MEETING SUMMARY
Introduction
The IAEA Technical Meeting on the Co-ordination of the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data
Centres was held at the IAEA Headquarters, Vienna, Austria, from 12 to 14 October 2005.
Sixteen participants of eleven co-operating data centres from China, Hungary, Japan, RussianFederation, Ukraine, USA, NEA and IAEA attended the meeting.
Meetings of this network are held annually, with full meetings involving centre heads andtechnical staff every two years (the last full meeting was held in October 2004 at NNDC in
Brookhaven, USA). The present meeting focused on technical questions concerning the
EXFOR and CINDA databases and the common dictionaries, the review of the compilation
scope and responsibilities and quality control, the new common EXFOR master file, andspecialized software used and developed at the centres. Technical discussions were based on
the 34 working papers (WPs) submitted to the meeting. The most important results of thetechnical sessions are summarized in the list of Conclusions and Actions (pp. 17 ff.).
Brief Minutes
Dr. N. Ramamoorthy, the Director of the IAEA Division of Physical and Chemical Sciences,welcomed the participants on behalf of the IAEA. The meeting was opened by A. Nichols,
Head of the IAEA Nuclear Data Section. The agenda was adopted. A. Nichols chaired thegeneral sessions, while O. Schwerer chaired the technical sessions.
Each of the 11 attending centres presented a brief status report (see reports P1 – P11). Reportsof two centres who are members of the network but could not attend the meeting were also
distributed (reports P12, P13).
All Actions of the previous meeting were reviewed and those not yet fulfilled were, withmodifications, included in the new list of Actions.
The status of implementation of the new CINDA database was reviewed. A revised CINDA
manual was presented by NEA-DB, and was slightly modified. NDS will also maintain acommon master file for CINDA. NEA-DB is preparing the next CINDA book and iscollecting additional information for the introductory pages from network centres.
The reformed EXFOR/CINDA dictionaries were approved.
The scope of the EXFOR compilation and responsibilities were reviewed with minor
modifications and clarifications. Special emphasis was put on the coverage of major journals
and speeding up the compilation of new literature. The implementation of the new common
EXFOR master file, as of 1 July 2005, was noted as an important step.
The problem of EXFOR compilations transmitted with physics and/or format errors to the
network coordinator was discussed, and a Recommendation on this issue was adopted. At thesame time, the meeting felt the need to discuss the uneven spread of compilation workload
among the network centres.
15

NDS will develop an external flagging system to indicate which EXFOR data sets wereadopted by evaluators. The meeting discussed also the issue of storing original EXFOR papers
in pdf format locally in the compilation centres.
In the session on technical EXFOR issues, several proposals were approved, including aformat for storing covariance files, an extension of the “multiple reaction” formalism, as well
as several new data headings and quantities.
EXFOR editing software being developed at the Sarov centre was presented, and further
development in cooperation with V. Zerkin (NDS) was encouraged. A data uploading facility
will be developed by NDS and NNDC (a first version is now in operation, note added byeditor). V. Zerkin presented his CINDA editor.
A comparison of several data digitizing software packages, used and/or developed at network
centres, was presented, with the main conclusion that the software quality is comparable andthe main source of discrepancies is human error.
The meeting strongly encouraged steps to improve cooperation between centres in softwaredevelopment.
In the closing session, the 23 conclusions, the recommendation, and the 33 actions of themeeting were reviewed, and it was decided that the next NRDC meeting, which will be a fullmeeting with centre heads and technical staff, will be held in Vienna in September or October
2006. (Note added by editor: after the meeting, the date has been set for 25 – 28 September2006).

Conclusions and Recommendations
GeneralC1

The next NRDC meeting will be a full meeting (centre heads and technicalstaff) and will be held in Vienna during 4 days in September or October 2006.
(Note added by editor: after the meeting, the date was set to 25 – 28 September2006).

CINDA
C2

NDS will maintain also a common CINDA master fileC3

NDS will from now on convert all received EXFOR TRANS file to a CINDA
file and update CINDA with it and send it to the originating centre

C4

The revised CINDA Manual, as submitted by NEA-DB and revised at thismeeting, is approved.

