with the possible switching of
the CAJaD database to the VAX computer.
The input of data is implemented in CAJaD by means of the EDIT
program developed by W.J. Paul. We could share the experienceacquired in the utilization of this program. The system of macros
used in the program is very convenient and proves to be more
universal as compared to the input code submitted by V. Osorio.
During the conference in Obninsk the CAJaD demonstrated
running the text-checking EXFOR program developed for IBM
compatible PC's. During the last year a number of corrections wasmade in the program aimed at better quality of checking.
Following recommendations of Obninsk conference of Centers we
prepared TRANS A02 6 which contains corrections to codes submitted
already and includes separate SUBENTRY's and not complete ENTRY'S.
We would be grateful to our colleagues from BNL and NDS for theirremarks which could help us to find out possible errors in our
technology.
It would be relevant to acknowledge remarks of V. McLane
concerning this subject.
During last year we developed two TRANS (A026 and A027) one ofwhich was submitted earlier to the International network of data
centers. At present we compile papers submitted to the conference"Nuclear data for science and technology" (Jiilich, May 13-17,
1991).
These experimental data are, in our opinion, of greatinterest for users and should be included in the "Generalized
EXFOR" library as soon as possible.

- 30 Requests of scientists related to the consequences of theChernobyl catastrophe necessitated our efforts for compilation ofexperimental data concerning interactions of alpha-particles andprotons with light nuclei ranging from Li to Cl.
For detecting fuel compositions in soils we developed a codefor the calculation of neutron yield due to alpha-particles
emitted by long-living (more than one year) radioactive nuclides.
According to present regulations trans are transmitted onmagnetic tapes.
Now the data transmission of IBM compatible
floppy disks is also widespread.
This is quite understandable
since the second way is more reliable, convenient and cheap.
As to the Center of neutron data, we are not aware of thevolume of information transmitted by him and thus we cannot makeany conclusion whether this method is convenient for the Center.
For information transmitted by our Center the floppy disk is
sufficient.
In the cases when transmitted information requiredlarger memory volume it is expedient to use archivization of data.
We suggest:-

to legalize transmission of data on IBM compatible floppy
disks;
to set a unified code for data archivization.

M.E.Stepanov
CDFE, Institute of Nuclear Physics,
Moscow State University, Moscow 119899, Russia

This report contains the review of the works carried out by the
CDFE after the 11th IAEA Consultant's Meeting of the Nuclear Reaction
Data Centers (Obninsk/Moscow, 7 - 1 1 October, 1991).
NEW COMPUTER. The main concern of the CDFE during this year was
the problem of new mainframe to substitute the: 10 years old computer"ES-1022". During the 11th IAEA Consultant's Meeting the Centre hadat disposal only IBM PC/AT-286, which can not solve any of significant
CDFE's problems.
Now the CDFE in addition

VARLAMOV@COMPNET.NPIMSU.MSK.SU
Another concern associated with the new type of computer was the
problem of new software for photonuclear data processing. The CDFE has
tried to solve this problem by various methods. For example,
ANDEX(A PC Software Assisting the Nuclear Data Compilation in EXFOR, by

- 32 V.psorio, IAEA NDS) has been installed on PHILIPS. As a result ofgreat efforts the CDFE have now a certain possibilities to continue
some kinds of its activity.
EXFOR. In accordance with the Draft Proposal of Photonuclear Data
Cooperation Project between the MSU INP CDFE and the USA BNL NNDC of 7
June 1991 the CDFE prepared the new TRANS M016 which includes 21 new
EXFOR ENTRIES. The data for 5 of them have been received by e-Mailfrom Drs. S.I.Warshaw (USA LLNL) and J.Ahrens (Mainz, Germany). This
new CDFE TRANS M016 in the form of file on PC diskette is a supplement
to this Status report.
Sticking the photonuclear data evaluation program the CDFE haveprocessed a lot of data having been digitized previously in the USA
Institute of Standards and Technology (former USA NBS, photonuclear
data group of Prof. E.G.Fuller) and kindly given to Dr. V.V.Varlamov
during his visit to USA BNL in 1991. The data in forms of EXFOR DATA'stables have been used for the analysis of total photoneutron reaction

cross sections for large number of nuclei fromLi to
U. Theevaluation of these cross sections for energy range of giant dipole
resonance ( E = 10-5-50 MeV) has been done for several nuclei ( C,0,63.65CU)

