Introduction
16th IAEA Technical Meeting on the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centers(NRDC) was held at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France from 27
to 30 May 2002. Twenty-one participants from twelve co-operating data centers in China,
Hungary, Japan, Russia, Ukraine and USA, and NEA OECD and IAEA attended the meeting(see list of participants in Appendix 1). The location of the meeting also gave an opportunity
for the staff of the NEA Data Bank to demonstrate the software developed for network-shared
databases and services.
Discussions included the biennial coordinating meeting of NRDC Heads, with the maintasks of considering data center cooperation in maintaining, updating and providing full-scale
and user-friendly access to the common nuclear reaction databases, outlining the priorities of
future work, and considering the technical issues associated with data compilation, exchange
and dissemination. The main results of these meetings are summarized in the conclusions,recommendations and actions.
Brief Minutes
L.E. Echávarri, Director-General of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, welcomed allparticipants, and emphasised the major priority of the NRDC network to improve user
services through better co-ordination between the centers. Many new requirements fornuclear data will be related to the proposed development of a new generation of nuclear power
plants.
A. Nichols was elected as the NRDC meeting chairman. The provisional Agenda wasdiscussed and adopted with a few changes (see Appendix 2), and the Status Reports of thecenters were presented (see reports in Appendix 3).
All General Actions from previous meetings were checked, and some were defined as
still on-going or continuous (see Conclusions, Recommendations and Actions in Appendix 5).
V. Pronyaev presented a new NDS approach to customer services, which is based onusers initiating wish lists on topics of interest with the possibility to receive reports in
hardcopy or electronically forms. After completion within the next two years of themultiplatform software for management and data retrievals from shared databases, users will
have the opportunity to install directly their own local nuclear data center for desktop
applications. Preliminary results were presented of the NNDC-BNL and NDS-IAEA Web
retrieval statistics and NEA-DB approach to such data. While individual centers are unable tospend too much time analysing such statistics, intercomparisons between the different service
centers may aid in formulating more objective criteria for the retrieval procedures.
Discussions on CINDA were led by M. Kellett. Old actions A6 - A9 were considered,and WP2002-22 and WP2002-24 (CINDA compilations) and WP2002-25 (journal coverage)
were discussed (see WP in Appendix 4). Coverage in EXFOR of experimental work indexedin CINDA is 55% complete through all years and even higher (70%) for 1980 to 1999, which- 13 -

was judged to be a satisfactory situation. Plans were agreed for conversion of CINDA to a
new format, which is related to the creation of a joint CINDA-EXFOR-ENDF relational
Nuclear Reaction Data Base (NRDB). CINDA will continue to be used as an entry point to
the NRDB of all experimental and evaluated work, while theoretical studies will be compiled
only in the Nuclear Science Reference (NSR) database which will be linked to NRDB.
Support should be given by all reaction data centres to compile and incorporate into NSR
theoretical work published in world-wide non-English literature. The conversion of theexisting file will be completed, and compilation in the new format will begin in early 2003.
Discussions on EXFOR matters were led by O. Schwerer, including consideration of
Actions from previous meetings and analysis of statistics for EXFOR compilations (see
WP2002-20 and WP2002-21 in Appendix 4), EXFOR manpower at the different centers,compilation responsibilities, and the need to reduce the current backlog. Checking of possible
duplications was proposed when the same first reference appears in different entries (see
WP2002-17 in Appendix 4). Platform-independent stand-alone versions of the EXFOR
checking code CHEX were made available to the centers. The need for EXFOR compilers’
workshop to train new compilers was endorsed.
A. Nichols reported on the recommendations of the International Nuclear Data
Committee Meeting (14 - 17 May 2002) to the NDS, which could impact on network
activities. Thus, reorganization of the hierarchical structure of the NRDC network had been
proposed in an attempt to simplify and accelerate the process of introducing new data in the
database and increase EXFOR compilations.
The transition to the multiplatform
relational/network database technology with a single master file will also require somereorganization. Paper entitled “Proposal for new Nuclear Reaction Data Center Protocol”
describes this reorganization, and was approved with some modifications by the Data Center
Heads (see below and Appendix 5).
Presentations were made describing progress in the migration of the reaction databases
EXFOR, CINDA and ENDF to a common multiplatform relational database (joint project of
NDS and NNDC, see WP2002-26 in Appendix 4). The migration of EXFOR by NDS isessentially completed, while work to include CINDA in a common database is underway.
These changes will alter NRDC cooperation on CINDA (see proposed schedule in
WP2002-28 in Appendix 9). These alterations will allow the merging of all existing EXFOR
files into a master file and will avoid the confusion of users retrieving data from different
master files. The meeting endorsed this development. A working paper on theintercomparison of NDS, NNDC and CDFE master files was discussed (see WP2002-18 inAppendix 4), and other centers were invited to take part in this intercomparison and further
data merging.
The meeting of Data Centers Heads was devoted to general policy matters, while
CINDA and EXFOR technical discussions were organized to take place at the same time as aparallel session. Conclusions and recommendations of the centers heads’ session are given in
Appendix 6. The parallel technical session considered the problems of restructuring Particle
Dictionaries to give a single dictionary (see WP2002-2 in Appendix 4), progress achieved on
the conversion of CINDA to a new format, corrections to specific TRANS files (diverse
opinions on how the data should be entered), pending transmissions and general procedures toavoid delays in entering data. There was agreement that the NDS “open area” should be mademore secure as proposed in WP2002-19 (see Appendix 4). Recommendations, conclusions- 14 -

and actions taken at these parallel sessions were reported and approved at the subsequent
plenary session.
Centers presented their future data development programmes, including the preparation
and release of new evaluated data libraries and files for different applications, and computer
packages for data evaluations, pre-processing, checking and quality assurance.
A provisional list of Actions and Recommendations was prepared during the meeting
and approved. This list of actions increased during the technical discussions and post-meeting
communications between participants (see Appendix 6).
The next NRDC Technical Meeting should be held late May – begin of June 2003 in
Vienna. Two days of this meeting could be reserved for a small workshop on either softwaredevelopment for shared databases or the training of EXFOR/CINDA/NSR compilers. The
next NRDC Data Centers Heads Meeting will be held at NNDC-BNL, in Spring of 2004.
Software developments by NEA DB staff were described that covered nuclear databasemanagement and dissemination. CINDA, EXFOR and ENDF had been developed under
Oracle RDBMS and cgi-scripts had been created for Web retrievals from these nuclear
databases. The ASCII exchange format will continue to be used for updates to these databases
as batches and TRANS files.
The demonstration session included:(i)

on-line work with a new Web multiplatform EXFOR relational database developed by
NDS (V. Zerkin) in cooperation with NNDC (V. McLane). A test version withpowerful search and other convenient features has been installed under
Linux/Apache/JavaServlet/MySQL on the NDS server (http://zlinux.iaea.org/exfor/).
(ii) V. Varlamov described further developments of NESSY RDB which allow specificretrievals from the ENSDF database, searches on an EXFOR relational database with alarge number of parameters, on-fly graphical presentation of data and a few otherproducts available from CDFE Web site (http://depni.npi.msu.su/cdfe/).
(iii) A. Nouri demonstrated Nuclear Information Software JANIS, which visualises
experimental and evaluated data for nuclear reaction cross sections and nuclear structureand decay data. Based on Java technology, JANIS has the capability to present different
types of interactive graphical data (cross sections, differential and double differential
cross sections, etc.).
(iv) New comprehensive method for data retrieval from the NEA-DB EXFOR relational
database was shown by M. Kellett. Free user access is envisaged to this page(http://www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/x4/x4ret.html).
(v) Y. Ohbayashi presented SyGRD, a new System of Graphical Reading and numerical
Displaying with image analysis software, developed by JCPRG. This free software isavailable to the cooperating network data centers. Tests against CAJaD graphic
digitalizing programme has given results with good consistency.
(vi) N. Otuka presented the work of HENDEL associated with a Web-browser editor for thecompilation of nuclear reaction data in EXFOR and NRDF formats. A test version isavailable at http://nucl.sci.hokudai.ac.jp/~nrdf/editor/ (only for registered users), andwill be made available to the network after updating with a comprehensive list of treatedkeywords (for EXFOR system).
(vii) A. Kaltchenko introduced the UkrNDC Web-site (http://ukrndc.kinr.kiev.ua/).

The following EXFOR coding rules for data compilation were considered: units forparticle and product yields, use of alphanumeric symbols for page numbers in REFERENCE
field, some new proposed quantities for high-energy reactions, correlation quantities, 4momentum transfer and momentum distribution, and clarifications on product yield, thicktarget yields and polarization. The controversy of zeros appearing in the error field and on the
Legendre polynomial modifier for symmetric angular distributions were resolved.
Discussions were based on WP2002-3 – WP2002-16 and WP2002-23 (see Appendix 4), andthe resulting recommendations are summarized as new Actions (see Appendix 5).
The meeting ended with a half-day workshop devoted to the resolution of some complex
difficulties in EXFOR coding, which could not be satisfactory addressed through e-mailcommunications. As a result of this brainstorming activity, agreement was found for thecoding of reactions in more than ten entries.
Conclusions
The co-ordinating role of the NDS for the central tasks of the NRDC network wassignificantly strengthened and agreed (i.e. compilation and exchange of nuclear data in the
EXFOR and CINDA databases). This agreement will result in a greater workload for NDS,
and increased responsibilities for the NDS staff member in charge of co-ordination.
With the implementation of the relational nuclear databases, a new era of nuclear dataservices will begin, which will provide more effective database maintenance to the data
centres, and greater user-friendly data access to users. We must ensure that the quality andcompleteness of the compiled data is kept at a correspondingly high level. These aims can beachieved if the highest priority is given to those projects that will create a common EXFOR
master file and improve the completeness and timeliness of the data compilations.

Appendix 3: STATUS REPORTS OF THE DATA CENTRESNATIONAL NUCLEAR DATA CENTER
Status Report to the
IAEA Technical Meeting on the
Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centers27-30 May 2002
GeneralIn February 2002, Charlie Dunford stepped down after 10 plus outstanding years of service as
the NNDC Head. Pavel Oblozinsky took over as the NNDC Head, while Charlie continues toserve as the NNDC Deputy Head.
Since the last meeting of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers in May 2001, one staff member
and one support staff member have retired; one staff member and one support staff member
will be leaving within the next year. There are currently 10 FTE scientific/professional andthree support staff. See Table 1 for list of visitors for this period. Also, attached is a list of
NNDC visits to other centers (Table 2).

Computer Facilities
The main work of the NNDC continues to be performed on our Compaq Alpha Server 4100.
The TCP/IP network software has been upgraded.
Two new Linux workstations were purchased; one is used to run the Empire nuclear model
code, the other will be used as a Web database server. Work has begun on implementing asecure and workable computer environment that includes a web server located outside thefirewall communicating with the database server inside the firewall through a secure channel.
The NNDC staff PC’s have been upgraded to Windows 2000.

Bibliographies
The NSR compilation activity has continued. About 4,600 references have been entered in thepast year.
The CINDA compilation activity continues with respect to those references associated withthe experimental data compiled at the Center. In the period from June 2001 to May 2002, 4
CINDA transmissions were sent (Table 4) containing a total of 2091 records.

Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data
The NNDC continues to compile neutron and charged-particle reaction data produced in the
U. S. and Canada. In the period from June 2001 through May 2002, 10 final neutron data
- 25 -

transmission tapes and 7 charged-particle transmission tapes were sent containing new andcorrected entries; one preliminary transmission has been sent (see Table 3).
The LEXFOR Manual has been updated.

Evaluated Nuclear Reaction Data
NNDC continues to coordinate the work of the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group.
ENDF/B-VI, Release 8, was distributed in September-October 2001. Version 6.13 of the
ENDF Utility codes will be distributed within the next three months. The ENDF-201
Summary Documentation Appendix A, History of materials issued in ENDF/B-VI, has been
updated and is available on the NNDC Web site.
The collaboration with LANL and IAEA Vienna on the development of a modular code fornuclear reaction data evaluations continues. The modular code Empire-II was extended byadding a module based on the exciton model code Degas, motivated by the need to handle
direct-semidirect capture in the fast neutron energy region. A further major extension of thecode Empire-II was the addition of a new module, the coupled-channels optical model code
Ecis-95, with NNDC responsible for validation. These updates are included into recently
released Empire-2.17 (April 2002).
The cooperation with the Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) on 19 fission
product cross-section evaluations continued in the fast neutron energy range. Preliminary
versions of all evaluations were completed, including 6 highly deformed nuclei where
coupled-channels optical model is of importance.
Review of cross section evaluations of the 211 available fission products (31 < Z < 68) fromthe five evaluated data files (ENDF/B, JEF, JENDL, BROND and CENDL) has started as aninternational project under NEA WPEC (new Subgroup 21). The best evaluations will berecommended for inclusion into the future ENDF/B-VII library. So far, 20 nuclides werereviewed.

Nuclear Structure Data
NNDC continues to publish the Nuclear Data Sheets. As of April 2002, issues throughVolume 95, #3 have been sent to Academic Press.
The experimental nuclear structure and decay data database (XUNDL) now contains morethan 857 data sets, compared to 635 one year ago).

Nuclear Data Base Migration
During the last year, the NNDC has purchased and installed the Sybase Adaptive ServerEnterprise (ASE) software on a Linux server. Relational versions of NSR, ENSDF, andseveral reaction databases are being developed and loaded on this platform. For web-based
retrieval of the data, we will be using Java Server Pages (JSP) hosted by www2.bnl.gov, alaboratory maintained computer outside of the security firewall.

- 26 -

A second Linux server has been purchased and will be used for web application development,
and to host a copy of the databases in "warm stand-by" mode for use in case of hardware
failure on the main server.
During the coming year, administrative functions for CSISRS(EXFOR) and NSR will betransferred to the new system. This involves installation of new software and modification of
legacy codes, where appropriate, to work with the relational database. Once this isaccomplished, the VMS-based version of the database will function as a mirrored copy of thedata, updated on a weekly basis. Similar steps will be taken for the other databases over the
next two years.

Customer Services
The number of online retrievals continues to increase, primarily due to the availability of mostdatabases on the Web. There are now about 950 customer accounts for the Online Service
with more than 1,100 users. There are about 23,000 retrievals per month from the combined
Online Service, Web site, and anonymous ftp (87% of retrievals are from Web). A chart ofstatistics for the combined online retrievals is attached.
CINDA, CSISRS, and NSR links to the APS Link Manager were extended back to include allof Physical Review from Series II on and all of Physical Review Letters and Reviews ofModern Physics. NSR now contains links to somewhat over 40,000 journal abstracts from 15
journals.
The printed version (January 2000) of Nuclear Wallet Cards was adopted by the DOE Security
Office, Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System, as its official decay data
standard.
A general update of all information pages that are under NNDC control (NNDC, CSEWG,
and USNDP) was done. An International Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Network page
was added. The NRDC Web page was updated and distributed to other centers for comment.
The following have been added to the NNDC Web site:
1. Table of Magnetic Dipole Rotational Band (Balraj Singh);
2. History of the Origin of the Chemical Elements and Their Discoverers (Norm Holden);
3. WPEC SG21 Assessment of Neutron Cross-Section Evaluations for the Bulk of
Fission Products, including graphical inter-comparison for all 211 nuclides;
4. Nuclear Reaction Model Codes containing ABAREX (R.D. Lawson and A.B. Smith.
ANL), EMPIRE-II (M. Herman, IAEA, R. Capote, Univ. Sevilla, P. Oblozinsky, BNL,
and A. Trkov, IAEA), and PRECO-2000 (C.K. Walker, TUNL);
5. Improved tabular representation of data from ENSDF, MIRD, and XUNDL;
6. Utility code QCALC, which calculates decay and reaction Q-values and reaction
threshold energies;
7. CSISRS page upgrade to use the program ZVView (Viktor Zerkin, IAEA Nuclear
Data Section) as a helper application.