Common EXFOR/CINDA dictionaries
C5

The reformed dictionaries as described in memos CP-D/438-440 are accepted.

C6

On request, the dictionaries are available from NDS also in database form.

EXFOR, general
C7

Compilation scope: Data measured in inverse kinematics, which would be in
the category of obligatory compilation if target and projectile were exchanged,
must be compiled also (i.e. are added to the list of obligatory compilation,category “A”).

C8Compilation responsibilities: ATOMKI will also be in charge of experiments
in cooperation with Free Univ. Brussels, Cyclotron Department(EXFOR code 2BLGVUB)

C9Compilation responsibilities: Add “Photonuclear Data under coordination of
CDFE” to UkrNDC and NNDC

17

C10

The clarification of compilation responsibilities as given in WP 2005-10 isadoptedC11

For all compilations of new literature, an author proof copy should be sent,
and the approval, or “no reply to author proof”, should be included under
STATUS.

C12

The meeting took note of the release of the common EXFOR master file as of
1 July 2005. Any special operations on the master file, outside the normal
TRANS operations, if at all necessary, must be communicated to the NRDC via
memos.

EXFOR, technicalC13

The coding of isotopic abundances (proposed at the 2004 NRDC meeting) is
not followed up for the time being, until the need is demonstrated.

C14

Wildcards in SF7 for Dict. 236 are now acceptable to all. Details of
implementation will be agreed (see Action A27)

C15

Extension of multiple reactions is accepted as proposed in WP 2005-26:
Components of a vector or tensor polarization quantity will be added to the listof allowed cases in LEXFOR.

C16

Quantities PR,NU/DE,FF and PR,NU/DE,A should have dimension FY
because they are not differential by energy (they are dependent on secondary
energy but not differential). Also the units in the affected entries (PT/FIS/MEV)
must be corrected.

C21

V. Zerkin is encouraged to proceed with the concept of “Projects” in CINDA(WP 2005-21). This item will be reconsidered at the next meeting. (See also
Action A31.)

C22

The meeting notes that all digitizing software packages recently compared by
the centres (WP 2005-24) give satisfactory results, and that the major source of
discrepancies is the “human factor”. (See also Action A32.)

C23

The meeting encourages steps to improve cooperation in softwaredevelopment, beginning with the Exfor editor (Sarov + NDS). Centres areencouraged to inform each other about software developments where
cooperation is possible and/or desirable.

Recommendation
Compilations with serious formal and/or physics mistakes are increasingly being transmitted to
the network coordinator. As a consequence of this increasing number of errors over theprevious 12 months, further considerable time and effort has to be spent by the coordinating
centre, and other network centres, checking these entries, pointing out mistakes, and requestingcorrections before these compilations can be added to the EXFOR database.
Therefore, the meeting recommends that all centres ensure that their EXFOR compilers are able
to spend the necessary time to understand both the essentials of the article and the relevant
EXFOR procedures, so that they are able to produce good quality initial compilations for the
EXFOR database.

Special case: Two or more institutions from different service areas:
If two institutions from different service areas are involved, the primary institution
defines the responsible center. See LEXFOR, Institutes for definition of primary
institution.
LEXFOR / Institutes /Compilation Responsibility

If two or more institutions of different service areas are involved, the following rules shalldetermine the center responsible.

1. The institute containing the facility used, if at least one of the authors belongs tothat facility, should determine the center responsible.

2. If an itinerant group uses the facility of another institution, the institute of the
primary investigator of the itinerant group shall determine the center responsible.