141prj208pb

The method of reduction, independent on nuclear models, a priori
information,
and any regularization was used as the tool forphotonuclear reaction cross section evaluation 'ENSDF, NSR. In addition to EXFOR-activity the CDFE has continued
the activity in the field of using the other international computer
files such as ENSDF and NSR both for investigations of nuclear shells
and subshells as processing of requests of Russia scientists at firstfrom universities and institutes. But new IBM PC type computer demands
the new kind of software for these files operation.
INFORMATIONAL PUBLICATIONS. Sticking the program of photonuclear
data
information
publication
the CDFE has published the new
Photonuclear Data Index. ThisIndex
continues the series ofprevious CDFE publications which contain the systematized information
about the experimental works on photo- and electronuclear reactions
and inverse reactions of radiative capture. The Index includes thefeatures of experimental methods have been used in works, physical- 33 -

results obtained, bibliography, and index of authors of the works
carried out during the 1986 - 1990. The Index also in form of data
file on PC diskette has been sent to the IAEA NDS for distribution
abroad Russia.
Though PHILIPS computer gives to the CDFE the possibility tocontinue some kinds of nuclear data activity the CDFE would like tohave the more powerful one, for example, MICRO-VAX, or VAX-STATION. So
the CDFE would like ask IAEA NDS about possible help again.

NEA DATA BANK Progress Reportto the NRDC Meeting in Vienna, Sept.1992

GENERAL
The major event at the Data Bank in 1992, has been our
relocation to new premises at lie St.Germain, just outside Pariscity limits, which finally took place in July. Naturally, such a
move has meant a change in all forms of communication to thedata bank i.e., phone, fax, and e-mail. All known users have been
contacted to inform them of these changes.
At present we are still in a transitional period. Our computersremain at Saclay, together with a skeleton staff, until installationof the new VAX at Issy-les-Moulineaux, which is expected to takeplace in September. Some scientific staff split their time between
the new and old premises, so in the event a staff member cannot bereached at Issy, customers have been advised to try their old number
at Saclay.
At present all e-mail addresses remain unchanged, although we havebeen experiencing considerable network problems in recent months.
Upon installation of the new machine the addresses will change;
only BITNET will remain the same.

NUCLEAR DATA SERVICES
Following the departure of Simon Webster in July 1991 all work on
CINDA and EXFOR was temporarily suspended until January 1992, when
his position was filled. Since then, work has concentrated on
clearing the backlog with varying degrees of success.

CINDA:In 1992, four exchange batches have been dispatched. Last years
backlog, including all Julich Conference references, has beencleared, and with the next batch, presently being compiled, it isexpected that Area 2 journal coverage will be current. Lab report
are expected to take a little longer to compile given the difficultyin obtaining the relevant documents. This difficulty arises partly
as a result of the breakdown of the Reader network.
A version of the CINDA database for use on Personal Computers has
been developed at the Data Bank.

- 35 EXFOR:In 1991 four EXFOR data tapes were produced and transmitted toother data centres. Upon the departure of Simon Webster, aconsiderable backlog already existed. Since then, no further EXFOR
compilation has taken place due to lack of manpower. EXFOR activity
has been reduced to loading of exchange tapes from other Areas.
It is envisaged that some EXFOR compilation will recommence before
the end of the year. The greatest perceived problem is the difficultyin checking the correctness of the compiled entries. To this end, it
is likely that the ANDEX program will be employed.

On-line accesses to the databases in 1991 were down by about 15%
on 1990 levels. The projected total for 1992 is expected to remainroughly equivalent to 1991 levels, at just below 1000 retrievals.
Manual requests for data and documents in 1991 remained close to
the figures for 1990, with 242 requests from 87 different requestors.
The main items requested were: JEF data (40%), other evaluateddata (25%) and EXFOR data (14%). The high level of manual request
activity in 1992: suggests that figures will once again be comparablewith previo\is years.

JOINT EVALUATED FILE (JEF)
The latest version of the Joint Evaluated File, JEF-2.2, wasreleased at the end of 1991. Also, the JEF-2.2 version of theRadioactive Decay data file was compiled at the data bankduring 1991.
A PC computer code for displaying alpha and gamma radiations fromthe JEF-2.2 Decay Data file was developed for the Data Bank at the
University of Birmingham, U.K., and is expected to be released
shortly.