to the NRDC meeting in Paris, France
27 – 30 May 2002

Organisation
Total number of full time staff in the NEA Data Bank is 19. This is divided into 9
professional staff and 10 support staff. However, only 7 professional and 7 support staff
members work within the Data Bank computer program and nuclear data services. The rest of
the staff is allocated to work with other parts of the NEA.
An organisation chart of the Data Bank can be found in the annex. This chart shows thegeneral allocation of professional staff in the four different activity areas. The post as head of
the Data Bank is presently vacant. Two names (Byung-Chan Na and Federico Mompean) areindicated in italic, as they work mainly on nuclear science and radioactive waste management
issues, respectively.
Total annual budget of the Data Bank is about 3,4 million Euros. The two persons, working
for other parts of the NEA, mentioned above are paid by the NEA main budget, leaving anannual budget for the Data Bank scientific services of about 2,6 million Euros.
Nuclear Data Services
EXFOR compilations
The compilation of measured neutron and charged particle induced reaction data continues
with the help of outside consultants. The statistics below show the number of neutron andcharged particle induced data sets loaded into the EXFOR database. However these figures do
not necessarily reflect the compilation effort. This is due to the rather long and complicatedchecking procedures that have been adopted by the Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
network, which tend to delay the loading of entries, particularly for charged particle data
where the precise coding of data becomes more difficult. It is hoped that the procedures will
be simplified to minimise the time needed between the compilation and the loading of the data
into the database.
Neutron induced data
The compilation of neutron induced data continues reasonably smoothly, with data being
taken mainly from recently published work. Some revision of earlier compilation has also
taken place, where the original data have now become available, or better scanning techniques
for data extraction from figures. In total forty (40) new works and thirty (30) revised works
were loaded and distributed during 2001. Currently there are forty-six (46) new and twentyseven (27) revised works being processed.
Charged particle induced data
Noting the problems of loading charged particle data mentioned above a significant number of
entries were nonetheless loaded during 2001, namely fifty-seven (57) new entries. Recently afurther sixty-five (65) revised entries have been processed and distributed, but just over two
hundred (205) new entries are awaiting agreement within the NRDC network prior to their- 31 -

loading and distribution. It is foreseen that at least half of these will be loaded in the next twomonths following the May 2002 meeting of the NRDC, where final agreement on the codingof some of these will be achieved.
Bibliographic (CINDA) data
The CINDA compilation work has been enhanced during 2001 by the use of a consultant, as
well as the continued support of the Japanese Nuclear Data Centre. This has allowed the
preparation of over one thousand two hundred (1200) entries, of which two hundred and fortyfour (244) were loaded in 2001 and the remainder are being currently being loaded prior to theclosure of the database for the preparation of the CINDA book by the IAEA and the CD-ROM
by the NEA.
Services to Nuclear Data Users
The nuclear data services are mainly provided through direct on-line access to the CINDA,
EXFOR, EVA databases containing bibliographic, experimental and evaluated nuclear data
respectively. The access to the CINDA database is open, whereas only accredited users,
having obtained personal passwords, can access the EXFOR and EVA databases. In addition
to these on-line services, the Data Bank also answers specific requests from customers. This
concerns normally requests for very large datasets, which are too large for direct Internet
download. The very large datasets are normally distributed on CD-ROM. Providing advice tonuclear data users is another important part of the nuclear data services.
The last two year's statistics concerning the on-line access to the databases show that the
number of EXOR retrievals is roughly constant (8 075 in 2001 compared to 8 572 in 2000).
The number of EVA retrievals has gone down from about 3 200 in 2000 to about 1 600 in
2001. This can partly be explained by the release of the JANIS software, which contains a
number of evaluated data libraries, and also by the fact that there were no new releases of
evaluated data libraries in 2001.
The CINDA statistics was harder to analyse, as this database is open to the public. A numberof filters had to be applied in order to eliminate occasional users, such as Internet searchengines and "tourists", and to obtain a reliable value of the real use of the database. The total
number of accesses to the CINDA Internet pages in 2001 was over 15 000. However, thenumber of real retrievals from the CINDA database was only about 2 600. The trend for
CINDA on-line retrievals is increasing (there were only about 1 300 retrievals in 2000). Thisis somewhat surprising as the CINDA database is now distributed on CD-ROM once a year,
together with the printed version.
Other Nuclear Data Activities
The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion Project (JEFF)The JEFF project established a new working group on nuclear data measurement activities in
May 2001. The objective of this group is to help analysing the expressed needs for nuclear
data measurements and to co-ordinate the experiments for addressing these needs.
The JEFF-3.0 General Purpose Library, intended for use in Fission and Fusion neutronic
applications, was released in April 2002. This library contains recommended nuclear data for- 32 -

use in neutron transport calculations. Evaluated nuclear data are given for 340 isotopes orelements and for five molecular/lattice structures in the case of thermal scattering data.
JEFF-3.0 contains many new evaluations produced in the framework of JEFF and EFF
compared to previous versions of the data library. Evaluations from other projects were also
included when their quality was proven to be superior to those contained in JEF-2.2. Integral
measurements provided the main guidance in the choice of data among the existing evaluatedfiles. Compared to JEF-2.2 and EFF-2.4, JEFF-3.0 contains new evaluations for many
materials including:• Major actinides (e.g. U-233, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241 and Pu-242)• Minor actinides (e.g. Np-237, U-236, Pu-238 and Cm isotopes)• Structural materials (e.g. Cr-52, Mn-55, Fe-56, Ni-58, Ni-60, Pb)• Major fission products (e.g. Rh-103, Eu-152 to Eu-155, Nd-143 and Sm-149)• Absorbers (e.g. Hf, Cd, V)
Besides the basic evaluated files, the JEFF Project has decided to produce JEFF-3.0-based
processed libraries (in point-wise and group-wise formats). A documentation of the JEFF-3.0
general-purpose file will be published in June 2002.
The JEFF-3.0 activation file will be released in Autumn 2002. The Decay Data and Fission
Yields libraries will be released in Autumn 2003. A revised version of the General Purpose
file including an extension to intermediate energies (up to 200 MeV) will also be produced inAutumn 2003.
JANIS Software
The first version of the JANIS (Java Nuclear Information System) software was released in
October 2001. A presentation of the software was made at the International Nuclear Data
conference at Tsukuba, Japan. This first version has proven to be very useful to a variety ofusers. More than 530 copies have been distributed since October 2001.
Extensions of the software to include other capabilities are underway. A new version isforeseen in 2003 and will provide access to other categories of data such as activation files
and Monte-Carlo application libraries (ACE format). (see http://www.nea.fr/janis/).
Data from Integral Experiments
The Data Bank and the NEA Nuclear Science section work closely together on thepreservation of data from integral experiments to increase their uses and benefits and to favour
innovation, especially in the context of the development of future nuclear energy systems.
The Nuclear Science committee is responsible for overall guidance of the project, whereas theData Bank provides the infrastructure for the safeguarding of information in databases and forservices to member countries.
The following databases were all updated with new material in 2001:• Radiation Shielding (SINBAD)• Reactor Fuel Performance (IFPE)• Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (ICSBEP)• Code Validation Matrix of Thermal-Hydraulic Codes for LWR LOCA and Transients(CCVM)• Reactor Physics Experiments (IRPhE) - pilot project- 33 -

The demand for the integral nuclear data services was in line with the average distribution
during the last 3 years. More than 1 800 data sets were distributed, of which about 290 went
to non-OECD countries according to the cooperative agreement with the IAEA
Computer Program Services
The Data Bank maintains a database containing more than 2 000 documented program
packages and group cross-section data sets, covering all civil application areas in nuclear
energy. The program packages (the program itself, the user manual and suitable test cases) aredistributed on CD-ROM or sent via Internet on request. New acquired computer codes are
stored in a full computer readable form and other programs are being restructured to include
full computer readable documentation.
The demand for the Data Bank computer program services remained very high in 2001. Morethan 2 200 programs were dispatched following requests. About 150 of these programs weresent to non-OECD countries according to a special cooperative agreement with the IAEA.
The most requested programs in 2001 were in the field of radiation transport and shielding, inparticular the two Monte Carlo codes MCNP and PENELOPE. About 50 percent of therequests for computer programs originated from national laboratories, whereas about 25
percent came from universities and the remaining 25 percent from industry and consulting
firms.
The Thermochemical Data Base (TDB)
The Thermochemical Data Base (TDB) project is a co-operative effort between the NEA Data
Bank and the NEA Radioactive Waste Management Committee to produce internationally
recommended chemical thermodynamic data needed for the safety assessment of radioactive
waste disposal systems.
The review of Neptunium and Plutonium data was published in June 2001 by Elsevier North
Holland.
The present activities of the TDB project (phase II) is organised as a separate funding semiautonomous project, supervised by a Management Board with representatives from all theparticipating organisations. This phase of the project comprises the following five data review
teams:• Update of Uranium, Americium, Technetium, Neptunium and Plutonium data
• Review of Nickel data
• Review of Selenium data
• Complexation of simple organic ligands with radionuclides and competing cat-ions• Review of Zirconium data
Among these five review efforts, it is expected that the updating of U, Am, Tc, Np and Pu
data will be completed and sent to publication late in 2002 or in early 2003. The reviews of
the inorganic compounds of Zr and the simple organic compounds will be sent for peer-review
in 2002 and published in early 2003. The two remaining reviews will be published later in
2003.

NUCLEAR DATA SECTION: OVERVIEW

The budget and staffing level of the Nuclear Data Section has been relatively stable
during the current reporting period. The authorized staff level for 2001-2002 is 18, consistingof 10 professionals (P-staff) and 8 support staff (G-staff). Of these 18 staff members, 3 (2 Pstaff and 1 G-staff) are assigned to the Atomic and Molecular Data Unit.
The previous Section Head (Douglas Muir) retired from his position, effective from30 June 2001. His successor (Alan Nichols) was unable to take up his duties in the Section
until 8 October 2001. The various Unit Heads are:Robert Clark, Atomic and Molecular Data Unit,
Liam Costello, Systems Development Unit,
Vladimir Pronyaev, Nuclear Data Unit,
Andrej Trkov, Nuclear Data Development Unit (joined NDS on 10 May 2000),
all of whom have contributed to the contents of this report. Pavel Obložinský resigned fromhis position as Deputy Section Head (effective from 31 March 2000), and has beensubsequently replaced by Andrej Trkov. An atomic physicist is being sought as replacement
for Jeffrey Stephens, who resigned with effect from 31 December 2001 to accept employment
at the University of Colorado in Bolder, USA. The previous Section Secretary (Elisabeth
Baumgartner) was promoted to Divisional Secretary (June 2000), and has been replaced byAndrea Scherbaum.
IAEA staff costs after 2000 are shown to rise markedly as a consequence of agreed
parity alignments with equivalent workers elsewhere (Table 1). The programme budgets from2000 to 2003 exhibit some fluctuations, but are almost unchanged bearing in mind thevariability of the exchange rates year on year. There has been some shift of emphasis in the
programme of the Section, with more resources devoted to workshops and other user training
initiatives, and efforts are being made to increase staff involvement in Technical Cooperation
projects. Increased communication through the more user-friendly IAEA-NDS Website is anoteworthy feature and continues to aid in reducing other expenditures (e.g., hard-copy
printing and manual retrieval). Figures for 2003 are provisional, and subject to significant
modifications prior to approval in the autumn of 2002.

DATA CENTRE ACTIVITIESThe primary objectives of the NDS Nuclear Data Centre in 2000–2001 have been as
follows:•

collection, assessment and dissemination of nuclear data for a wide range of applications,•international exchange of nuclear data,•co-ordination of the worldwide networks of national and regional nuclear reaction andnuclear structure and decay data centres,•

maintenance of manuals and software for internationally-agreed database formats andexchange procedures,•

improvements to the methods by which the data centre provides Member State users withinformation.

A new objective has been introduced during this timeframe to accommodate the need toperform database services on different hardware and software platforms:•

2.1

co-operate with other centres in the development of platform-independent nuclear
databases and services.
Nuclear Data Compilations

Bibliographic information continues to be compiled on nuclear reaction data forassembly in the computerized formats of CINDA and EXFOR. NDS assumes a supervisoryrole in this area of NRDC activity.
The general purpose libraries of evaluated nuclear reaction data are prepared undernational and regional programmes. After international release, they are placed in the ENDF
database by NNDC, Brookhaven. Special purpose nuclear databases, libraries and files areprepared within the framework of IAEA Coordinated Research Projects or national andregional programs, and are documented by the IAEA NDS. Various checks and tests are
performed before disseminating the data on request via online access or CD-ROMs.

- 38 -

2.1.1 CINDA
The CINDA exchange format will be revised as an inevitable consequence of theforthcoming unification of CINDA, EXFOR and ENDF to produce a joint nuclear reaction
database. These revisions are controlled by NNDC, BNL in cooperation with other data
centres. CINDA and Web-retrieval formats will also be substantially extended. The firsttransition to A4 format for the CINDA book (CINDA 2000) was initiated by the IAEA, while
a new layout was approved at the 2001 NRDC meeting and will be implemented in CINDA
2002.
NDS staff scanned over 40 journal titles and about 20 titles from indexing journals.
NDS prepared and transmitted 3290 CINDA entries in 2000-2001 either as direct input to the
CINDA file (documentation of laboratory work is the responsibility of NDS) or for further
processing by other responsible data centres. CINDA 2000 represents the cumulative index
for 1988–2000, while CINDA 2002 will be the cumulative index for 1988-2002. NDS has
established a duplicate database on the NDS Alpha server for use by CJD (Obninsk), who
could not prepare any CINDA input during 2000-2001.
2.1.2 EXFOR
Twenty-five EXFOR entries were compiled during 2000-2001, representing newcontributions from Argentina (6), Bulgaria (1), China (13), Hungary (1), Libya (1), Poland (1),
Slovakia (1) and Ukraine (1). Seven entries prepared at the China Nuclear Data Centre werechecked and processed at NDS, while data received from Ukraine (1) and Argentina (2) in a
"raw EXFOR" format were finalized at NDS. Twenty-one charged-particle EXFOR entries
compiled at ATOMKI (Hungary) were also checked and finalized at NDS and transmitted
separately.
81 TRANS files were checked and included in the EXFOR database, containing 671
neutron entries (184 new, 487 revised), 1295 CPND entries (643 new, 652 revised), and 43
photonuclear entries (33 new, 10 revised). The EXFOR dictionaries were regularly updated
and distributed. NDS will become fully responsible for the maintenance of common
dictionaries with the development of the joint CINDA/EXFOR/ENDF database.
2.1.3 Evaluated Data Libraries, Files and Programs

2.1.4 Future Tasks
Two of the most important tasks to be performed by the NDS data centre within the next
two years (2002-2003) are as follows:•

co-operate with other centres to develop the Nuclear Reaction Database (NRD),
combining CINDA, EXFOR and ENDF as relational database for multiplatform/multimedia environment, and develop procedures to update and retrieve data;•assist in the unification of different versions of EXFOR master files in a form acceptable
to all network centres.

2.2

Nuclear Data Services

2.2.1

Improvements and Developments
The main activities associated with user services in 2000-2001 have been as follows:•

Layout and design of the NDS Web page has been significantly improved to ease user
access;- 40 -

•Contents of ADLIST (database of user addresses) was substantially updated, along withease of registration for receipt of NDS publications and data;•

INDC reports are prepared in electronic format, and all of the more recent IAEA-NDS
reports and Nuclear Data Newsletters are available on the NDS Web site;•

More than 30 different databases, libraries and computer packages can now be distributed
to customers on CD-ROMs, which represents the best media for storing “frozen” versionsof the libraries and files; CD-ROMs containing the major databases and interfaces are
periodically updated for distribution to customers;•

NDS statistical analysis of Web page usage has been improved to give an accurate andmore detailed quantification of user activity;•

EXFOR/ACCESS relational database on CD-ROM with retrieval system and interactive
plotting was distributed to users who have no access to the Internet or prefer a localised
database;•

Co-operative studies underway with other data centres to develop a platform-independent
version of joint Nuclear Reaction Database combining EXFOR, CINDA and ENDF (seeSection 2.3).

2.2.2 Statistics
A wide variety of user requests persist, and a range of different media are required tomaintain services. These communications include: standard mail for hardcopies of
documents, PC diskettes and CD-ROMs, e-mails with attached retrieved data or electronic
documents, and on-line transfer of data retrieved by the users through the Web interface.
Overall statistical analyses of user services are listed in Table 2 which covers the previous five
years.