25

3. In an ambiguous case, the institution from which one is most likely to obtainfurther information on the experiment should be used to determine the center
responsible.
If a publication reports the results of different experiments, done at different laboratories,or, measured at one laboratory, and, subsequently, analyzed at another laboratory, andeither the laboratories are in different areas, or the incident-projectile is of a different type(i.e., neutron, charged particle, or photon), the results are compiled in separate entries by
the center responsible for the data. The entries may be linked using the STATUS code
COREL; see Status (Interdependent Data).
2004 NRDC Meeting, Conclusion C17:
If several institutes and several experimental facilities are involved in an experiment, thefirst author of the paper will determine the centre responsible for the EXFOR
compilation.
Consolidated Summary:
If several institutes of different service areas are involved, the following rules determine
the compilation responsibility:

1) The institute of the facility used, if at least one author is from this institute. If an
itinerant group used the facility, the main investigator of this group determines thecenter responsible.
2) If facilities of different laboratories from different service areas are used, theinstitution from which it is most likely to obtain further information on theexperiment should determine the center responsible. This will normally be thecorresponding author, or, in case of doubt, the first author of the publication. In all
such cases the other affected center and NDS must be contacted before compilation to
avoid duplication.
3) If separate experiments from different service areas with clearly separated results arereported in the same paper, the results should be compiled in separate entries. This
separation is obligatory for different projectile types (neutron, charged particle,
photon). In all such cases cross references to the other entry must be given.

26

Each responsible centre will rapidly assess the contents of an issue of the above journals, andcommunicate rapidly with relevant compilation centres and NDS to point out their need tocompile asap. The NDS coordinator will oversee implementation and report on a quarterly
basis to all responsible centres collectively.
These lists of references must be written in a way making it clear which centre is responsible
for compilation. Therefore, we propose the following form for the Coverage control system:

1. Journal name, volume, Issue, Page, year, Laboratory. Or it can be NSR code and laboratory,
data type (neutron / charged particle / Photonculear), importance of compilation (A(obligatory)/ B (voluntary) / C (separate transmission, like area J)).
2. NDS should receive these lists within one month after issue of publication.

27

Speeding up Compilation of new publications
1. For neutron data, the responsibility for compilation in areas 1,2,3,4 should be clear(remember that neutron data from Japan belong to area 2). Nevertheless, the responsible
centers should inform NDS about their compilation plans.

2. For CPND, the reference has to be booked for compilation by the responsible Center within
one month after publication (or after the center was informed by another center covering theparticular journal). Usually, NDS sends the list of publications that are relevant forcompilation within two weeks after publication.
3. To avoid duplications, it is preferable to send the plan of compilations to NDS in the form:
reference, EXFOR number , laboratory, where experiment was done.

4. The references relevant to EXFOR have to be included in EXFOR within six months after
publication. If there is no possibility to receive data from the author (no reply to e-mail) thecompiler can digitize curves and point out under STATUS that there was no response from theauthor. The compiler should mention the name of the author he tried to contact.
5. After this period, NDS will take the responsibility for compilation of such papers (or assign
it to another center).

6. Photonuclear data are coordinated by CDFE. At present, apart from CDFE, only NNDC andNDS have photonuclear data series (L and G, respectively). All correspondence aboutcompilation of photonuclear data should go to CDFE with copy to NDS.

Progress Report

EXFOR Compilation:
Our main effort on compilation was on EXFOR work. The last TRANS file forneutron-induced reaction was 1336 and the last TRANS file for charge-particle
induced reaction was C074. Gamma-induced reactions were also compiled with two
TRANS files (L007 and L008).
We try to spend the same amount of time on neutron and charge particle –induced
reaction. The priorities are driven by the users’ needs that we contact mainly with the
EXFOR “Contact area” on the NNDC web site (www.nndc.bnl.gov/exfor). It is
important for us to answer as fast as possible to the users’ requests, with the best
possible quality.
Another special effort was in the analysis of the EXFOR retrieval system. It is
important to understand how people are using the web retrieval system to improve it
and to make sure that we answer to the general needs.
CINDA:
It is important for us to provide an up-to-date CINDA database at NNDC. However,no compilations are done at NNDC for CINDA.

STATISTICS:
The number of retrievals for the EXFOR database is increasing over the last few
years, as the total number of retrievals from the NNDC web site (see next figure).
This is reflecting our new web interface, which has for purpose to make easier theaccess of the databases.