STATUS OF THE RIKEN NUCLEAR DATA GROUP

Consultants' Meeting of the NRDC for Technical Aspects
Vienna, 1-3 September 1992 =Y. Tendow
EXFOR
We continue to collect production cross section data for 20 medical
isotopes as well as some other related isotopes. Although the bulk of themhas already been incorporated into the EXFOR master file, not a small
number of important works are still left untouched. At the moment, wehave found and collected about 50 works not included in the EXFOR, andstarted on the compilation of them. We have transmitted the trans R007
(corrected trans R006) to NDS.

ENSDF, NSR
We continue the mass-chain evaluation as a member of the ENSDF
working group under the Sigma Committee in JAERI. Re-evaluation or
update for A = 129 is now in progress. NSR file compilation for 1991
secondary sources of Japanese origin has completed and transmitted to
NNDC. We have started on the compilation for 1992 secondary sources.

Computers
We are using the mainframe computer FACOM Ml800/20, 128 MB main
memories and 256 MB system memories, 120 GB disks, 400 GB MT
library) running under double operating system, MSP (IBM compatible) and
UXP/M (UNIX). We are using several PC's also for primary input and preprocessing of data. Some of the PCs are as follows:
FUJITSU FM-R70, terminal of the mainframe. 40 MB HD.
NEC PC-9801. 120 MB HD, math, co-processor.
IBM PS/5530 (equivalent to PS/2). 40 MB HD, math, co-processor.
Macmtoslrllei. 100MBHD.

- 38 -We also have a VAX network system (FACOM M380, VAX6510,
workstations, etc.) in the RIKEN Accelerator Facility area, linked to themainframe. We are not extensively using them for data compilation works
at the moment but are considering to utilize them inr future.
Staff
There are no apparent changes in the staff this year. But practically, theman-power is in a decreasing tendency because some members can afford tospare less time than ever. Efforts to enhance man-power are being
continued.

Japan Charged-Particle Nuclear Reaction Data Group

CPND compiling with NRDP
In 1991, we compiled 56 entries with NRDF format. For these entries, we
present two tables. Table 1 shows number of entries and pysical quntity. Bachfigure indicates the number of entry which contains the physical quntity. Table
2 shows Data Headings of a data table in clomb 1 and 2, and number of datatables which have these Data Headings.
Total number of entries exceeds 1200 in the NRDF library.

Into EXPOR translation
TRANS E010 was submitted to NDS in August. The TRANS contains 29 entries,
which are converted out of those entries compiled in 1991. The converted dataaccounts for 51 % in entry base of the NRDF data compiled in 1991. We have
converted all NRDF data which is possible to translate to EXPOR format. We arestill studying our NRDF format to increase translation rate.

NRDF ANNUAL REPORT 91
Our activities in 1991 is reported in "NRDF ANNUAL REPORT 91". In theReport, compiling of the intermediate energy data is-discussed and NRDF
activitites of the data compiling and the data exchange: are summarized.

Contributions of NRDP in the CPND master file
We have recieved 1467 entries from NDS by May 1992. There are 64 "B" entries
found in the data. We are realzing that contributions of NRDF in the CPND
master file is 4.6 percentfFig]. We are going to do more effort to increase
this figure.

- 40 -

Customer Services in the future
We are are now concentrating our manpower upon CPND compiling with NRDF.
However we realize that Customer services should be emphasized.
We are intending to have new customer sevices for CPND in both NRDF and
EXFOR format. The new services are to be developed through National Center for
Science Information Systems (NCSIS). For details of NACS1S, please consult thepamphlet.
We would like to confirm that there are no problems for/in the network of
Nuclear Dta Centers in the case that such systems would be developed in NACSIS.