On-line retrievals from NDS databases are made directly by users through Telnet or Web
access to the libraries, files and reports. Each registered retrieval contains at least one
homogenous piece of information: one report, or a set of different data retrieved from one
library or database, or a computer code or package of codes. On-line retrieval corresponds toa user creating output either on hard disk or in screen mode. CD-ROM distribution is simply
the number of CD-ROMs sent to users. Off-line retrievals include dispatch by ordinary mailof hardcopy reports or computer outputs prepared by the NDS staff.
- 41 -

Figure 1 shows various representations of user access to the IAEA-NDS Web server andthe mirror system in Brazil, including definition by geographical distribution and topics. The
total number of data retrievals has increased by 40% due mainly to customer requirements fordata from the general purpose and special applications libraries. Another observation is thatthe number of queries from developing countries has continued to grow in 2001. Moredetailed Web statistics are available, including user access from individual countries, monthly
access and retrievals from different libraries.
The following trends are noted for the previous two years:•

CD-ROMs with “frozen” or regularly updated libraries and files are a popular medium fordata distribution;•

About 32 Gbytes of information were downloaded by Web users in 2001 (doubling of2000 figure);• Number of Telnet retrievals is decreasing because of the alternative of user-friendly accessto the Web site.
2.3

Development of New Generation of Nuclear Databases

NDS has invested in alternative Relational Database Management Systems, and islooking at various operating systems and hardware platforms. This project will have a major
impact on the cost and nature of all nuclear data services, including the formulation of nuclear
reaction databases on multisystem/multimedia environments to provide a common solution to
the handling of different software and hardware platforms. This approach will create moreuser-friendly access, and improve the quality of the computerized data services. The new
system is being developed in close co-operation with NNDC, based on shared responsibilities.
Major nuclear databases will be included (CINDA, EXFOR, ENDF, ENSDF and NSR), andthe resulting system will be proposed for the Nuclear Data Centers Network.
Current status:• co-operative studies are underway with NNDC-USA to develop platform-independent
relational nuclear databases and services;• development of Nuclear Reaction Database (NRDB) is on-going, combining CINDA,
EXFOR and ENDF as platform-independent relational database (final results will include
procedures for maintenance and retrieval on Web and CD-ROM);• test version of EXFOR has been developed as a platform-independent database with Web
interface;• EXFOR-relational database was installed on experimental Web sites of NDS and NNDC,
and Java-retrieval program for CD-ROM distribution is under development;• CINDA and ENDF-relational databases are under development.

Future Tasks
The following tasks will improve user services further, and are proposed for 2003-2005:•

Continue the development of a new generation of nuclear databases (see Section 2.3,
above).

•

Migration of ADLIST (database for data and reports distribution) to the relational databaseplatform, with addition of distribution options that can be selected by users.

•

Creation of data services for special applications (Web pages linked to relevant data on
CD-ROMs).

NETWORK CO-ORDINATION

3.1

Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres

The NDS assists the network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres by organising the annual
coordination meetings. This network includes four core data centres and nine national andspecialised data centres. Biennial meetings of the data centre heads are designed to generate
general recommendations on nuclear reaction data exchange and the development of shared
databases and services. Technical matters associated with data exchange are also considered,although biennial technical meetings every other year are primarily devoted to this topic.
Bilateral visits and consultancies are also used to solve difficulties in data exchange anddatabase development.
3.1.1 NRDC Network Meetings
IAEA Advisory Group Meeting on Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres, Obninsk,
Russia, 15-19 May 2000 (INDC(NDS)-418): conclusions and actions focused on the further
development of the nuclear databases and services in a multiplatform/multimedia
environment.
IAEA Consultants' Meeting on the Co-ordination of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres, Vienna,
28-30 May 2001 (INDC(NDS)-427): agreed actions focused on the coding rules, dictionaries
and software development for nuclear relational databases.
3.1.2 Bilateral visits•

Detailed information about the NRDC network and latest activities can be found in
INDC(NDS)-401 (Rev. 3), “The Nuclear Data Centres Network”, ed. by V.G. Pronyaev (Rev.
July 2000).
3.1.3 Future Tasks

Completion of the following tasks would improve the co-ordination of the NRDC
network:•

Compilation of experimental data by the network data centres, e.g. by organizing
workshops for compilers, and using consultants to help bridge gaps in the database.

•Organize workshops, consultancies and bilateral visits that assist in the development ofshared databases and related software - requires some changes in NDS tasks as well as
wider consideration of such topics at the network coordination meetings.

3.2. Network of Nuclear Structure and Decay Data Evaluators
The international network of nuclear structure and decay data (NSDD) evaluators issponsored by the IAEA, and consists of evaluation groups and data service centres in several
countries. A primary aim of this network is to provide up-to-date nuclear structure and decay
data for all known nuclides by evaluating existing experimental data. The network includes
more than 20 centres and groups.
Resulting recommended data are included in the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File
(ENSDF) and published in Nuclear Physics A and Nuclear Data Sheets. Recommended
values are made available to users through various media such as online computer services,
PC diskettes and compact disks, wall charts of nuclides, handbooks and nuclear wallet cards.
The ENSDF master database is maintained by the US National Nuclear Data Centre at the
Brookhaven National Laboratory. Data from the latest version of ENSDF are also available
from other distribution centres including the IAEA-NDS server.

- 45 -

Biennial meetings of the network assist in the co-ordination of the work by all centres
and groups participating in the compilation, evaluation and dissemination of NSDD, andmaintaining and improving the standards and rules governing NSDD evaluation.
Consideration is also given to the development and use of the computerized systems anddatabases maintained specifically for this activity. The work of ENSDF evaluators andprogrammers is coordinated by the NNDC, Brookhaven, including centres that undertake“horizontal” evaluations (specific quantities for a well-defined set of nuclei) anddissemination. Some of the NDS Coordinated Research Projects contribute to the provisionsof “horizontal” evaluations.
4. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Other work programmes are undertaken by the NDS (eg. Coordinated Research
Projects, Data Development Projects, Workshops Training and Technology Transfer, andHardware Development). Their features are not mentioned in the report, which focuses
exclusively on direct Data Centre activities and associated networks.

to NRDC Meeting(May 2002)
EXFOR AND CINDA
During 2001-2002 TRANS 4122-4126 were sent to other centers. The total number of
entries is 222 (20 entries are new, 202 entries are corrected).
During 1999 –2000 because of some technical problems CJD did not send information
into CINDA base. As а result of fruitful cooperation with NDS the solution was found andCJD eliminated backlog in CINDA entry transmission. All the works up to now werecompiled and transmitted. Now we are checking CINDA completeness concerning preprints,
proceedings of International Seminar on Interaction of Neutrons with Nuclei in Dubna
Meetings and et al.
Since November 2001 the following activity was made in CINDA compilation: 6 files(CJD-038-042) with 5587 entries in Exchange format and 5 files with 249 entries in READER
format were prepared and transmitted.
It is necessary to emphasize that all this activity was possible due to fruitful cooperation
with the NDS and great help and attention given by V.Pronyaev, M.Lammer, L.Costello.
EVALUATION ACTIVITY
The work is in progress on steady level in analysis and evaluation of threshold reaction
excitation functions on the basis of empirical systematics. As а base for analysis and data
improvement we use mainly ADL-3 library and comparison with EAF-99 library in thosecases where EAF-99 data are different from ADL-3 data. Now we are engaged in analysis andevaluation of excitation function for radioactive isotopes. In many cases we reveal very
surprising curves and try to correct them considerably or evaluate new ones as а result ofcomparison with our systematics.
Recently all the (n,d) reaction excitation functions for all isotopes from C up to Mo were
evaluated using some systematical trends based on the Crimes and Height experiments andtheoretical consideration concerning (n,d) reaction mechanism.
The work was continued on evaluation of full files of fissile isotopes. Last year we again
analyzed, corrected and supplemented the following files: Np-237, Am-241, Am-242m, Am243, Cm-243, Cm-244.
The work on formation of the fission product yield library is close to the end.
The evaluation of photonuclear cross sections for U-235 and U-238 was made up to
200 MeV.

The analysis and evaluation of the spectra and production cross sections of gamma rays formain structural and technological materials, made recently, will be published in VANT,
Yadernye Konstanty.
This year we are engaged in re-evaluation of full files for Cm-242, Cm-245. We think on
the basis of new theoretical calculations to evaluate some fission product files from
BROND-2. First of all the files for Ru, Pd, Nd, Sm isotopes will be evaluated.

for the
IAEA Technical Meeting:
Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres
27-30 May 2002
F.E. Chukreev
Nuclear Structure and Reaction Data Centre
Kurchatov's Institute, Moscow
Our Exfor activity had three main directions:
1. Compilation for A-Library
After the last meeting in 2000, we prepared A050, A051 and A052 TRANS files.
These TRANS files contains monitor reaction data, astrophysical data, fission data. The files
include new entries and some corrected old entries. Some Entries, which have analogues in Cand T-libraries are deleted.
2. Status of B-library
I would like to hope that the work for transformation B-entries to today EXFOR rules
is finished.
It is needed to remark, that we used original compilations of Munzel’s group, whichwere received from Karlsruhe. Practically all original publications were read again and many
informal corrections were included. Duplicated entries were excluded too. I would like toremark the existing of another versions of B-library. More detailed information about different
versions of EXFOR entries is presented in V. Varlamov’s report. My opinion: all Nuclear
Reaction Data Centres must have identical entries. If similar differences will be kept, using of
our libraries will be complicated, because citation of EXFOR entries will not be exact.
Therefore CAJAD recommend to refuse from old versions B-library.
3. Team-work with NEA DATA-BANK
During the year 2001, 100 entries were prepared for O-library.
These entries contain data for elastic and inelastic scattering, production cross sectionof radioactive and stable isotopes, data for material analysis by charged beams. This work isorientated for nuclear wastes transmutation, medical applications and material analysis.
4. Data dissemination
We met some difficulties to organize the Internet site for our Centre. Therefore we
decide to use the site of V. Varlamov’s Centre. Our collaboration is very useful for bothCentres, as I think. The collaboration permits to decrease expenditures and accelerate
preparing data for dissemination. Our Centre, in EXFOR area, has the responsibility totransform new TANS files in needed format and transmit them to Moscow State University.
- 49 -

Usually CDFE receives new data in one-two days after appearance of new TRANS files atopen area of NDS.
More detailed information about the site will be presented by V.V. Varlamov. At thesame time I would like to remark that the data dissemination through Internet has a reverse
side: we have no information about requests of our users. Probably, some time later we will
have the possibility to fix up the requests.
Therefore we know requests only from the groups, which invite our Centre toparticipate in their investigations. In EXFOR area we participate in medium energy
investigations of ITEP, which measured production cross sections of radioactive isotopes bycharge particle beams with energy 100.-1000 MeV/nucleon. For example, we received arequest to find data (or calculate cross sections) for suitable monitor reaction for C-12, Al-27
and copper beams in 100 -1000 MeV/nucleon energy region.
5. Additional remarks
During many years of our activity in the compilation area, we accumulated a large
experience in communication with authors. All understand that data tables are more preferable
than figures in publications. We met different attitude to our requests for data tables indifferent groups. For example, we have full, without any exclusion, data tables from thegroup of Fragment Separator of GSI. Some authors send their data even without our requests.
But these examples are exclusive. Most authors, from developing countries especially, do not
reply at our requests. I believe it is because the data tables are lost. I see two reasons why they
are lost.
First, it is very often that after the work is finished the group is breaded up. Somebody,
who had responsibility for data processing and presentation, leaves the group for anotherlaboratory and his connection with the group disappears. At these conditions it is impossible
to find data tables. Second, some authors are afraid, that their data will be criticized at thecentre or the data will be used by the centre and the authors will loose their priority. Could
NDS help us to receive charge particle data from developing countries?
Data tables have been lost in developed country too. I would like to mention only two
European papers:
1. The results of very important experiment on pion production cross section in subthreshold area (published in PR/C). Each negative pion will create a “star” withnumber neutrons. Therefore the data are important for nuclear wastes
transmutation. The data were measured in Sweden by an international group. We
could only find data for positive pions at interaction of protons with nitrogen. Allother data are presented as little size figures, which are not suitable to scan.
2. The results of production cross sections for interaction of protons with several
important elements obtained in United Kingdom.
Unfortunately I have no proposal how to save the numerical data.

Progress Reportto the IAEA Technical Meeting on the “Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres”(27 - 30 May 2002, OECD NEA, Paris, France)

This report contains the short review of the works carried out by the CDFE concern the
IAEA Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network activities for the period of time from the IAEA
Technical NRDC Meeting (28 - 30 May 2001, Vienna) till the end of May 2002 and thedescription of the main results obtained.
1. The new CDFE EXFOR TRANS M031 has been produced and transmitted to the
IAEA NDS. The TRANS contains (Annex 1) 11 retransmitted and 11 new (M0624 - M0634)
ENTRYs with 54 data SUBENTs. A big amount of EXFOR charge particle data ENTRYs has
been added (in cooperation with CAJaD (Dr. F.E.Chukreev)) to the CDFE relational“Nuclear Reaction Database (EXFOR)”.
2. The CDFE photonuclear databases have been put upon the Web-site(http://depni.npi.msu.su/cdfe) before were upgraded significantly by adding a new data andsoftware improvement:•
the “2000” part was added to the “Photonuclear Data Index” (the “2001” and“2002” parts are in processing) as whole the “Photonuclear Data Index 1955 2000” database was added by a significant amount of entries from /1/; data sets
are available in forms of table for articles included into EXFOR;•
the CDFE database "Giant Dipole Resonance Parameters" was upgradedsignificantly: many data sets were added, many integrated cross section andintegrated cross section first moment data were calculated and included.
3. The new relational data base “ Low (ћω ≤ 3 keV) Energy Isomer Transition Internal
Conversion Probabilities” was produced in cooperation with CAJaD (Dr. F.E.Chukreev) using
the data /2/; conversion of some low-energy transitions of ΛL = E1 - E4, M1 - M3
multipolarities (E1I1 → E2I2 (ћω = E1 - E2 ≤ 3 keV; I1,I2 - nucleus initial and final states spins,
correspondingly) on the external electronic shells (4p3/2 - 7d5/2) in the nuclei 90Nb, 99Tc, 103Rh,
110
Ag, 140,142Pr, 153,159Gd, 160Tb, 165Tm, 171Lu, 183W, 188Re, 193Pt, 201Hg, 205Pb, 236Pa, 250Bk
were investigated for the case of an isolated atom; the probabilities of the conversion
transitions were calculated in framework of the Hartri-Fock-Slater method with the electron
wave functions, obtained by integrating numerically the Dirac equations in the atomic field;
the calculations were carried out for the normal configuration of the valence bans of the above
listed atoms; the search is possible (Annex 2) for Z, A, ΛL and shell (N, L, J); result example
is presented in Annex 3.
4. The new powerful scientific tool “Calculator for Nuclear Reaction Threshold
and Energy Values” (Annex 4) was produced using the nucleus mass data from other CDFE
relational data base “Nuclear Ground State Parameters” (all needed mass data from /3/) in
addition to previously developed database “Main Photonuclear Reaction Thresholds”;
using the Calculator one can easily obtain both threshold and energy values (Annex 5) for any- 51 -

reaction with definite incident particle (γ-quantum, neutron, charged particle, …) and any
combinations of outgoing particles for all nuclei contained in atomic nuclei mass table /3/.
5. The content of EXFOR ENTRYs upon 3 Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
Network
Web-sites(http://depni.npi.msu.su/cdfe,
http://www-nds.iaea.or.at,andhttp://www.nndc.bnl.gov) has been checked using the possibilities of the CDFE relational
EXFOR database.
Many errors of two types:•
format errors (shifts, missing or extra commas etc.) and•reaction description errors (CODEs absent in Dictionary 36)
have been founded (Annex 6) and listed in CDFE Memo CP-M/16.
The main result is that we have many ENTRYs in Internet (not only with errors, but
without errors also) which exist in two-three versions. Some of them differ quite strongly (forexample, CDFE ENTRY A0014 obtained from F.Chukreev contains 7 SUBENTRIES, but thesame number ENTRY on NNDC site contains one SUBENTRY only).
Therefore for situation improvement the following questions could be discussed:•
Is it good that we have several versions of the ENTRYs with the same number inInternet? If “not”, how could we improve the situation?
•
Must we check all old ENTRYs by today checking codes?
•
Must we correct the most obvious (format) errors as soon as possible?
•
Must we do this job in coordination? By what procedure?
•
Must we additionally discuss the way to correct not obvious reaction description
errors?
•What about modification of Dictionary 36?
6.
Many errors found out in the CDFE ENTRYs concern the item 5 of this report
have been corrected (Annex 6) and include into the CDFE TRANS M031 (Annex 1).
The main items of CDFE future short-term programmes, priorities and new tasks are listed
in Annex 7.