PROGRESS REPORT FROM THE
OECD/NEA DATA BANKAt the NRDC meeting at IAEA, Vienna, Austria
12 - 14 October 2005
NEA Web page: www.nea.fr
Contact: db@nea.fr

GeneralThe Data Bank’s primary role is to provide scientists in member countries with reliable nuclear data andcomputer programs for use in different nuclear applications. The services include also thermochemical datafor radioactive waste management applications. The Data Bank organises seminars and workshops topresent information on computer programs or groups of programs that are considered to be of special
interest to users. Training courses on widely used computer programs are organised a few times a year toensure a correct and effective use of these programs.
The Data Bank member countries are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom. Users of the Data Bank
services include governmental research institutes, industry and universities.
By arrangement with IAEA, the Data Bank computer program service covers both Data Bank countries andmember states of IAEA, except USA and Canada where a separate agreement covers nuclear data andcomputer program exchanges.
The NEA Data Bank also maintains a close cooperation with the NEA Nuclear Science Section, which
provides useful feedback on the performance of computer programs and nuclear data through a number ofbenchmark studies, especially in the areas of reactor and fuel cycle physics, criticality safety, and radiation
shielding.
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 8 professional and 7 support staff members work directly with the Data Bank
services (see Fig. 1). The remaining staff is allocated to work in other parts of the NEA.
Thierry Dujardin is Director for Science and Development with Claes Nordborg below him as head of the
Nuclear Science Section, while the post as head of the NEA Data Bank is presently vacant. Within the
Data Bank, Enrico Sartori is responsible for the Computer Codes and Benchmarks together with Juan
Galan and Ivo Kodeli (employed by the IAEA). Hans Henriksson and Yolanda Rugama are responsible for
the Nuclear Data Services. The in-house computer system is taken care of by Pierre Nagel. Finally,
Federico Mompean is responsible for the thermochemical data project. Both Byung-Chan Na and Enrico
Sartori work part-time for the Nuclear Science Section, whereas Federico Mompean work full time on datafor radioactive waste management applications.

31

The total annual budget of the Data Bank is about 3.5 million Euros. The Data Bank provides expertise toother parts of the NEA, for example to the Radioactive Waste Management Division and to the Nuclear
Science Section. These services are paid by the NEA main budget, leaving an annual budget for the Data
Bank scientific services of about 2.7 million Euros.

Figure 1 The NEA Data Bank organisation chart

Nuclear Data Services
The nuclear data services are mainly provided through direct on-line access to the CINDA, EXFOR and
EVA databases containing bibliographic, experimental and evaluated nuclear data respectively. Access to
all the databases is open. The number of retrievals from the NEA Web pages is between 700-1200
requests/month for EXFOR and CINDA, and about the same for evaluated data libraries in the EVA
database. Lately, the display of data, directly from Web retrieval, has been upgraded and a test version is
now accessible. This online plotting facility is linked to and performed in JANIS, the data display programthat has been developed at the NEA.
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. Thevery large datasets are normally distributed on CD-ROM or DVD. Providing advice to nuclear data users
is another important part of the nuclear data services.

32

EXFOR and CINDA
More than 100 new neutron reaction experiments and almost 500 charged particle experiments have beenentered by the Data Bank into the EXFOR database since the beginning of 2004 (see Table 1). The database is updated continuously and the delay between article publication and inclusion in EXFOR has been
reduced.

The CINDA database has been subject to a major extension thanks to a new format and the translation of
the EXFOR database so that CINDA now also includes charged particle data. At the NEA, the new
CINDA format, CINDA2001, has been adopted in a local database. The CINDA data from Area 2 has been
converted and was sent to NDS in Vienna for the final CINDA master version. The new database contains
over 150 000 lines of references separated into about 60 000 blocks, only for Area 2.
The CINDA database is available at the NEA both on DVD, together with JANIS, and on-line through theWeb. Due to the extension of CINDA to include charged particle data, the NEA has decided to produce the
CINDA Book. This archive version will be printed early 2006, pending decisions at the NRDC meeting
2005.
Data display tools: JANISThe nuclear data display software, JANIS (Java Nuclear Information System), developed at the NEA Data
Bank, has been available for all interested users free of charge since its first release in 2001. JANIS
accesses locally stored data as well as remote data of most evaluated data libraries together with the33