Appendix 13(Agenda 4.2)
O.Schwerer

Reference: - Conclusion/Action from 1991 NRDC Meeting(INDC(NDS)-262, p.16, near bottom of: page)- CP-C/203 of 26 September 1991 (attaohod-)-- We (NDS) have updated our VAX dictionary database with TRANS 9064
(the last regular dictionary transmission) and have looked into
the dictionary format as defined in CP-C/203. However, we are notyet familiar with all details of the system; NNDC's cooperation
will be needed in defining new procedures for dictionary transmissions.
- Anyway, NDS will keep the EXFOR systems on the IBM running inparallel to the VAX for some time. Therefore, NDS is preparedto keep sending out the "old-style" dictionary updates.
- We are prepared to transmit in addition any updates required forkeeping the VAX dictionaries up to date because we think it isimportant to have one centre responsible for all dictionaries
to keep them identical.
Some special questions:- How to process interim updates- Rough comparison between "old" and VAX dictionaries,
possible problem areas:- Use of existing dictionary numbers for entirely different
dictionaries (10,11,12,13,14)- Severely modified: dictionaries 24, 27, 33, 36- Omitted: dictionaries 9, 41, 42, 43, (50)- All other dictionaries are modified to some extent too,but have essentially the same (or slightly extended)
content- Special features of dictionary 36 (Quantities):- Expansions restricted to 1 line
- Contains codes not yet approved- Alphabetical sorting of codes, no grouping- 46 Appendix 14

- 48 EXFOR dictionary 20: Additional results (ADD-RES)

Proposal by M.Lammer of a new code for diet. 20:
AMFF(angular momentum of fission fragments)

Background:In some BARC (India) measurements of isomeric yield ratios, the angularmomentum of fragments was deduced. Since there is no EXFOR code forseen
yet for this qu intity, I asked the participants in my CRP on Evaluationof Fission Yields for their opinion:
Would it be sufficient to include the deduced value in free text under
the keyword "ADD-RES" (= additional result), or is it important enoughto introduce a new EXFOR reaction code?
It was the unanimous opinion that no special reaction code should be
introduced, but it was also suggested to introduce a code for ADD-RES to
make this information retrievable.

- 49 EXFOR coding of isomeric fission yield ratios_____________________________________________,. . cAppendix 13

Proposal by M.Lammer of coding rules

Presently, isomeric fission yield ratios are coded with the fission productin REACTION SF4, followed by an isomer ratio code, and _RAT in SF6, e.g.:(92-U-235(N,F)53-I-145-M/G,IND,FY/RAT).
This requires a separate subentry for each isomeric ratio measured.
Up to recently there were only few (1 or 2) isomeric yield ratios determinedin each experiment. However, now we are confronted with longer tables ofisomeric yield measurements (see attachment). Therefore I want to propose theintroduction of a new formalism that enables one the coding of all ratios for
one reaction in one subentry.
Proposal 1:

Allow the combination of ELEM/MASS and an isomeric ratio code in SF4, e.g.
(92-U-23!5(N,F)ELEM/MASS-M/G,IND,FY/RAT).
Advantage: no data heading keywords are needed for the isomeric states.
Drawback: different isomeric ratios like M/G, M/T, M1/M2 cannot be codedin the same subentry.
Proposal 2:

Use existing codes but introduce new data heading keywords:
Reaction code: (92-U-235(N,F)ELEM/MASS,IND,FY/RAT).
Diet. 36: IND,FY/RAT(INDEPENDENT FISS.PROD. YIELD,ISOMERIC RATIO)The isomeric ratios can be defined either by isomer (M, G, T, Ml, etc.),
or by the spins of the isomers, as in the attached example. Accordingly,
I propose 2 different sets of data heading keywords, each with theextensions -NM and -DN for numerator and denominator respectively.
ISOMER-NM and ISOMER-DN with 0., 1., etc. in the data, table, for groundstate, (first) metastable state, etc. Still questionable is whether ablank is adequate for the total (g+m) yield.
SPINISO-KM and SPINISO-DN, if the spin values are given in the data table.
The Lexfor entry on ratios will have to be modified accordingly.

- 55 Pending EXFOR retransmissions

Appendix 19

O.Schwerer, H.Wienke

Please find attached a reminder as for which EXFOR entries are still
pending for retransmission as requested by NNDC and NDS from NNDC,
NEA-DB, NDS, CJD, CAJaD and CDE'E.
When mistakes are found in TRANS tapes, retransmission is requested
for those cases where the correction to be done is not obvious.
According to our records, requests for retransmission remained without
response for the EXFOR entries listed. May we ask each center to review
this list, update the listed entries and retransmit them.
Concerning retransmissions received at NDS, all TRANS tapes received
until 25 August 1992 have been included. However, requests for retransmission distributed by us only recently were not included because theoriginating center has had no chance to react to it until the meeting.