China Nuclear Data Center (CNDC) Status Report
Zhuang Youxiang
1. General Situation
1.1 Nuclear Data Evaluation
CENDL-3.0 was developed during 1996 - 2001, it includes 214 nuclides for general
purpose. Among them, the data of 169 nuclides were newly evaluated or reevaluated.
Comparing to CENDL-2.1 and other evaluated libraries, the data were updated and improved.
For structure materials, the data were given for both natural element and their isotopes, andare consistent between them. For fission product nuclides, the data were completely newly
evaluated. For light nuclides, the data of double differential cross section can be made much
improved. The data are being tested for some thermal, fast reactor assembles and some leak
spectrum experiments. Some problems have been found and are being improved; for example,(1) double differential cross sections of light nuclides 6,7Li, and 9Be; (2) fission neutron
spectra of 233,235,238U and 239,240Pu; (3) a complete set of data for unstable and/or short-lived
nuclides; (4) excitation function of fission-product yield.
The present status of CENDL-3.0 is shown in Table 1.

1.2 Validation of CENDL-3.0
The Benchmarks testing of CENDL-3.0 has been done for some homogeneous fast
reactors with the continuous Monte Carlo code MCNP and AMPX code system, and forthermal reactors with reactor lattice code WIMSD etc.. The comparisons of calculated resultswith different evaluated nuclear data libraries were also made.
In most thermal and fast uranium criticality benchmarks, the calculated Keff values with
CENDL-3.0 are in good agreements with experimental results. In small fast cores with 233U
fuel, good results of Keff values are given with CENDL-3.0, due to reevaluation of 233U fission
cross sections.
For most uranium assemblies, CENDL-3.0 shows better agreements with references
experimental cases. In the benchmarks testing for both uranium metal fuel lattice assemblies
and uranium oxide fuel lattice assemblies, the Keff values calculated with ENDF/B-6.7 areunderestimated. We can see that the excellent Keff values with CENDL-3.0 are given. The
reason is that the inelastic cross section data of 238U from CENDL-3.0 show better agreementswith the most experimental results compared to the corresponding data in the ENDF/B-6.7
library. 238U inelastic scattering effect of ENDF/B-6 makes assemblies spectrum harder and- 61 -

underestimates the fission contributions of 235U, so that the Keff values calculated with
ENDF/B-6 are underestimated.
It is well known that 238U data affects strongly on the calculated results of reactor physics
parameters and their trend, due to high concentration in the uranium fuel reactors. It is
obvious that 238U data of CENDL-3.0 are better than those of ENDF/B-6.7 for most reactors
calculations, especially for thermal reactors calculations.
In the plutonium fast cores, the Keff values were improved significantly with CENDL-3.0.
This is duo to reevaluation of the fission spectrum and elastic angular distributions of 239Pu
and 240Pu from CENDL-2.1 to CENDL –3.0.
In the spherical or cylindrical assemblies of plutonium or uranium with beryllium
reflector, the Keff values were improved considerably with CENDL-3.0, due to modification ofelastic angular distribution and the (n,2n) cross sections of 9Be, but CENDL-3.0 still
underestimated the Keff values compared with other evaluated data libraries for mostassemblies. It’s necessary to do further improvement for the data of beryllium from CENDL3.0.
Benchmark testing for some structure materials has been done at CNDC. It can be seenthat further improvement for data of iron is needed, and further benchmarks testing will bedone with these materials.
The data testing for fission product nuclides has been done at CNDC. The reactor
spectrum averaged (n,γ) cross sections were calculated and compared with the measured ones.
Good results are given for most fission product nuclides compared with other nuclear datalibraries. This is because of using the newest experimental data and adding the direct inelastic
scattering for the evaluated data.
1.3 Future WorkA new five year plan (from 2001 to 2005) was made for the nuclear data development. It
is certainly that CENDL-3.0, both general purpose data file and special purpose data file, will
be developed further to CENDL-3.1. The general purpose data file will include more nuclides
and more files (for example covariance data files). More fission product nuclides will also be
included. The data for important nuclides will be improved further. The resonance parameters
will be investigated and evaluated. The fission yield data and decay data will be continuously
evaluated.
The nuclear data measurement, evaluation and validation will still be combined in
CENDL-3.0 improvement and development.

1. JENDL-3 revision 3 (JENDL-3.3: General Purpose File)
The data improvement of JENDL-3.2 started in April 1997. Then after 5 years endurable
work, JENDL-3.3 has been completed by March 2002 and released in May 2002 officially as aconsolidated new version of JENDL. This is a cooperative work done by JAERI NDC(Nuclear Data Center) and JNDC (Japanese Nuclear Data Committee).
The main features of JENDL-3.3 are summarized as follows:
1) Enrichment of covariance data
Covariance data are supplied for major reactor constituents, such as major actinides,
structural materials and main coolants, to be used for the applications of FBR, LWR and
Fusion reactors. This was done so as to be able to make estimation of quantitative contributionof nuclear data uncertainty to design accuracy or safety margin. Only one nuclide (Mn-55)
covariance data was supplied in the JENDL-3.2.
2) New material evaluation important for high burn-up application
Evaluations of new material not available in JENDL-3.2 are made. For example, Er isotopes
are important as burnable poisons in LWR in high burn-up applications.
3) Adoption of isotope evaluation policy
From this version isotope evaluation policy is introduced against the natural element
evaluation policy taken in the JENDL-3.2. Up to the JENDL-3.2, natural element data wasprepared usually for a natural element material (i.e., isotopes data are aggregated in one
material) data. At the same time, there exist isotope data. In some cases, inconsistency
between natural and isotope data were alive. So as to solve the inconsistency we haveclaimed that for transport calculations in nuclear reactors, natural elements data arerecommended to use and for dosimetry or activation applications, data given by isotopic
evaluations are recommended. But there happened miss use so much. Therefore we changed
the policy.
4) Enrichment of secondary gamma-ray production data
Secondary gamma-ray production data are newly incorporated for many nuclides needed in
Fusion applications. The number of nuclides with gamma-ray production data was increased
from 66 to 114.
5) Individual Evaluationa. Heavy Nuclides (Modified Cross-sections)
A simultaneous evaluation of fission cross-sections for U-233, U-235, U-238, Pu-239,
Pu-240 and Pu-241 was made. A least squares method was applied to selected absoluteand relative measurements on the fission cross sections. Covariance matrices of theexperimental data were constructed from the uncertainty information reported in theoriginal references of each measurements.
U-233: URR(Un-resolved Resonance), 2n (n,2n), 3n (n,3n) and nu (neutrons per fission).
U-235: RR(Resolved Resonance) (Leal’s evaluation), URR, 2n, 3n, 4n, nu andfission spectrum evaluated by multi-mode fission model.
U-238: 2n,3n,4n, capture in MeV range, partial level inela.
Pu-240:RR, URR, 2n,3n,4n and partial level inela.

- 65 -

Pu-242:RR(fission width), 2n,3n and partial level inela.
Problem of neutron emission spectrum is solved by GNASH+GAMFIL calculation.
Capture cross section in MeV range is calculated by newly developed code DSD;
calculation code of Direct/Semi-Direct Capture cross-sections.
b. Medium Mass Nuclides
Na: Inela. cross section (Geel + TNG code calculation)
Ti-46,47,48,49,50: threshold reaction, gamma production, elastic scattering angular
distributions.
V: RR, total cross section above 100keV by Geel data and gamma production data.
Cr-50,52,53,54: RR and gamma production data.

Ni-58,60,61,62,64: Inela., threshold reaction, neutron emission spectra using SINCROS
code.
Nb-93: capture gamma reflecting pre-equilibrium.
W-182,183,184,186: RR, threshold reaction, gamma production data.
Er-162,164,166,167,168,170: Complete new evaluation reflecting newly obtained
capture data measured by TIT(Tokyo Institute of Technology).
2. JENDL Special Purpose Files
The following special purpose files other than JENDL-3.3 general purpose file are being
developed in Japan. Their status is given below.
JENDL Fusion File
The latest version of JENDL Fusion File (JFF) was released in 1999 to provide precise
double-differential neutron and charged particle emission data by using MF6 representation of
the ENDF-6 format. The evaluation was made for the data of H, D, 6,7Li, 9Be, 12C, 14N, 16O,
19F, 27Al, Si, Ca, Ti, 51V, Cr, 55Mn, Fe, 59Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, 75As, Zr, 93Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, W,
Pb and 209Bi. For H, D, Li, N and O, the data of JENDL-3.2 are directly adopted. The
revision works for the nuclides excepting the light mass ones have been performed by the
SINCROS-II code system which consists of GNASH, DWUCK, CASTHY and several
auxiliary programs. Those results were examined by comparing with DDX measured at
Tohoku and Osaka Universities. For the data of light mass nuclei, individual evaluation has
been done. A lot of nuclides were adopted as FENDL-2 from this file. Formal evaluation
paper was published as “Chiba S., Fukahori T., Shibata K. et.al: JENDL Fusion File 99,J.
Nucl. Sci.Technol., 39,187 (2002)”.
JENDL Actinide File
This file will provide the data of main and minor actinides about 90 nuclei(Tl to ES)
more than 1 day half life from 10-5 eV to 20 MeV in energy. The revision work of major andminor actinides has been made and their results were adopted in JENDL-3.3. The revision
work for minor actinides not available in JENDL-3.3 will be continued in the coming several
years. The results of the reevaluation will be stored in JENDL Actinide File.
Since 1994, International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) project for
Measurements and Evaluation of miner actinide nuclei has been started at Institute of Physics
and Power Engineering (IPPE, Obninsk Russia, #304.), V.I. Khlopin Radium Institute (KRI,
StPetersburg Russia, #183.) and Radiation Physics and Chemistry Problem Institute (RPCPI,
Minsk Belarus, #B-03). After that the forth project started to measure fission cross-sections of- 66 -

minor actinides in medium energy range, i.e.,1 to 200 MeV by Petersburg Nuclear Physics
Institute (PNPI St.Petersburg Russia, #609.) A project of actinide nuclear data evaluation for
Th cycle started April 2000 (RPCPI, Minsk Belarus, #B-404). The last one is currently
underway.
JENDL Dosimetry FileThe working group on Dosimetry cross sections in JNDC has been published a new file
JENDL Dosimetry File 99 and dissolved the WG. The cross section data of old version,
JENDL Dosimetry File 91, were revised for 33 materials and their covariance matrices were
replaced with new ones. Integral tests were also made. The file was released in FY99.and thedata are also released with a CD-ROM, which is freely available through NDC/JAERI.
Contents are 67 reactions with point-wise and 671 group structures data. An official
evaluation report was published as “Kobayashi K., Iguchi T., Iwasaki S., at. al.:JENDL
Dosimetry File 99 (JENDL/D-99), JAERI-1344 (2001)”.
JENDL Activation Cross Section File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL Activation Cross Section File wascompleted and released in March 1996 as JENDL-A96. This first version stores the data for
233 nuclei and 1246 reactions. The final report is under preparation. Revision of the files isforeseen in the near future considering the feedback information from the ad hoc group for
threshold reaction evaluation working group in JNDC.
JENDL Alpha-n Data File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL Alpha-n Data File has been progressed by
Charged Particle Nuclear Data Working Group. This file is requested from Shielding Group
and/or Nuclear Criticality Safety Group especially for the applications of spent fueltransportations and stockades or reprocessing plant design. Neutron behaviors are very
important for the treatment of spent fuels due to the neutrons are born from alpha emitters ofminor/major actinides converted from major actinides of fuels. Total of 32 nuclides for Li-6,
7, Be-9, B-10, 11, C-12, 13, N-14, 15, O-17, 18, F-19, Na-23, Al-27, Si-28, 29, 30, Cr-50, 52,
53, 54, Fe-54, 56, 57, 58, Ni-58, 60, 61,62,64, Cu-63, 65.will be stored. UP to now except Si
the evaluation is finished. File release is expected in FY2002.
JENDL FP Decay Data File
Evaluation and compilation work for JENDL FP Decay Data File has been completed bysub-group in Decay Heat Evaluation Working Group of JNDC. This file is a succession of theformer JNDC Decay Data Library compiled in private JNDC format. The newly released file
is compiled in ENDF-6 Format. The file contains decay data for 1229 FP nuclides consistingof 142 stable and 1087 unstable nuclides. For each nuclides following data are given; decay
modes, their Q values and branching ratios, average decay energy values of beta-rays, gammarays and alpha-particles and their spectral data. This file is inevitable for the decay heatcalculations for the power reactors. This file was released in FY2000 and named as JENDLFP Decay Data File 2000. The official evaluation report was published as “Katakura J., et al.
:JENDL FP Decay Data File 2000, JAERI-1343 (2001)”.
JENDL High Energy Files
The evaluation of data for high-energy neutrons and protons has been initiated in JNDC.
They will make data files for neutrons up to 50 MeV and for neutrons and protons up to 3
GeV.

- 67 -

The former files will be used for the IFMIF project that JAERI participates. The
evaluation of neutron data up to 50 MeV has been made for almost all necessary nuclides.
The evaluation results for neutron are being reviewed. After review, the data will be
combined with JENDL Fusion File or JENDL-3.3 below 20 MeV. The file release will beenvisaged in FY2002.
The latter files will be used for design of accelerators, transmutation systems of highlevel waste, medical applications and so on. Stored nuclides are listed in Table-1. Among thelist, evaluations for first and second categories were already finished for neutron and proton
induced reactions up to 3 GeV. A test data file is compiled and benchmark test is in progress.
The file release will be envisaged after the benchmark test, we expect distribution starts within
FY2002.
JENDL PKA/KERMA File
This file stores the spectra of primary knock-on atoms (PKA) and KERMA factors. The
data to be stored are created from the data files(JENDL High Energy File) up to 50 MeV madefor the IFMIF project. A couple of processing codes to create the file from evaluated nuclear
data file, by using the effective single particle emission approximation, have been developed
and tested. The test compilation has been performed from JENDL Fusion File for the 69
isotope data except light mass nuclei below 20 MeV. The file release will be made in FY2002.
JENDL Photonuclear Data File
The evaluation has been finished for 46 isotopes; 2D, 12C, 14N, 16O, 23Na,
24,25,26Mg, 27Al, 28,29,30Si, 40,48Ca, 46Ti, 51V, 52Cr, 55Mn, 54,56Fe, 59Co, 58,60Ni,
63,65Cu, 90Zr, 93Nb, 92,94,96,98,100Mo, 133Cs, 160Gd, 182,183,184,186W, 197Au,
206,207,208Pb, 209Bi and 235,238U in the gamma-ray energy range up to 140 MeV. Their
compilation in the ENDF-6 format and the critical review are in progress. The file will be
released in FY2002 also.
3. Other Activity Relating to Nuclear Data
1) ND2001: International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology
The International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology (ND2001)
was held 7-12th October 2001 at the EPOCHAL Tsukuba International Congress Center in
Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. The Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI) sponsored andorganized in collaboration with OECD Nuclear Energy Agency – Nuclear Science Committee(NEA/NSC) and Atomic Energy Society of Japan (AESJ) as the co-sponsors. Total of 375
scientists from 41countries and 4 international organizations participated in the conference, of
which 207 persons come from abroad. Total of 375 papers were presented including 4
keynotes and 3 summary talks in the 40 sessions; i.e., 50 invited talks, 116 oral and 202 poster
contributed papers. One third of the presented papers are in the topics of Nuclear Reaction
Data and Evaluated data Libraries. The other one third is devoted to the applications in energy
production including ADS applications and Industry or Medical applications. The rest one
third is devoted for forefront of Nuclear Reaction Theory, Astrophysics, Facilities for new
century and steady progress in International Collaborations. An emphasis was laid down on
the application of the Nuclear Data to ADS due to the increased interests in the world-wide
environmental concern on nuclear high level waste. And data applications in the Astrophysics
are also enthusiastically debated in connection with nuclear synthesis of the universe.
The proceedings will be published by July 2002 as a supplement to Journal of Nuclear
Science and Technology of Japan Atomic Energy Society, including all the reviewed invitedand contributed papers.

Appendix Activities of Japanese Nuclear Data Committee (Fiscal year 2001)
The Japanese Nuclear Data Committee (JNDC) consists of three subcommittees, six
standing groups and a steering committee. Each subcommittee consists of several working
groups (WG). The Committee Meeting of JNDC was held in July 2001 to discuss the nuclear
data activity in the previous fiscal year and plans for the fiscal year 2001. Discussions weremade on several topics including the final preparation status of ND2001: International
Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology to be held in TSUKUBA as well as
domestic and international collaboration on nuclear data.
The ND2001 was held in 7-12th October 2001 at the EPOCHAL Tsukuba International
Congress Center in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. As the side effect, both of the 2001 Symposium
on Nuclear Data, which is held every year in November, and a specialists’ meeting on somespecial topics, which is a topical meeting held every year on the selected hottest topics in that
period, were cancelled.
The activities of subcommittees and standing groups are briefly summarized below.
Subcommittee on Nuclear Data
1) High Energy Nuclear Data Evaluation WG :The evaluation is progressing parallel in two phases. In the phase-I, the data up to 50 MeV
for IFMIF(International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility) project are targeted for neutron
and proton induced reactions. In the phase-II, evaluations for high-energy neutron/proton
induced reactions up to 3GeV are ongoing. Data requests are very keen by the joint projects
for High Intensity Proton Accelerator of Center for Neutron Research in JAERI and KEK(High Energy Accelerator Research Organizations). Following is the status of each SWG.
࡮IFMIF Neutron File Compilation SWG: Neutron file compilation is the main task of this
SWG. Up to now, evaluation of 43 nuclides has been finished. The files are in the final
reviewing stage after the FORMAT check.
࡮MeV and GeV File compilation SWG: Compilation and evaluation of phase-II data is amain mission. Evaluations for the priority 2 nuclides (about 40 nuclides) has been
performed together with the code preparation inevitable for the fundamental evaluation
tools in this energy range(Quick-Gnash, QMD, JAM ). Evaluation started for the priority
3 nuclides.
࡮Other Sub-Groups like Photonuclear Data, PKA/KERMA, High Energy Activation
Cross-sections, and Guideline discussion group for differential data checking also havebeen progressed.
2)Evaluation and Calculation System WG :Recommended parameters required in the nuclear model calculations such as OMP, level
density, gamma strength functions, as well as advanced methodologies like multi-modal
fission, essence from the latest frontiers of theoretical calculations are discussed. The results
will be reflected to RIPL-2(Reference Input Parameter Library Version 2).
3) Charged Particle Nuclear Data WG : This WG is responsible for the JENDL (alpha,n)Reaction File. Evaluation has been finished and a file will be produced within a year. This
group was dissolved at the end of March 2002 due to the completion of the missions..
4) Delayed Neutron Data Evaluation WG: This group was set up due to the follow up workof OECD/NEA/WPEC(Working Party on Evaluation Cooperation) subgroup 13 toinvestigate the delayed neutron data related problems. Evaluations of delayed neutron yields
and spectra for main actinides of JENDL 3.3(U-235,-238, Pu-239) are also the mission ofthis group. Data evaluation in 6 group time dependent scheme has been made.

- 70 -

5) Evaluation WG on Intermediate Mass Nuclides: This WG was set up due to the revision
fork for JENDL-3.3. Re-evaluation work and relevant checking has been finished for Na-23,
V-51, Co-59, Cr, Ti, Ni, W, Nb and Er (total of 32 nuclides). Some follow up from theresults of benchmark tests were made. This group has been dissolved by the end of March
2002 due to the completion of JENDL-3.3.
6) Evaluation WG on Heavy Mass Nuclides: This WG was set up due to the revision work
for JENDL-3.3. Re-evaluation work has been made for U-233, -235,-236,-238, and Pu-236,239,-240,-241,-242. Working group has been watching the feedback information frombenchmark tests made by subcommittee of reactor constants. This group has been dissolvedby the end of March 2002 due to the completion of the mission.
Subcommittee of Reactor Constants
1) Reactor Integral Test WG : Benchmark test of JENDL-3.3 tentative version for fast andthermal reactors has been made. Although over all agreements (C/E values) in Keff forthermal system as well as fast system revealed superior than JENDL 3.2 data. Problems forover estimation on Keff for SUS reflected cores are dissolved by the reevaluation of Cr
data. No major problems are found.
2) Shielding Integral Test WG :For the tentative version of JENDL-3.3, benchmark test were made for main shielding
materials such as Al, Si, Na, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Nb, W. All the results were fed backto the evaluation WG on intermediate mass nuclides. Much effort has been given to Na, Fe,
Cr and Ni data reevaluation.
3) Standard Group Constants WG : Revision work for JSSTDL library has been
progressed. Report of the JSSTDL-300 are being prepared. Direction of group constants
preparation for JENDL-3.3 has been discussed.
Subcommittee on Nuclear Fuel Cycle
The subcommittee on nuclear fuel cycle consists of three WGs, i.e., Decay Heat Evaluation
WG, WG on Evaluation of Nuclide Generation and Depletion, and FP Mass Yield Evaluation
WG.
For the first WG, FP Decay Data File has been completed and released as JENDL FP Decay
Data File 2000. A plan for new measurement of strength function of beta decay at Valencia
University(TAGS) was presented and discussions were made how to contribute the project by
JNDC. For the second WG, new entry for PWR and BWR-MOX has been added to ORIGEN2 Library and published a report. Methodology for the evaluation of sensitivity in one groupcross section is discussed. To pole for questionnaire of ORIGEN Calculation Needs has been
decided and preparation work has been made. For the last WG, this group was organized so as
to work with IAEA CRP. To give precise mass yields data for minor actinides as well as
major actinides covering the wide range of incident neutron/proton energies is the main
mission. Collection of mass yields data evaluated/measured in Japan was made. The
systematic made by Moriyama and Ohnishi was applied and analyzed and found that for Cm248(p,f) case typical two peak cannot produced. A possibility for updating of recent
Benllinure’s semi-empirical model was investigated. Measurements of mass yields for Np237, Am-241 and 243, Cm-248 by proton bombardment at 25 and 30Mev were made.
Standing Groups
1) CINDA Group : Papers on neutron induced reaction data published in Japanese journals
and reports are surveyed. Total of 289 entries (without ND2001 presentations) were sent to
the NEA Data Bank in the last one year to update the CINDA master database.

- 71 -

2) ENSDF Group : The evaluation of nuclear structure data is the duty of this group for
nuclei with mass numbers from 118 to 129. Re-evaluation work has been made for A= 118
and 124.
3) Group on Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Data for Medical Use : Survey work has been
made for the radiopharmaceutical data needed in the field of nuclear medicine. Home pageof this group was opened to promote and encourage WG missions.
4) JENDL Compilation Group : File compilation and editing were made for the JENDL3.3.
5) Editorial Group of "Nuclear Data News" : Three issues of "Nuclear Data News" (No.6971) which is a periodic informal journal circulated in nuclear data communities of Japan(written in Japanese) were published. Some 450 copies were distributed in the nuclear data
communities without fee.
6) High Priority Request List Group: A revision was made(new entry:3, remove/merge:35,
others:71) for the latest version of HPRL, this is mainly from ADS (Accelerator Driven
System) application’s requests. This group is a coordination group to set up a Japanese
Requests Lists from domestic data users and a world-wide request list HPRL that ismaintained at OECD/NEA/WPEC (Working Party on Evaluation Cooperation).

Japan Charged-Particle Nuclear Reaction Data Group(JCPRG)
Executive Committee
Progress Report to the NRDC Meeting
May 27-30, 2002
General
In 2001, we have carried out the following activities:
Compiling the CPND(Charged Particle Nuclear Reaction Data) (25 entries) produced inJapan with the NRDF(Nuclear Reaction Data File) format.
Translating the NRDF data into the EXFOR data (25 entries, including 15 new).
Working on a new web-based system, so-called HENDEL(Hyper Editor for Nuclear
Data Exchange Language), an online editor-compiler for both NRDF and EXFOR.
Distributing the CPND and promoting its utilization in Japan.
Creating a new system, named SyGRD (Graph Reading and Displaying numerical data),
with an image analysis software.
The regular JCPRG budget has ended this year (2001). Starting from 2002, the budget will bedrawn on a competitive basis, so that we have to apply for it each year separately. The budgetof 2002 was accepted to be almost the same as 2001.
NRDF Data Compiling Activity
In 2001 we newly compiled 25 entries (360 tables, 2.2 MB) based on the data obtained withthe accelerators in Japan. The data for 16% of entries and 123 tables (34%) among 360 tables
were obtained from the authors directly.
EXFOR Translation from NRDF
Recent files made by translation from NRDF to EXFOR are
E016 31 entries
E017 9 entries
E018 7 entries
E019 12 entries
E020 10 (5/10) entries from 15 entries in NRDF compiled in 2000
E021 15 (7/15) entries from 25 entries in NRDF compiled in 2001
We can now convert NRDF files into EXFOR format by HENDEL. However, we found that
the NRDF dictionary must be completed by comparing it with the EXFOR codes in order toperform the conversion smoothly. Furthermore, several codes (e.g. the Institute Codes) should
be proposed as the EXFOR Codes.
Customer Services
Retrieval services of NRDF data by using computers in the Hokkaido University Computing
Center were completely stopped in 2001. Now the retrieval services of NRDF and EXFOR are
available via a WWW homepage: (http://jcprg.sci.hokudai.ac.jp/).
In order to extend the NRDF data service, we are developing a retrieval system based on theIntelligentPad.

2. Experimental works
Cross sections for production of different residual radionuclei induced by low andmedium energy light ion beams are important for a variety of applications and of researchstudies. The experimental data is the basis for applications demanding accurate data and formodel calculations to test the capability of the models and to adjust the optimal parameters.
During the last years we have continued the systematic measurement of excitation functions ofcharged particle reactions for many different applications.
These experiments were done at the MGC 20E cyclotron and VdG-5 accelerator in Debrecen
and at cyclotrons of foreign laboratories in the frame of well established long term
collaboration, in :• the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry (FZ Jülich, Germany)• the Cyclotron Laboratory of the Free University of Brussels (VUB, Brussels, Belgium)• the Cyclotron Radioisotope Center of the Tohoku University (CYRIC, Sendai, Japan)• the Cyclotron Laboratory of the Abo Akademi (Turku, Finland)• the Division of Advanced Technology for Medical Imaging of the National Institute ofRadiological Sciences (Chiba, Japan)• the Radionuclide Production Laboratory of the National Accelerator Centre (Faure,South Africa)
The theoretical calculation of the measured data was done in collaboration with scientists
from• Institute of Theoretical Physics, IPPE, Obninsk, Russia• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, USA• China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing, China
Bellow we have collected the results published in the period covered. Several other excitation
functions of light charged particle induced nuclear reactions on Fe, Cu, Kr, Nb, Mo, Zr, Pd,
Te, Ta, Pt and Bi have been also measured and are in evaluation stage.
2.1. Excitation functions relevant to the production of diagnostic radioisotopes
In the field of the production of diagnostic radioisotopes the nuclear reaction data aremostly used to optimise the production circumstances (high yield, minimal impurity level, lowcost). The data for the production of major positron and gamma emitters requires validation
and additional measurements in selected energy regions. The cross-section database for the
newly introduced positron and gamma emitters is very poor. In many cases basic data are
missing.
For production of diagnostic radioisotopes used in nuclear medicine during the covered
period the following investigations were done.
2.1.1. Positron emitters•

Cross section data for production of 81Rb via the 80Kr(d,n) reaction

2.2. Excitation functions relevant to the production of therapeutic radioisotopes
Therapeutic radioisotopes are playing an emerging role in nuclear medicine. There is along list on radioisotopes either routinely used or undergoing research investigations. Due tothe long half-life the production requires high flux reactors and high intensity accelerators.
The knowledge of production data is essential to optimise the production circumstances undercomplicated circumstances. The database in the field of the neutron-induced reactions is moreor less acceptable. In the field of charged particle reactions the situation is more complex.
Here in most of the cases either no experimental data are available or only contradicting data
sets were published, except a few well-measured reactions. During last years we haveintensified our investigations on the measurements of nuclear data related to this field.

2.3. Excitation functions of monitor reactions
The importance of the monitor reactions is well known in the field of neutron andcharged particle induced reactions. They are broadly used both in irradiations for practicalapplications and for basic research. We extended the list of the charged particle monitor
reactions. We have tried to validate the existing database for series of reactions with integral
measurements. We made dedicated irradiations under identical circumstances to produce
consistent data sets and to make intercomparison of the different monitor reactions. The main
published results:- 80 -

2.4. Excitation functions for TLA technique
The thin layer activation technique is an important field of application of the charged
particle reactions. It is used to follow quantitatively the wear, the corrosion or the erosion
process by detection of the loss of the radioactive material during the investigated industrial or
biological process. The nuclear data are inevitable important to optimise the activation and tofollow wear process. The investigated tools are constructed mostly from metals. Somereactions, therefore, are common with the monitor reactions, considering that the targets formonitor are also metal due to the required physical properties.

• Investigation of deuteron induced nuclear reactions on niobium.
• Investigation of 3He-induced reactions on natural Ti for TLA.

2.4. Isomeric ratios
The investigation of the formation of isomeric pairs has special interest in basic studiesof the mechanism of the nuclear reactions and of the nuclear structure. In the ongoingexperiments significant information have been collected on the population of isomeric states,
but the data evaluation and the model calculation are still in progress. The isomeric ratios
have been measured for the following reactions:

Data compilation and evaluation

3.1. EXFOR compilations
In the frame of collaboration of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centers the following
compilation were made with assistance of the IAEA NDS:
• 97 “short” entrees for CRP on medical radioisotopes• 35 entrees mostly from ATOMKI and FZ Jülich
3.2. Charged particle cross-section database for medical radioisotope production:
diagnostic radioisotopes
Medical application of nuclear technology is very important for every country. A project
was started at 1996 with co-ordination of the IAEA to produce recommended cross-section
data base for charged particle induced reactions relevant to production of radioisotopes used
for medical diagnostic and for related reactions to monitor beam parameters. The database
contains 86 reactions. In the reported period, two members ATOMKI group have been
participated in the following work:• Finalisation of the database.
• Preparation of the TECDOC.
• Preparation of the Web page.
• Updating and corrections.

3.3

Cross-section database for production of 103Pd from Rh, 123,124I from Te, 201Tl fromTl

In the production process of medical radioisotopes the so called "targetry" plays very
important role. For standardisation of high intensity solid targets a co-ordinated project was
initiated by the IAEA: "Standardised High Current Targets for Production of Diagnostic andTherapeutic Radionuclides". The project deals with all aspects of the production of 103Pd,
123,124
I and 201Tl radioisotopes by using Rh, Te and Tl targets including yields, radionuclidic
purities, and radiation dose from the targets and from the backings. The production requires
reliable cross section database for the main and the unwanted parallel reactions taking placeon realistic target composition. Compilation and evaluation have been started for theparticipating stable isotopes of targets and for the backing materials:• About 40 proton and deuteron induced reactions on isotopes of Te.
• 2 reactions on Rh.
• 3 reactions on Tl.
• Reactions on Pt, Ir, Cu, Rh.

3.4. Charged particle cross-section database for thin layer activation technique
To deduce depth-activity curves either new measurement has to be done on theinvestigated material or knowledge of the nuclear reaction data and of the elemental
composition are required. The detailed measurements are very time consuming; therefore in
most cases it is more fruitful to obtain the activity distribution with calculation and to perform
checking and validation only at few points with more simple experiments. Unfortunately
presently no evaluated cross section database exists for thin layer activation studies. In an
earlier co-ordinated project a preliminary cross-section database was reported for TLA
applications. In the database the reported calibration functions and integral yields are based on
direct measurements and mostly on excitation functions obtained in the literature. We havefound large disagreement in several cases between our recently measured integral yields andthe data sets reported in the mentioned database. Therefore for practical use in the ATOMKI
an independent database for TLA is under development by using evaluated cross section data.
Presently it contains p, d, 3He and alpha-particle induced reactions up to 30-40 MeV on thefollowing elements:
Al, Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Rh, Pd, Cd, W, Ta, Pt

Methodology for measurements and application of nuclear data for practical
purposes

At the Cyclotron Department in the ATOMKI the nuclear data measurement and the data
evaluation is performed only in part time. The members of the department have an every day
task in the field of routine radioisotope production for medical and other purposes, inirradiations for wear measurement and for charged particle activation analysis. In connection
with the nuclear data measurements and with the application it was necessary to performseveral methodical investigations:4.1. Methodical investigations for nuclear data measurement•

Gas density reduction by using gas targets.

•

Measurement of energy averaged cross section and integral yields by using thintargets.
Determination of charged particle beam energy/intensity uncertainties at a multi-target
irradiation.

•

4.2. Investigations in application of nuclear data••••

Applications of small energy cyclotrons for thin layer activation technique.
The use of cross section data for monitoring charged particle beam parameters.
Accelerators used for routine production of PET radioisotopes.
Determination of activation curves on the basis of excitation functions.

Introduction
UKRNDC is operating as the division of the Neutron Physics Department in the Institute for
Nuclear Research of the National Academy of Sciences Ukraine. The staff is partly involved in theexperimental investigations of neutron cross sections at Kyiv Research Reactor.