Disturbing mistakes in EXFOR TRANS tapes

O.Schwerer

This time there are not many "typical" errors which can be summarizedeasily. In many TRANS tapes a variety of "incidental" or "one-time"errors were found. Anyway, error summaries were distributed in memos
4C-3/364, 4C-3/362, 4C-3/360, CP-D/224 and CP-D/223.
- Missing HISTORY entries ar.d/or alter flags in retransmissions- In fission-product yield entries (particularly from area 4)
M.Lammer found a number of problems which are summarized in
4C-3/364 and 362. Among other things, they include problems
with ELEM/MASS in REACTION SF4,
monitors for fission yield measurements,and missing METHOD codes.
Redundant, missing or non-specific error headings
e.g.: coding DATA-ERR in the DATA section and mentioning
a total error in free text, which is rather confusing
EN-MIN and/or EN-MAX given in COMMON and EN given in DATA section-

Confusion between ISOMER = 0. and ISOMER = blank
Inconsistency between headings and units(e.g. ARU-UNITS with heading E)

Memo- 64 CNDC-002

2k August 1992
To:
Distribution
From: Liang Qichang, CNDC, P. R. China
Subject: Proposal for ENDF format modification
1. The theoretical and evaluation scientists feel that the highest
order Legendre polynomial NL£20 i s not enough to describe theangular distribution of secondary neutron for medium-heavy nuclides
at higher energy region,, i t i s appropriate to increase the NL up
to ^2. The requirement forr giving the angular and energy distribution of
secondary neutrons emitted by 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ifth chance fission(i.-e,. MF=i+,5 MT=19,20,21 r38) are not necessary even their crosssection have been given in MF=3» because their average number ofneutrons emitted by these chance fission are not given in MF=1
correspondingly, and we can^t obtain the absolute differentail
cross section by following formula:—here m is the neutron multiplicity for reaction, in the case offission, it equals the average number of neutron emitted by eachchance fission.
So I'd like to propose that:.. No longer requir to give the MT=19,20r21,38 for MF=/fr5 in theevaluation even their cross section are given in MF=3» or» To give the average number of neutron emitted by each chance fissionin corresponding section(MT) in MF=1, when the MT=19,2O,21,38 for
MF=3>*t»5 are given in the evaluation.

Reporton the Debrecen Charged Particle Nuclear Reactions Data Groupto the 1992 Technical NRDC Meeting
GENERALThe Debrecen Charged Particle Nuclear Reactions Data Group was founded in
1992 with collaboration of IAEA Nuclear Data Centre and the Hungarian National
Committee for Technological Development.
The main activity areas of the Group are:
1.,
2.,
3.,
4.,

Establishment of a charged particle database for support applications of isotope
production for nuclear medicine, thin layer activation (TLA) technique, charged
particle nuclear analytical methods and monitoring charged particle beams.
Experimental verification of the most important data.
Compilation of experimental data of the above mentioned fields and convert theminto EXFOR format in the frame of Data Centre Network.
Producing evaluated data for the running applications.
ACTIVITIESDATABASE
Concerning the limited number of files of the existing integral charged particle
data used for applications a Personal Computer based system was chosen for storing andprocessing data. ( IBM compatible PC/AT 486 mainframe, hard-disc and floppies,
scanner, e-mail). A WAX computer also available in case of necessity at the University
computer centre.
EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Excitation functions of (p,xn) reactions on natTi for monitoring bombarding proton
beams have been measured and prepared for publication. Measurement of excitation
functions of other monitor reactions and reactions used for medical isotope production
have been started.
EXFOR
In 1992 installation of the PC version of the computer codes for EXFOR software(edition, retrieval) and for EXFOR based data evaluation (numerical format, plotting)have been started and the first results have been obtained. In the future the groupwishing to compile data published on the above mentioned fields especially those which
are also measured by this group experimentally.

NATIONAL NUCLEAR DATA CENTER
Status Reportto theConsultants' Meetingon Technical Aspects of Co-operationof the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers

1 - 3 September 1992

GeneralSince the last meeting of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers in October 1991, our staff has been
decreased by three full-time and 4 part time positions (there are currently 8 full-time equivalentscientific/professional and 3 support staff)- In addition, we currently have one visiting scientist.
Wolfgang Rothenstein (from Haifa, Israel) is at the Center on sabbatical, working on data andmethods testing for thermal reactor applications.

Computer Facilities
We plan to replace the VAX 11/780 and the VAX 8820 in the coming year, and are now
investigating an upgrade to an alpha version VAX system.