Compilation
We continue collection and compilation of new experimental data published in
Ukrainian printed sources. As soon as they are ready, they are sent to NDS IAEA to be
included to EXFOR library.
This year we started also the compilation of charge particle data works fulfilled in
Ukraine. After last meeting in 2001 we prepared three entries 32207, 32208 and 32210.
Collaboration•

We continue our collaboration with Laboratory of Engineering Research andTechnology, Slavutych (LERT) in scientific support of Slavutych Nuclear Data Bankand its users. In frame of this activity the teaching course “The use of codes andspecial libraries FSX96, VITAMIN-B6, SNLRML, SINBAD-96 for nuclear-physicalcalculations” (46 hours) was lectured at this laboratory in September 2001.

•

The work under the joint project supported by Science and Technology Center of
Ukraine (STCU Project #1648) Development and support of Nuclear Data Base in
Slavutych for decommissioning of Chornobyl NPP reactor units has started since 1
April 2002. This work is foreseen for three years and this activity is very important for
support our UKRNDC work. We are very much obliged to our collaborators, two ofthem are here: NNDC, USA and NDS, IAEA. Due to their strong support we can plan
our activity for next years.

•

The teaching course “Nuclear Data for Science and Technology ”(72 hours) was
lectured in 2001-2002 for graduate course students of Kyiv University, Physical
Department. This course included the following items: ENDF/B libraries, EXROR
system, ENSDF library, the use of PREPRO codes in the work with ENDF libraries,
the introduction to NJOY94 (NJOY97) code system, the Network of Nuclear Data
Centers and the use of on-line services.

During 2001-2002 the data for users requests were prepared and adapted (from ENDF,
ENSDF and EXFOR libraries, from the special library DAMSIG-84) for our instituteresearchers and for ones from other institutes (Kharkiv Institute of Physics andTechnology, Kyiv National University, Institute of Physics, Kyiv).

•

Reconstruction of UKRNDC site is now in progress and the first turn is now in
operation. This is the help for our customers, especially for those who wish to prepare
the pointwise and multigroup cross sections self-dependently, but do not have a goodexperience in it. Address: http:\\ ukrndc.kinr.kiev.ua\• Set of codes, which is proposed on our site, includes only a part of codes,
developed by C.L. Dunford - Utility Codes (CHECKR, FIZCON, GETMAT,PSYCHE) and by D.E. Cullen - PREPRO2000 (LINEAR, RECENT, SIGMA1,
GROUPIE) to work with evaluated nuclear data libraries. This choice was basedon our experience of work with users - just these codes were in use the mostfrequently in our practice for users requests on codes and data from libraries. To
facilitate the work with these codes we offer to users the short explanatory
information in English and in Ukrainian. Of course, we cite address of sites withfull sets of these codes.
• To facilitate the task input file preparation for Cullen’s codes LINEAR,
RECENT, SIGMA1, GROUPIE we propose on our site the four small codes
LIN0, REC0, SIG0, GROUP0.
• For presentation of the ENDF formatted cross sections (MF=3), obtained after
processing with any of codes LINEAR, RECENT, SIGMA1 or GROUPIE, in atable format we offer the PL_ORI code. This code can be used as a very simple
and useful tools to prepare input file for the graphical package
MicrocalTMOriginTM (see http://www/microcal.com), which is very wide used
now in Ukraine.

Calculation

•

•

The work on Neutron Exitation Function Guide for Reactor Dosimetry (NEFGRD)
was fulfilled. This work was carried out in collaboration with the IAEA NDS staff
member V.Zerkin. Now NEFGRD is in edition as INDC(UKR) report and is placedon IAEA NDS site. It is available for everybody as PDF-file at the address:
http://www-nds.iaea.org/indc_sel.html.
The calculations of absolute difference in cross sections weighted on Cf-252 and U235 spectrum for different dosimetry and ENDF/B libraries have been done. Plots ofthese calculation results are prepared. This work is useful to facilitate the selection
process for IRDF-2002 library.
Special library, including total neutron cross sections of 65 nuclides, for modeling of
neutron filters was prepared using ENDF/B-6 and JENDL-3.2. Some of this library
files were used with the code FILTER_L for neutron spectra calculation of filters,
existing in INR. The results are presented in: ”Neutron Filters at Kyiv Research
Reactor”, Gritzay O.O., Kolotyi V.V., Kaltchenko O.I., Reprint KINR-01-6, 2001, Kyiv
(see http://ukrndc.kinr.kiev.ua/public/)
Analysis of self-shielding factors for Cr, Cr-52 and Ni, using all ENDF libraries was
fulfilled at several energy ranges. These calculations were carried out with the code
- 90 -

•

complex DT_GRO, GROUPIE, SELF. The results were used to present the measured
cross sections on Cr and Cr-52 samples and will be used in further investigations.
We started the calculations of damage cross section based on ENDF libraries forreactor structure materials. These data are needed for NPPs operating in Ukraine.

For all calculations of the pointwise and group cross sections we used PREPRO and/or
NJOY94/97 package codes.
Experimental Neutron Data Measurements••

The total neutron cross section of Cr and Cr-52 was measured at Kyiv Research
Reactor using Neutron Filter Technique. The accuracy of measured cross sections was
better than 1%, as it was requested 3% in The NEA High Priority Nuclear Data List
(1998). These data for neutron energies 24 and 58 keV were compared with the datafrom ENDF libraries and presented to ND2001 Conference (Tsukuba, Japan).
In 2002 this research was prolonged with a set of Cr and Cr-52 samples to investigate
the self-shielding effects. These measurements were fulfilled for energies 24 and 58
keV, the results were presented to the Annual Institute Conference and now they are in
progress for publication.

Future Plans
Experimental investigations•••

To continue the study of the Cr and Cr-52 total neutron cross sections and selfshielding effects for different energies with high accuracy using Neutron Filter
Technique (2, 12, 144 keV and other energies).
The same investigations we plan to start for Ni-nat samples.
To investigate the total neutron cross section in deep minimum of Mn-55 at 275 keV
neutron energy. This minimum is unknown for all Mn-55 data, but it is well seenusing Neutron Filter Technique.

Data analysis and calculation•••

Analysis of ENDF libraries files for the main RBMK structural elements andcomparing with the recent EXFOR and other experimental data with the purpose todevelop the specialized library for MCNP code calculations of RBMK
decommissioning. This work is planned in the framework of the STCU Project #1648.
The other analysis of ENDF files is planned for MCNP library additional files forcalculation of epithermal neutron source needed in BNCT. This work is supportedwith CRDF Project # UP2-2437-KV-02, to be started soon.
We plan to intencify our work in EXFOR compilation also with charge particles and
CINDA references by recruiting the young graduates from Kyiv University.

Compilation.
CNPD continues to compile charged-particle reaction data. In the period from June 2001
to May 2002, 3 transmission tapes (TRANS F011, T009-T010) were sent containing new andcorrected entries.
Experimental data compilation and checking have been made using the VMS operating
system with the help of NNDC software and Windows operating system with the help of theown and CAJaD software.
Collaboration.
We worked in collaboration with the NNDC. CNPD digitizes data produced in the US
and Canada for entries with mark "C" and "T".
As we reported at the last meeting we prepared a project to CRDF in collaboration with
NNDC. The goal of the project is to review and evaluate alpha-induced cross sections fornuclei with 8 ≤ Z ≤ 32 and Ec.m. ≤ 20 MeV. The results of our efforts are not clear up today.
We hope on the best. NNDC and CPND presented the report about it at the International
Conference “Nuclear data in the Science and Technology” that was held in Japan.
Now we prepared another project that we try to pass through ISTC. The objective of thisproject is to create an integrated relational base (IRBD) of data on nuclear reactions, to fill itwith data from libraries EXFOR/CSISRS, NSR, specialized PNI library, science andengineering journals and other similar information sources. We plan to fulfill this work incollaboration with other Russian centers. We hope that NRDC meeting supports our effort andpleads with representatives of France and Japan for sending the official letters to theirfinancial ISTC committees.
Software.
Now we develop new SaBa’s interface, extend the range of the nuclei (up to Fluorine)
and include thermonuclear reaction rates calculations. The results of this work we presented in
October 2001 at the International Conference in Japan (“Nuclear data in the Science andTechnology”). CNPD plans to send it to the IAEA at the end of this year.
New software for digitizing curves is in progress. Unfortunately, there are a few
mistakes in the old version.
The EXFOR data were input to the NDX system. Now NDX includes all international
nuclear data libraries excluding NSR and CINDA.
Evaluation and experiments.
The evaluation and experiment activity was stimulated by participation of the CNPD
staff in some international projects.
In 2001 the new ISTC project K-497 was started. It is financed by USA. The main goalof this project is to measure and calculate charged particles induced cross sections for the lightnuclei including Fluorine. In the frame of this project:- 93 -

••••New 11B(p,γ) reaction measurements were carried out at RFNC-VNIIEF. The results
were reported on the International Conference in Japan (“Nuclear data in the Scienceand Technology”).
New 9Be(p,α2)6Li reaction measurements were made at the end of the last year. The
results will be reported at the conference in Moscow in June 2002.
CNPD plan to reevaluate the 9Be(p, γ)10B and 7Be(p, γ)8B reactions. The results will be
published in the report.
CNPD continues scanning the old journals. The goal of this scanning is to find all
missed papers with the experimental results that are important for the goal of project.

- 95 -

3.4. Proton cross section of C
The differential cross sections C12(p,p’), C12(p,d), C12(p,α), C12(p,He3) were measured
at 35 MeV. The experiment was carried at the KCCH vacuum scattering chamber. Energy
spectrum at 45, 60, 75, 90 degrees were reported. Final result is not published yet.
4.
Data Evaluation
4.1. Neutron Resonance Parameters
The resonance parameters for the fission nuclides are evaluated under collaboration with
BNL/NNDC. The resolved resonance parameters, unresolved parameters, and the bound levelparameters were evaluated. The Mughabghab compilation of 1981, many recent
measurements, and new level density theory are adopted. The evaluated nuclides are Mo-95,
Tc-99, Ru-101,Rh-103, Pd-105, Ag-109, I-129, Xe-131, Cs-133, Cs-135, Pr-141, Nd-143, Sm147, Sm-149, Sm-150, Sm-151, Sm-152, Eu-153, Gd-155, Gd-157, Dy-160, Dy-161, Dy-162,
Dy-153, and Dy-164. Almost all evaluations were contributed to ENDF/B-VI.
4.2. Neutron Cross Sections
Along with resonance parameter evaluation, higher energy part below 20 MeV were
evaluated using EMPIRE-II under collabotation with BNL/NNDC.
4.3. Intermediate Energy Nuclear Data
Major efforts for the intermediate nuclear data above 20 MeV were to setup
computation system and optical parameter search for various nuclides.
Another important work are on the soft rotator model study for the inelastic scattering crosssection calculation of structure materials.
4.4. Charged Particle Data
Charged Particle Data including scattering cross sections were evaluated up to energy
range of 60 MeV for the proton incident reactions of Al, Ti, Ni, Cu, Zn, Kr, Cd, Te, I, Xe, N,
O, the deuteron incident reactions of Al, Ti, Fe, Ni, N, O, the He-3 incident reactions of Al, Ti,
and the He-4 incident reactions of Al, Ti, Cu. The resulting library was published as KAERI
report.
5. Data Service
NDEL/KAERI is providing an internet service targeting the people outside of nuclear
data community. (http://atom.kaeri.re.kr/) A pointwise ENDF / MCNP library plotting web
service was developed last year.

Single particle dictionary proposal

As discussed at the NRDC Technical meeting, I am submitting the following proposal for the
combining of the EXFOR particle dictionaries into one dictionary. (This proposal may looksuspiciously like the current Archive Dictionaries).
Merge EXFOR dictionaries 13 (for BIB keywords other than REACTION), 28 (incident particles),29 (Product particles), and 33 (particle considered) into a complete particle dictionary: Dictionary
33. All codes that exist in any of the dictionaries will be included in the combined dictionary. Add
allowed subfield flags (similar to Dictionary 27). The format of the dictionary would be as follows.

Modification of Dictionary 8 and 27(Re: Memo CP-A/124, CP-C/301, and CP-D/388))

Regarding my statement in Memo CP-C/301, since we are at the point of reinventing our databases,
it is good time to rethink the way we are doing many things. Maintaining Dictionary 27 in its
present state is a duplication of the work done for the Nuclear Wallet Cards.
I propose to link the Nuclear Wallet Cards Database with the EXFOR system. This database isavailable to all and contains all the information needed to check on whether:• a nuclide is known,• it is stable,• it has metastable states.
Other useful information contained in the Wallet Cards, such as half-life, could be used in the future
for checking purposes. The Wallet Cards also contains the isotopic abundance for naturally
occurring isotopes and the ground state spin and parity, which are needed for computation format
programs.
If need be, we can reformat the Wallet Card Database to be more useful for the Network needs.

Subject:

Modification of Dictionary 8 and 27(Reply to Memos CP-C/301 and CP-A/124)

General remark: The dates on CP-C memos often appear incorrect. In this case, memo CP-C/301
is dated November 29, 2001 and is replying to memo CP-A/124 dated 14 April 2002.
Remarks on the proposed reform / elimination of the nuclide dictionary 27.
1)

The basic idea of simplification is welcomed since it will not only reduce the number of
error messages but also the work of the dictionary updates to be done at NDS.

2)

In the reference to the description of the current dictionary 27 (obviously taken from thelatest version of the NNDC EXFOR manual), I notice 2 inconsistencies:a) Col.15 (flag '3') - valid also for REACTION SF7: This is in contradiction with what
the same manual says about REACTION SF7, "Particle Considered" (page 7.5), whichsays "Codes are taken form Dictionary 33". No nuclide codes from dictionary 27 areallowed in SF7. There are no such cases in the NDS or NNDC master file, and I do notremember a change of this rule.
b) Col.17 - flag 'F' for fission product: not implemented, this flag does not exist in thefile, and I do not remember a conclusion to this effect. It may be useful but it would be
lost again with the new proposal.

3)

I hesitate to get rid of the "Stable" flag. For DECAY-DATA it is good to check that no
decay information is given for stable nuclei (except X-ray data). It is not clear to me what
is meant in memo CP-C/301 by the sentence "The nuclear structure databases would be
used to check on whether a nuclide is stable or radioactive and whether s known isomer
exists." Who would do this check? A new EXFOR check program on the fly?
I do not expect much change in the number of known stable isotopes, so I don't see theadvantage of getting rid of this flag.

4)

Presently in many cases, the range of nuclides in dict. 27 has one or more gaps. E.g., for
Pa, we have isotopes 213-218 and then from 221 up, or Rn: 201-217 and 223. In somecases also the Chart of Nuclides has gaps in between isotopes of an element. If we wantto keep some meaning to checking nuclides, we may have to allow more than 1 range ofisotopes.

5)

In CP-C/301, last line of item 2, "Columns 35-43": "SF3 or SF4" should read "SF2 orSF3". (In SF4, the nuclide codes must be used, not the particle codes.)- 101

SUBJECT:

Modification of Dictionary 8 and 27(Reply to Memo CP-A/124)

NNDC and NDS are currently in the process of evaluating links between the nuclear
reaction and nuclear structure databases. Given the limitation on manpower, it seems
illogical to duplicate the information stored in these databases. Therefore, I am
making the following modification to the proposal of Memo CP-A/124.
1.
2.

Eliminate Dictionary 27, as proposed.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Modify the Dictionary 8, as follows:
Key: Z-symbol (A6)
Columns 1-3: integer Z (I3)
Columns 4-5: symbol (A2)
Columns 6-25: Element name (A20)
Columns 26-32: Range of known nuclei (I3,’-‘,I3)
Column 34: Natural mixture allowed flag (A1).
Column 35-43: Isotopes not used in SF3 or SF4 (3I3).

We would add 0-G and 0-NN to dictionary 8 (1-D and 1-T need not be added as they
will not exist in the new CINDA system).
The Compound dictionary would be modified to eliminate the CMP and OXI codes
which may be added to any nuclide. I am also suggesting adding stainless steel.