Bibliographies
The NSR activity has continued. 3 supplements of Recent References have been published.
The CINDA compilation activity has continued at a reduced level. Only those references
associated with the experimental data compiled at the Center and the ENDF index lines havebeen entered. In the period from October 1991 to September 1992, 6 CINDA transmissions havebeen sent (BNL129-135).

Data Libraries
In the period from October 1991 through September 1992, 5 neutron data transmission tapes(TRANS 1246-12:50) were sent containing new and corrected entries.

Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data
NNDC continues to coordinate the work of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group.
The Symposium on Nuclear Evaluation Methodology which will be held at Brookhaven on 12-16
October 1992. It will be preceeded by a Photonuclear & Charged Particle Data Workshop to beheld from 7-9 October also at BNL organized by Roger White of LLNL.

Nuclear Structure Data
NNDC continues to publish the Nuclear Data Sheets. As of September, 1992, issues throughVolume 67, #1 have been sent to Academic Press.

Customer Services
The use of the online data service has steadily increased. There are nearly 500 customer
accounts which may have more than one user, about 2000 retrievals per month in 1991; 52%
NSR, -13% ENSDF, 18% NUDAT, 7% ENDF, 6% CSISRS.

IAEA Nuclear Data Section
PROGRESS REPORT1992 NRDC Meeting

Staff
End of March 1992 Joe Schmidt retired. He was the head od the IAEA Nuclear Data
Section for more than 22 years from 1969 to 1992. More than anyone else he promoted
international cooperation in the field of nuclear data. The International Nuclear Data
Committee, data centre networks, specialists meetings to assess data needs, training courses,
and research contracts are some of the keywords of his activities, which were notably
successful due to his broad knowledge, initiative, and exceptionally friendly personality. The staff of the IAEA Nuclear Data Section wishes to express its deep gratitude for his
guidance throughout the years.
Soon after, Doug Muir left who was the Deputy Head of the Section and the head of
the computer unit. His primary merit was the purchase of the new VAX computer, which
required careful analysis of the data processing needs and of the technical possibilities under
the financial limitations.
End of 1991 Harm Wienke joined the Section on the EXFOR compiler's post which
had been vacant since Vicente Osorio changed to the Physics Section.

CINDA
CINDA compilation is on schedule. The printing of the book got delayed in 1991 dueto the transition from the old phototypesetting machine to a new laserprinter, which required
a lot of re-programming and test runs. CINDA91 was distributed only at the end of the year.
We wish to keep this new schedule so that also forthcoming issues will have the input
deadline in summer and the distribution date in fall.
Due to financial problems CINDA92 could be published only as a Supplement to
CINDA91. It is likely that also in 1993 only a limited size CINDA book can be published.

EXFOR
Due to the vacancy of the EXFOR compiler's post little had been compiled in 1991.
But by the end of 1992 we believe to be on schedule again. EXFOR TRANS tapes havebeen sent to the other centers in our normal rhythm of 5 tapes per year.

Our E,XFOR check program has not been updated for several years. We wish towork on the check program now within the VAX system. However, due to lack ofprogramming manpower nothing can be done in the near future.
The Dictionaries have been updated regularly. Special efforts will be required for the
new country names in East Europe.

Evaluated Data
For the 5 main evaluated data libraries that became available in the previous year,
many additional sublibraries have been received in the current year. All were checked anddocumented in the IAEA-NDS-... documentation series. A new joint index IAEA-NDS-107
has been issued.
NDS staff worked mainly on the nuclear data libraries for the FENDL project. This
work is not only essential for fusion neutronics calculations but also for fission reactor andother applications. Selected point data files and multigroup data files are now available.
A most important by-product of this work was the code validation done by S. Ganesan
which led to a number of improvements in the ENDF data pre-processing codes and in
NJOY.

VAX and "NDIS"
The main event during the past year was the purchase and installation, in the IAEA
Computer Center, of a VAX computer which is primarily reserved for nuclear data.
Consequently, our computer configuration is now similar to that of the data centers in
Brookhaven and at NEA.
The software for maintaining and updating the major nuclear data bases on the new
IAEA VAX/VMS system, and the software for on-line access to the data bases by outside
customers developed by NNDC, have been implemented. The assistance of staff from
NNDC and NEA-DB is gratefully acknowledged. At the time of the NRDC meeting mostparts of the system are in operation, so that the on-line service can be advertised tocustomers. It has been given the name "NDIS - Nuclear Data Information System". It is
the fourth widely used on-line system offered by the IAEA after IMS (bibliography for
nuclear sciences), AGRIS (bibliography in the field of food and agriculture), and PRIS
(power reactors). The NDIS information sheet is attached.