From: F.E. Chukreev
Subject: Modification of Dictionary 8 and Dictionary 27(Action A10 of last Technical Meeting)
The development experimental technique permits accelerate practically any
nucleus. Now our science has possibility to accelerate radioactive projectiles and I
believe, that irradiation radioactive targets by radioactive beams will be possible
after some time. Consequently we will must add numerous corrections in 27-th
Dictionary constantly. To exclude the corrections I propose to refuse from 27-th
Dictionary and to modify 8-th Dictionary.
Let us see Columns 12-26 of the 27-th dictionary. My remarks for
Manual page are shown by red color.
Columns 12-26 have the following structure:
Column 12( Parenthesis
13-23 Each column contains either a flag or blank:
13 used for REACTION SF1 (SF2 0)
Any nuclide can be used as target in suitable accelerator. Therefore the label is notneeded.
1 indicates validity,
X indicates a warning for unusual use.
14 used for REACTION SF2.
Any nuclide can be used as beam in suitable accelerator. Therefore the label is not neededtoo.
2 indicates validity.
15 used for REACTION SF3, REACTION SF4, REACTION SF7, plus otherkeywords which allow nuclide codes8.
Z code is needed only. Subfields SF3 and SF4 can contain any nuclide
3 indicates validity,
V virtual (not yet found)
Z indicates validity except for those cases where the particle codes
are used instead of the corresponding nuclide codes1.
16 used for REACTION SF1 (SF2=0).
As I understand SF2=0 means radioactive decay. Consequently, any unstable nuclide
must have the label.

1

DECAY-DATA, DECAY-MON, EN-SEC, EMS-SEC, HALF-LIFE, MOM-SEC, PART -DET, RAD -DET

- 104 -

But 27-th dictionary has the label for little number of radioactive nuclides and somestable ones (N-15 and O-17, for example). If a label in 23-th column is absent, thenradioactive decay is possible. Therefore the label is not needed too.
4 indicates validity.
17 used to indicate a fission product
If SF3=F, then SF4 is fission product. Therefore the label is not needed too.
F indicates validity.
(18-21 are presently unused)

22 used for CINDA
Is it needed for EXFOR?
C indicates validity,
T indicates validity for theoretical work only.
23 used to indicate a stable isotope. It is needed
S indicates stability.
24-25 isomer field:
The conception of “isomer” was extended in last years. I met isomers with half-life somenanoseconds in literature. Similar isomers can exist in any nuclide
practically. Therefore the label is not needed too.
either blank, indicating that the nuclide has no isomeric states
or a number, right justified, indicating the maximum number ofmetastable states (i.e., number of isomeric states not including the
ground state).
or A, indicating one or more short-lived isomers (<1 sec.), but no longlived isomers.
26) parenthesis

Conclusion: Only Z and S labels are needed now.
Therefore I would like to propose to use 8-th dictionary with a little modification
only. Let us see one example. Today we have in 8-th Dictionary:
55-CS(Cesium)

We can modify the record:
55-CS(Cesium) [S134, 112-151]
S134 means that 55-CS-134 is stable.
Cesium isotopes with mass 112-151 are known.
Second example:
1-H(Hydrogen)

The record must be modified as
1-H(Hydrogen) [SZ1,SZ2,Z3,1-3].
SZ1 means that 1-H-1 is stable and P must be used in SF2 and SF3. Z3 means that
tritium is radioactive nuclide and T must be used in SF2,SF3
Proposed modification of 8-th Dictionary will permit exclude 27-th
Dictionary and numerous corrections of it.

Page numbers for reference

I propose that we update the REFERENCE coding rules to allow page numbers withletters (e.g., 123c or L121). I am suspect the original restriction was placed on the page
number because of CINDA. There seems to be no reason to continue with that
restriction.
The Manual section would be updated as follows:
Page (paper #) subfield: If present, contains:• the page number which may be numeric or may contain a number proceeded orfollowed by a letter, and/or• the paper #, enclosed in parentheses, which may have any content, except commas orparentheses. If omitted, the following comma is also omitted.

Correlation Quantities
1. There was a consensus that all angular correlations are to be coded with SF6 = DA/CRL.
NDS requested (last year's Action A35) further clarification in LEXFOR about:- general definition of angular correlation and difference to angular distribution ofcorrelated particle pairs- include examples with data units (NO-DIM vs. MB/SR ?)- add definitions and examples of other correlations (MCO - lin. Momentum correlations, ECO- energy correlations)

2. New correlation quantities were proposed in 4C-4/122 but withdrawn after some discussion bye-mail:PR,DE/COR,N/FF

Some publications contains energy in C.-M. System as independent
variable. The energy is sum of kinetic energy of incident projectile andtarget nucleus in C.-M. System.
The connection of the energies:
E(cm)=(M/(M+m))E(lab),
Where M – mass of target nucleus,m – mass of projectile,E(lab) – projectile energy in Lab-system.
A little index the publication, where E(cm) were used:

J,NP/A,645,13,99
J,NP/A,596,299,96
J,NP/A,635,305,98
The independent variable is suitable for astrophysical data.
We have in Dictionary 24 now only:

EN-CM

Incident Projectile Energy in C.M. System.

Therefore we would like to include special code for E(cm).
EN-CM-TOT
Sum kinetic energies of projectile and target
Nucleus in C.-M. System.
We can discuss the independent variable during to nearest meeting.

Particle Considered field

1.

Use of Nuclide code in SF7 (Re: Memo CP-D/337, CP-D/338).

I believe it was agreed many years ago to allow codes from Dictionary 27 in SF7. This isnecessary as we go to higher energies, most particularly for charged-particle data.
I have not had the time to go back and search all memos and NRDC Meeting minutes, but
in memo CP-C/211 (the proposal for adding wild card flags to SF7 of Dictionary 36,
September 1995), the following statement is given:- All codes from Dictionary 33 and those from Dictionary 27 which have a “3”or a “Z” in column 15.
I believe the agreement on the use of nuclides in SF7 came before this date. In any case,
In any case, we should discuss this at the NRDC Meeting.
2. Particle considered code RCL
I propose to drop the code RCL from Dictionary 33, as suggested at the last technicalmeeting. I was unable to find any entries for this on the EXFOR library.
---------------------Notes by NDS (O. Schwerer):- The proposal of CP-C/211 (of September 1995) was part of the proposal allowing wildcards for SF 7
in Dictionary 36, which was not yet put into force. So far there is not a single entry using it. If thenuclide is the same as SF 4, RSD (not RCL) can be used.
- I am not against introducing nuclide codes in SF 7 (update of LEXFOR page on REACTION SF 7 will
be required). However, we soon may need continuation records for long REACTION strings.

Redundancies in EXFOR (Memo CP-C/259)

We have discussed redundancies in EXFOR at many of the recent NRDC meetings. In
Memo CP-C/259, I made some proposals for clarification. (Note by NDS: CP-C/259,
dated 17 November 1999, was not received at NDS until 6 May 2002). There is no
mention of whether anything was decided at the NRDC in 2000, I will reiterate thefollowing proposals.
1.
Independent versus cumulative: In EXFOR, a defined cross section is assumed to
be independent if no other indication is given.
Proposal: The use of the code IND, in REACTION sub-field 5, is restricted to use
with the codes F and X in SF3.
I have a code that will convert the affected entries.
2. Undefined reaction channels: Similarly, a reaction for which the reaction channel is
undefined is coded using the process code X in sub-field 3. The use of UND wasintroduced for charged particles and was coupled to the number of protons and neutrons
being given in sub-field 3. This led to the introduction of the variable number of emitted
nucleons formalism in order to be able to use the variable nucleus formalism for multiple
reaction products.

Proposals:a.) Eliminate the use of the codes UND and DEF in REACTION sub-field 5. The code (DEF)
will remain.
b.) Eliminate the use of a variable number of emitted nucleons, that is, the process codes XN
and YP. XN have been used in about 60 subentries, where neutron emission data is given, i.e.,they should be coded as (…,X)0-NN-1…..).
c.) Eliminate the data headings N-OUT and P-OUT. These have been used in only one entry,
which could be easily recoded. (There are new proposals for variable output particles).
I volunteer to retrieve and convert the entries affected.
3. Experimental data code: Data with no code in REACTION SF9 is considered to beexperimental. For charged-particle data, the code EXP was introduced for REACTION sub-field 9
as a positive indication that the data is experimental. This is not so serious, however, it may be
confusing to users, who may think there is a difference between data coded in 2 different ways..
Proposal: Eliminate the use of the code EXP in REACTION sub-field 9.

Subject: Action A38 of Technical Meeting 2001

Addition to Dictionary 24
Add to dictionary 24
We suggest to input in Dic.24 new codePART-OUT(the number of emitted particles)

The development of experimental technique permits detects some particles
simultaneously.
For example: In work of F.Goldenbaum et.al. “Heating of nuclei with energetic
antiprotons”, published in Phys. Rev. Letters, v.77, p.1230, 1996, theauthors measured the reaction cross sections in dependent from the number ofoutgoing particles (all hydrogen and helium isotopes). If we can use N-OUT
and P-OUT for neutrons and protons, another particles request more common
decision.
Therefore, we propose PART-OUT as new independent variable (thequantity emitting particles. SIG/DN could be used as measurement unit (seeC24 of Technical Meeting 2001). Of course, under PART-DET we must indicate
measured particles, obligatory.
Another similar publication:
1. PR/C,63,034616,2001
2. EPJ/A,8,197,2000
3. PL/B,472,15,2000.
In future we will have many publication produced on “Berlin ball”, where
similar measurements are possible.
One example of EXFOR entry with PART-OUT is given in separate attachment.

Zeros in error field.

At last year’s NRDC Technical meeting in Vienna, there was a discussion on zero errors
and some understanding that these should not be allowed in the EXFOR data entries (e.g.,
Chukreev’s checking code marks them as errors). I cannot find any actions mentioning
this, but would like to specifically allow the use of zeros in an error field.
We get many large electronic files directly from experimentalists; many of these havezero data errors. These files must then be edited to delete all such errors. It is obvious to
all who use such data that the error is simply smaller than the number of digits given in
the error field. In any case, any computer program processing these files will read theerror as zero.

Multiple appearance of the first Reference in EXFOR(NDS Master File, 02-May-2002, re old Action A30)
V.Zerkin to A30
It is understood that not all cases are duplications. E.g., report codes without page numbers appear as samereference while actually different papers are compiled; or, several entries were compiled from different lab
reports, and then a final combined publication appeared which then became the first reference of all entries.
All cases to be checked by the responsible centers. (O.S.)

EXFOR master file comparisons

NNDC and NDS will compare their master files with a view to unify them. The exercise
was started by comparison runs by V. Zerkin at NDS (see below).
These two related papers (originally attached to this WP) are available from NDS:
• An analysis by O.Schwerer (December 2001) of what differences can be expected• Memo CP-M/16 by V.V. Varlamov on errors found when comparing the CDFE with
NNDC and NDS master files.

Welcome to pilot project"Merge NDS and NNDC EXFOR Libraries"
V. Zerkin
Introduction
For some reasons NDS and NNDC have slightly different EXFOR data libraries. The projectaiming to merge the data was initiated by P.Oblozinsky (NNDC) in 2001 and supported by
V.McLane (NNDC), V.Pronyaev and O.Schwerer (NDS). First stage of the project is comparisonof EXFOR Master files between NDS and NNDC. Software for this comparison as well as thispage was created by V.Zerkin with consultancy of O.Schwerer. MySQL/Linux version of EXFORRelational was used for data manipulations. Next stage of the project will be done mainly by
V.McLane and O.Schwerer.

EXFOR Master File Comparison and Unification - Addendum to WP 2002-18

V. McLane and O. Schwerer

All centers are invited to submit their area's master file to NDS (V. Zerkin) for thecomparison. This could be important with a view to find data sets which might be
missing in both the NDS and NNDC master files.
NDS (V. Zerkin) will run his comparison software comparing these files against the NDS
master file.
All centers may submit lists of (other centers') known uncorrected errors to NDS.
NDS will attempt to correct all files with help from other volunteer centers.
As far as practical, additional items may be included in the comparison software (e.g.
Data Units, numerical values in tables)- 123 -

Measures of Security at the NDS Open Area for EXFOR
L. Costello, 23 April 2002
v2 – 23-April-2002

The following is intended to replace NDSOPEN - TRANS.

New account created on NDSALPHA.IAEA.ORG for the EXFOR TRANS area.
Username: NDSX4. (password optional)
User NDSX4 has access by remote FTP only.
Account is located on node NDSALPHA, disk/directory UD1:[NDSX4]The NDSOPEN EXFOR TRANS directory tree structure will be migrated toUD1:[NDSX4]. Permissions and access rules will be applied as follows:
The owner of this directory, all subdirectories and files is user NDSX4.
User NDSX4 can ‘put’ and ‘get’ files by FTP only, cannot modify, delete or overwrite inany way. If the sender wishes to update a particular file then they will have to ‘put’ itagain. The new file will take the next highest version number, the old file will remain
untouched.
The NDSX4 directory and files are managed by the holder of the XMAN token. Current
holder is user SCHWERER. XMAN has full access to all files in the directory tree.

WP 2002-26-Rev
EXFOR-Relational as multi-platform databasewith several retrieval interfaces:
details of technology, current progress and nearest plans
V.Zerkin, NDS-IAEA

EXFOR-Relational project is essentially a further development of the EXFOR/Accessproject, started in 1999. In 2001 it became part on the Nuclear Reaction Database(NRDB) project, which plans to integrate CINDA, EXFOR, ENDF and their Dictionaries
in one relational database system. Work on NRDB project, started in 2000, is being
performed by NDS and NNDC in collaboration. Each relational database is being
developed independently, but their integration and common use is foreseen in theirstructure. The structure of the databases and current development are regularly discussed
among the collaborators. The NDS has the primary responsibility for implementing thesystem.
Mainly used technologies
Along with the development of EXFOR-Relational, several modern technologies
were studied and tested in several systems environment. (Note the positive role of“Workshop on relational database and java technologies for nuclear data”, BNL, 2000).
Finally, the main components of the technology and their interconnection were defined.
This technology is based on usage of platform independent components with the goal ofreaching universality, effectiveness and long life of the new database system. The final
product should provide a full set of EXFOR database utilities (including loading,
updating, data backup) and retrieval systems, to be used on different types of PC, in local
network and through the Web. All software should work on most popular operating
systems and several DBMS and be easily portable to other platforms.
Basic components of the technology used in the development of EXFOR-Relational
are following:• programming languages:
Java, C• language to access database:
SQL• drivers to database access:
JDBC, ODBC
• database management system: any Relational, supporting SQL• also used (not key components): Perl, JavaScript, html, XML• tested to be used in future:
Fortran-C-ODBC-Database
A typical connection of components used to access database in different type of
applications is shown in Fig.1. Basic components of the technology were tested in most*of possible client-server combinations of platforms. Java/JDBC with SQL is mainly used
for access to database (see Fig.1a). This is the most universal approach existing on mostplatforms. An essential thing in the development is that all software is always tested on
several DBMS in order to be sure that very generic (no specific) features are used.
*Note. EXFOR/Access Retrieval system using Microsoft Access technology with VBA (Basic), DAO and
MS-Jet is still distributed on CD-ROMs; it will be replaced by EXFOR/Java on CD (see below).

The programs are used on any platform without any change in the source code. All differences areconcentrated and described in Configuration file (see Fig.2). Usually, the program reads this file at the
beginning. All configuration parameters can be redefined on the fly: e.g. user can change working
database (data source, database location and even type of DBMS) within the same retrieval session.

Completeness of EXFOR compilation as indexed in CINDA
by M.Lammer
Nuclear Data Section, IAEA

I have been asked to make a rough completeness check of the EXFOR compilation. The
only survey that may give a reasonable answer is to compare blocks in CINDA with
EXFOR index lines to the total number of experimental blocks.
Since I had to do that comparison manually, and it was a last minute effort, the check is
not comprehensive. I selected one or a few labs from each area – OHO, part of ORL,
WAL-WAU for area1, JUL for area 2, several labs for area 3 and KUR for area 4 - andrestricted the selection of blocks to references from 1990 onwards. The results are as
follows:
area 1: about 70 % coveragearea 2: about 53 % coveragearea 3: about 90 % coveragearea 4: about 55 % coverage
For area 1, the main contributors to ‘misses’ are 0EXFOR entries where data have beenrequested, and some papers with many reactions that have been missed.
The situation is similar for area 2, only that for several 0EXFOR entries no attempt tocompile it is indicated (comments are: graphs or values given). On the other hand, there
seem to be several cases that are not real misses of compilation, but appropriate
reblocking is missing: references that are now labeled “without EXFOR” (either inseparate block or with a different quantity like DNG-NEG) should be combined with ablock with an EXFOR line.
For area 3, the main contributors to ‘misses’ are single lines with progress reports andinelasic resp. nonelastic gamma spectra, which are not compiled by NDS.
In the case of area 4, the main contributors to ‘misses’ are some JINR- reports and also
entries for inelasic resp. nonelastic gamma spectra.
Common to all areas is(1) incomplete indexing of EXFOR in CINDA: e.g. indexed as(a) NEG only for gamma production cross sections, but not for DNG or N2N which
are often also specified in the publication and the EXFOR entries;(b) RES but not for STF which is also given.
(2) incorrect indexing of progress reports (PR), where insufficient information is given.
Examples:- 141 -

(a) A PR indicates “neutron capture studies” and is compiled in CINDA as NG, but
the final publication contains capture gammas (SNG), and the original PR entry
is overlooked.
(b) A PR indicates measurements for several quantities and a range of targets, which
are all indexed in CINDA, but actually not all quantities have been measured for
all targets. Again, no corrections are done for the wrong combinations.
(c) Similarly, if the energy range is not or only approximately specified, theconnection between the PR and the final publication is not recognized.
My conclusion and recommendation is: Entries for progress reports should not be madeunless the target-reaction combinations and the energy range are specified with sufficientaccuracy and detail. An acceptable exception would be if the compiler initiates an
EXFOR entry with that progress report information and keeps track of all the associatedpublications.

Data are for references with work type E or M.
This is only a valid measure of compilation completeness assuming all experimental references have been compiled.
Some experimental references will never be compiled because, e.g., the data have been withdrawn, or theauthors will not release it.

Development of Web Editor for Charged-Particle Nuclear Reaction Data
(Working report of JCPRG, May 2002)

Abstract
We have developed a web editor, HENDEL, which is an editing system of charged-particle nuclear reaction data byusing web browsers. With this system, compilers can input data without detailed knowledge of data files such as
grammar and data structure. The inputted information is processed to EXFOR and NRDF format simultaneously.

Keyword: Nuclear Data, CPND, WWW, EXFOR, NRDF
1. Introduction
Japan Charged-Particle Nuclear Reaction Data Group (JCPRG) compiles and accumulates the chargedparticle nuclear reaction data produced in accelerator facilities in Japan. We edit the data in our own data
format (NRDF: Nuclear Reaction Data File) which are distributed through the internet. A part of compiled
file is translated to EXFOR format. The purposes of developing the web editor are- To provide editing environment to compilers who do not have much knowledge of the grammar andstructure of nuclear data.
- To output data files in various formats (e.g. EXFOR, NRDF...) simultaneously.
- To provide author proof environment.
2. Advantages of web editor
The internet has given the drastic change in the distribution system of nuclear data. Under this situation,
our group has developed retrieval system using web browsers. The advantages of editing nuclear data witha web editor are as follows:- Compiler can choose the appropriate code from a pull down menu or by writing a value/word in a Q
and A style form for each item. Therefore compiler can input nuclear data without detailed knowledge of
nuclear data files.
- Illegal codes and errors would be reduced in compiled results by using selective queries instead ofdescriptive ones.
- We can easily output data files in both of the EXFOR and NRDF formats simultaneously, since most of
the necessary information is common in two formats.
- Experimentalists can make proof-editing of the compiled results for their data from remote terminals
without much knowledge of data files by using the browsing functions of the editor.
- The web browser is a very familiar tool which works on various OS (e.g. Windows, Macintosh,UNIX....). Compilers can work on their favorite terminals in which a browser is installed.

- 144 -

3. Present Status
In July 2001, beta version has been completed and 25 references are compiled using this editor system.
Out of these compiled files, 12 were translated to EXFOR and 6 passed the check at CHEX. Using thiseditor and CHEX, we can improve the quality not only of EXFOR files but also of NRDF files. This system
can plot the graph of numerical data merged in the data file. Then we check the quality of digitized data bycomparing with original paper.
4. Conclusion
We have developed a web editor, HENDEL, on trial. JCPRG has started compiling with the web editor
to make data files in EXFOR and NRDF formats at the same time. This editor is basically developed
according to NRDF coding sheets. The editor consequently gives some limitations for the compilation of
EXFOR files at present. It would be possible to improve this editor as an EXFOR editor by extending the
input formats through compilation of various types of data.

Conclusions
General
C1: The next Technical NRDC Meeting will be held at IAEA Vienna in late May or
early June 2003. The next full meeting will be held in Brookhaven in spring 2004
(date to be decided).
C2: For new data (1980-1998) the comparison between CINDA and EXFOR (WP2002-27) showed that about 75% of all possible EXFOR data are compiled. This is
assumed to be approximately the maximum amount possible due to the availability ofdata. As expected the coverage for pre-1980 data is lower.
General CINDA matters
C3: CINDA coverage was reviewed and it was felt that all major journals areadequately covered. Future coverage of progress reports may not necessarily be
important nor need be continued.
C4: The future NRDC cooperation on CINDA was adopted as proposed in WP 200228. All centers, except ATOMKI, volunteered to contribute CINDA input to the new
system (neutron and/or charged particle data).
C5: CINDA 2002 will be published as Supplement. At the same time the CD will be
produced again by NEA-DB. NDS will consider publishing a final CINDA archival
book, spread over 2 years in 2004/5, based on the new CINDA2001, i.e. including
also CPND and photonuclear data.
Dictionaries
C6: The proposal of Memo CP-C/287 (WP 2002-2, p.1) is accepted, i.e. there will be
only one particle dictionary.
C7:

Dictionaries must still be transmitted in the TRANS format.

C8: A new Nuclides dictionary (as a replacement to dictionary 27) will be produced,
which will be extracted from the Nuclear Data Wallet cards database. (See also
Action A11).
General EXFOR matters
C9: The proposed security measures as outlined in WP-2002-19 regarding the NDS
Open area were agreed. Hence a username NDSX4 must be entered (no password isrequired as yet) and this user can only put and get files. This user, along with all- 147 -

others, cannot modify, delete or overwrite existing files. File management will be
carried out by the holder of the XMAN token, currently allocated to user
SCHWERER.
EXFOR dictionary codes and coding rules
C10: Following from WP-2002-3 (Units for particle and product yields, Dict.25) it wasagreed that:
PRT be used for the outgoing particle, i.e. SF3, or SF7
PRD be used for reaction product, i.e. SF4
INC used for incident projectile, i.e. SF2
REAC used for reaction (with FIS used for fission), in general SF2-3
PC for percent or per 100 incident particles
Consequently, the unit PRD/FIS should be allowed.
C11: Page number format as presented in WP-2002-4 has been adopted, i.e. to allow
alphanumeric characters in the page number field in REFERENCE.
C12: The proposed new heading EN-CM-TOT is NOT needed, but the definition of
EN-CM needs to be clarified (WP-2002-8). (See also Action A34).
C13: The units MUB/SRGEVC and the new particle code AP (anti-proton) are adopted(WP-2002-10)
C14: The proposed code NSF is not needed nor the other new quantities of CP-E/004(WP-2002-10).
C15: (WP-2002-12) Agreed that UND and DEF (in REACTION SF5) should not be
used, but that (DEF) can be used if the compiler is uncertain.
C16: A working group will be formed in order to investigate the way in which highenergy physics data can be coded in EXFOR, including the coding of fundamental
particles. The following participants agreed to sit on the committee: Chukreev,
McLane, Kato, Otuka, Tarkanyi. See also Action A36.
C17: The proposed code 2XL as a modifier (REACTION SF8) as proposed in CPC/305 (WP-2002-15) is not necessary and therefore has been rejected.
C18: The use of a zero value in the DATA-ERR field is allowed (CP-C/306 = WP2002-16) except when the data are digitized. Required for large datasets sent by theauthor when the accuracy representation of the field is not sufficient to have a finite
value. The DATA-ERR column cannot contain only zeros, in this case the column
should not be included at all and a comment included under ERR-ANALYS.

- 148 -

C19: The proposed use of 4-momentum transfer and momentum distribution data isagreed as in CP-C/295 = WP-2002-6
C20: (WP 2002-11) Nuclide codes are from now on allowed in REACTION SF7(Particle considered). If the resulting REACTION string can no longer fit in cols. 1266, continuation onto the next record will follow the same rules as for DECAYDATA (i.e., line breaks are allowed only after one of the commas which separate
subfields)
C21: (WP 2002-12) The new headings PART-OUT and ELEM-MAX will be
introduced in dictionary 24.

Appendix 6: Comments and Recommendations of Centre Heads’
Meeting:
Meeting of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network (NRDC), held at NEA Data
Bank, Paris, 27-30 May 2002

The NRDC network was originally established to ensure simple, efficient and timely
compilation of measurements of neutron reaction cross sections. Efforts are also being
made to include charged-particle and photonuclear reaction cross sections, although
greater priority will continue to be given to neutron cross-section compilations. The
network must respond rapidly to user needs (particularly requests from cross-section
evaluators).
Managerial and technical sessions were held in parallel, and the following
actions/comments arose from the Centre Heads’ meeting:(a) Changes were agreed involving “co-ordination” procedures for NRDC (see memo
entitled “Proposals for New Nuclear Reaction Data Centre Protocols” by Schwerer and
McLane (28 May 2002)), which will result in an increased workload for NDS. One
member of NDS staff will be co-ordinator of the EXFOR work throughout the network toensure more rapid compilations of reaction cross-section data. The co-ordinator willassign areas of responsibility for such data compilations – re-assignments will be madeby this co-ordinator if progress is not being made in particular areas.
(b) Proposals for co-operation in CINDA compilations were approved (see WP2002-28),
but the eventual hope is to integrate this work with NSR and EXFOR activities.
(c) NRDC members endorsed and supported current work to establish a more costeffective relational database system (particularly developments at NDS and NNDC,
Brookhaven).
(d) International collaboration in both compilation and software development is of crucial
importance to all members of the NRDC network, and greater efforts are required tocapture real funding for some data centres (eg., in Russian Federation and Ukraine
through possible ISTC funding).
(e) Emerging manpower problems throughout the NRDC were noted and discussed - lossof expertise and replacement of these staff will be a major priority in 2003/2004.

Appendix 7: Proposal for new Nuclear Reaction Data Center Protocol
O. Schwerer and V. McLane
modified - 28 May 2002
The Nuclear Data Section (NDS) will assume a more active role co-ordinating all
Nuclear Reaction Data Centers (NRDC). In this extended role, NDS will be responsible
for ensuring that data compilations are done in an efficient, productive and timely
manner. The role of NDS will be to:(a) assign clear responsibilities for the creation and correction of datacompilations, and drive these activities forward,(b) ensure implementation of compilation rules,(c) decide on all issues relating to dictionary codes,(d) be responsible for CINDA and EXFOR distribution to the other data centers.

1.

Compilation Responsibilities
NDS will assign areas of responsibility for data compilation. If a center assigned toa particular area of compilation (e.g., neutron data from a country or countries)1 is
not carrying out their responsibilities, i.e., compiling all new data for that area in atimely manner, the NDS co-ordinator will reassign all or part of those
responsibilities to another volunteer center.
A center responsible for an area of compilation may agree with another network
center to share the compilation work for that area on a regular basis. However, theresponsibility for coverage and quality of the compilation remains with the
responsible center.

2.

Decisions concerning compilation rules and new quantities
Final decisions on proposals concerning compilation rules and new quantities canbe made with Core Center2 agreement after discussions among all centers. NDS
will be the final arbiter in case the "Core Centers" are unable to reach a decision.

3.

Decisions concerning dictionary codes
NDS will be the final arbiter for all decisions concerning dictionary codes (see also
2).

4.

EXFOR/CINDA Transmissions
All preliminary and final EXFOR and all CINDA transmission will be sent to NDS.
NDS will be responsible for distributing all final transmissions.

5.

Corrections to EXFOR/CINDA entries
NDS may correct or assign volunteers to correct preliminary transmissions, which
are not corrected and resubmitted as final transmissions in a timely manner.

1 An area may be for a given projectile or set of projectiles, for a given country or group of countries, for agiven data type or data types, or for any combination of these.
2 Core centers will be defined by NDS based on contributions to network and user service capabilities.

- 155 -

6.

Urgent compilation needs
If a center has a need for a particular data set to be compiled immediately, thecenter should send a request to the responsible center with a copy to NDS. If theoriginating center cannot compile the data in time needed to meet the requirementsof the center making the request, that center may compile the data as an area Z
entry. The entry will then be sent to both the originating center and NDS. If theoriginating center does not intend to enter the data in a timely fashion, the NDS
may then transmit the Z entry to all centers. The originating center would then be
responsible for deleting the Z entry, if they replace it with an entry for their area.

7.

Corrections to entries compiled at another center
Notification of errors found in entries originating at another center should becommunicated to all centers. The NDS should make sure these corrections aredone in a timely manner. If they are not, the co-ordinator will ask one of the othercenters to submit the corrected entries.

8.

Maintenance of the Masterfile.
NDS will maintain and distribute the EXFOR (and CINDA) Masterfile.

Notes
As a consequence of the above, the obligatory link between the geographical area of theInstitute and the accession number, which is in force for neutron data, will now be lifted
for all data. Similarly, for corrections to entries of another center according to item 7
above, it will be allowed to transmit entries of different accession number areas on thesame TRANS file.
This protocol will be reviewed at the next NRDC meeting.

WP 2002-28
Future NRDC Cooperation on CINDA
Prepared for the Nuclear Reaction Data Center Meeting
May 2002
V. McLane, M. Lammer, O. Schwerer

GeneralThis document contains several proposals, which are meant as a starting point for further
discussions. The three main points addressed are: 1) the transmitting of CINDA entries needs
to be reorganised, 2) transmission of CINDA entries in the new formats should be initiatedbefore the end of the year, and 3) the new CINDA database should be considered as an index
to the experimental and evaluated data files. Detailed proposals follow.
CINDA Transmission
A subset of the original “core” centers will be responsible for all CINDA transmissions. Thatis, the NNDC will be responsible for the US and Canada, the NEA Data Bank will be
responsible for the NEA member countries, and the NDS will be responsible for the rest of
the world. All other centers compiling new references will transmit the data through one ofthese three centers.
Creation of a CINDA database in the new format
In order to allow time for the centers to work on the creation of their new CINDA databases,
there will be a moratorium on new transmissions for some period of time before thechangeover. (A time schedule should be completed before the end of the 2002 NRDC
Meeting). The database creation project consists of four parts: 1) the conversion of theexisting library, 2) the production of a starter library for charged particle and photonuclear
data, 3) the addition of new entries, and 4) the addition of entries from other existing
bibliographies, and the merging of these entries with the existing database.
1. Conversion of the existing CINDA library:
Each neutron center, or its designated center, will:• Either convert its CINDA master file to the new format,• Or will retrieve the data for their area in the exchange format and send it to NNDC to beconverted.
These files will be distributed by NDS to those centers that want them.
Completion: October 2002 (moratorium initiated).
2. Production of a starter library for charged particle and photonuclear data
A starter library of charged-particle and photonuclear data references will be produced by
NDS/NNDC from the existing EXFOR database after the EXFOR master file comparison iscompleted and the libraries are updated.
This library will then be distributed to those centers who want it.
Completion: December 2002

- 159 -

3. Addition of new entries
For new CINDA entries, an agreement will be reached with the center responsible for coordination of coverage as to who will compile which references. After the entries arecompiled, they will be sent through the co-ordinating center to NDS. NDS will check anddistribute the entries.
Implementation: January 2003 (moratorium lifted).
4. Addition of entries from other existing bibliographies
There exist several other bibliographies that contain nuclear reaction references in a form
useful for conversion and entry into the CINDA database. Among these are the CPBIB at
NNDC and Photonuclear Data at CDFE. The conversion of these files to the CINDA format
will greatly add to the coverage of the literature in the database. However, each reference
must be checked against the contents of the CINDA database a) to see if it already exists inthe database, and b) if it does not exist, to see if it should be loaded into an already existing
block. This checking and blocking may take a considerable amount of time to complete.
Completion: to be decided for each database to be converted.
Contents of CINDA
From 2002 forward, CINDA will be considered to be an index to the experimental andevaluated data, that is, entries for theory (except those given in EXFOR entries), compilations,and reviews will not be entered in CINDA. Such references are now entered in Nuclear
Science References (NSR), and present coverage seems to be complete; 98% of all new
theory references given in CINDA are already in NSR; a comparison of CINDA theory
entries for 2000-2002 to NSR found only 4 missing references in NSR: 3 from laboratory
reports and one from a conference. The savings in duplicated effort will allow more time to be
devoted to data compilation. Existing CINDA entries will remain in the database until suchtime as they are documented to exist in the NSR database.
For older references, the coverage in NSR is not as good. The NNDC will provide a program
to be used in checking which CINDA theory entries exist in NSR and will ask for help inentering those which are not in NSR.
Those documents which exist or are entered in NSR will then be deleted from the CINDA
database.