Publications
The publication of INDC reports and translations continued but had to be reduced
significantly due to lack of funds.

Request Statistics
The request statistics for 1992 is attached.

Meetings
The NDS meeting calendar for 1992 is attached. For the next year (1993) several
planned meetings are still uncertain due to lack of funds.

NDIS
Nuclear Data Information System

ON-LINE ACCESSRIPC Nuclear Data Section offers now on-line access to NDIS, the Nuclear Data
Information System. It is a one-Gigabyte database containing numerical nuclear physics data
files describing the interactions of radiation with matter. It includes the following data types:
evaluated neutron reaction data in ENDF format;
experimental nuclear reaction data in EXFOR format, for reactions induced byneutrons, charged particles, or photons:
nuclear half-lives and radioactive decay data in the systems NUDAT and
ENSDF;
related bibliographic information from the databases CINDA and NSR;
and others. Manuals and documentation for the different files and formats are available uponrequest.
The databases are maintained and updated by networks of nuclear data centerscoordinated by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section. The softwaire for on-line access has been
donated by the US National Nuclear Data Center, Brookhaven. The system has been
installed on the new VAX computer.
For any questions feel free to contact
R. Ardlla, ext. 1723, room A23-32
for technical computer related matters;
O. Schwerer, ext. 1715, room A23-19 (NDIS manager)
for questions about the on-line databases;
H.D. Lemmel, ext. 1717, room A23-20
for other available nuclear data libraries, related documentation, and the
Nuclear Data Newsletter.

- 76 -How to access NDIS:
1. Users of the IAEA IBM computer:
NDIS can be accessed through the TSO/SPF Main Menu. To establish a connection
1.1 select option IP (INTERNET services)
1.2 once inside the TCP/IP Functions Menu
- select option "2" (TELNET) and- specify "D5100.IAEA.or.at" for host name
1.3 at the "login:" prompt, enter "M4300::"
1.4 at the "username:" prompt, enter "IAEANDS".
For some essential hints see under "Notes" below.
continue with 4.1 below
2. Users of the IAEA VAX computer:
2.1 log in to the account IAEANDS. No password required,continue with 4.1 below
3. External users from IAEA member states via INTERNET
3.1 enter "TELNET D5100.IAEA.or.at" - this is the TCP/IP address of the IAEA's gateway
3.2 at the "login:" prompt, enter "M4300::"
3.3 at the "username:" prompt, enter "IAEANDS"
continue with 4.1 below
4. All users
After finishing above steps:
4.1 when prompted "Enter NDS assigned authorization code:"- either enter "GUEST": you will have 30 seconds of CPU time allocated- or enter your assigned authorization code if you have one (see below)
4.2 specify the appropriate type of your CRT terminal - whether ANSI standard or not. Users of the IBMcomputer should specify "N" (non-ANSI terminal).
Then you should see the NDIS-Menu which should be self-explanatory. After logging out from NDIS you can
5. either exit, or register for an authorization code if you do not have one yet; this code still needs to be activatedby the NDIS manager before you can use it for future on-line access.
Notes: a. If non-ANSI terminal is specified (including all users coming from an IBM computer), NDIS will workin "sequential mode" (or "line mode"). Here the user chooses between menu items by typing in the nameof one of the options presented by NDIS. All functions of NDIS, including HELP, are available insequential mode but it is somewhat less convenient than video mode.
In "video mode" (or "full screen mode") for ANSI terminals, NDIS has enhanced display capabilities.
Here, the user may switch between menu items using the cursor keys, much like in commercial PC
software.
Inhouse users wishing to consult NDIS more frequently should obtain a direct VAX connection in orderto have NDIS in the more comfortable video mode.
b.

When, in sequential mode, the message HOLDING appears at the bottom-right corner of your screen,press CLEAR (or PAUSE if you have a PC keyboard) to scroll the screen.

c.

"Panic" button for TELNET users:
If your screen becomes corrupted (e.g. after specifying an ANSI-type terminal when using the IBM), or
if you want to immediately terminate your TELNET session for another reason, press F4 and, at the
prompt "Telnet command:" enter "quit".