EXFOR and CINDA databases on the NEA server. JANIS was presented at the last two International
Nuclear Data conferences (ND2001 in Tsukuba, Japan and ND2004 in Santa Fe, USA), as well as atvarious nuclear data workshops, such as the International Workshop on “Nuclear Data Needs for
Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems” in Antwerp, Belgium, April 5-7, 2005.
JANIS comprises a number of functionalities. The main browser window shows the nuclide chart where
basic isotope data can be shown, from NUBASE or overall information of an isotope from evaluated datalibraries. Data from the main evaluated libraries, ENDF/B, JEFF, JENDL, BROND etc. as well as the
EXFOR database can be displayed and inter-compared. The CINDA database is also included and madesearchable in JANIS. The formats supported are ENDF-6 (along with the linearised pointwise option
PENDF and the group-wise option GENDF) and the computational format derived from EXFOR. An
example is shown in Fig 2 on how JANIS displays data on the total cross section of 99Tc from JEFF-3.1
and where the user has compared the results with JEFF-3.0 as well as with a set of data form EXFOR.
A variety of output formats exist in JANIS. For the graphical display, the PS/EPS and PNG formats are
possible, and tabular data can be stored in CSV format (Comma Separated Values) for further use in othersoftware (e.g. MS Excel).

Figure 2. JANIS plot window with the 'Chart of Nuclides' window in the
background. The total cross section of 99Tc in JEFF-3.0 and JEFF-3.1 is plottedand compared with EXFOR data.

The latest version of JANIS (JANIS-2.2) was released in May 2005. The program is free of charge and canbe downloaded or launched using ‘JAVA Web Start’ from the JANIS home page: http://www.nea.fr/janis,where the complete manual can be found as well. Recently, a test version of JANIS is launched whenretrieving data from EXFOR or evaluated data libraries on the NEA Web page, see e.g.
http://www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/x4/x4retbeg-H2.html for EXFOR retrievals. Feedback is appreciated andcan be posted at janisinfo@nea.fr.

The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion (JEFF) Project and JEFF-3.1
The JEFF-3.1 Nuclear Data Library is the latest version of the Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion Library.
The full picture of the evolution of the JEFF project is presented in Fig. 3. The complete suite of data wasreleased in May 2005, and contains general purpose nuclear data evaluations compiled at the OECD
Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank in co-operation with several laboratories in the Data Bank
member countries. Within the framework of the JEFF-3 project, the JEFF Working Group on Radioactive
Data and Fission Yields decided to produce improved versions of the decay-data and fission-yield libraries
with a release in conjunction with the JEFF library. Activation data has also been included in the latest
version.

Figure 3. JEFF history from the start with the two fission and fusion projects
JEF and EFF in the 1980s up to the release of JEFF-3.1 in May 2005.

JEFF-3.1 combines the efforts of the JEFF and EFF/EAF Working Groups who have contributed to thiscombined fission and fusion file. The neutron data library covers 381 isotopes or elements, which is anincrease from 340 in JEFF-3.0. There are 26 isotopes in the proton data library, and 9 materials are coveredin the thermal scattering law file. A great achievement was to include covariance data for many isotopes in
the neutron data library. All actinides have now extended information on delayed neutron data in that they
all are presented in eight-group formalism. The special purpose library on activation data contains 774
target nuclei with over 12600 neutron induced reactions. Included is also radioactive decay data with about
3852 isotopes and spontaneous and neutron induced fission yield data. Processed data for MC applications
will be made available later on as well as full documentation of JEFF-3.1. The data can be downloaded
from the NEA web site, www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/JEFF, and CDs are distributed on request.

35

The NEA High Priority Request List (HPRL)The NEA Data Bank is responsible for the HPRL, which is a collection of requests to provide targets forthe improvement of nuclear data, primarily for application in the nuclear industry through the evaluateddata projects, and is a compilation of the highest priority nuclear data requirements. The purpose of the list
is to provide a guide for those planning measurement, nuclear theory and evaluation programmes. The
HPRL is a place where data users meet data producers.
The HPRL is in a stage of renewal. A totally new list is going to be presented in the autumn of 2005, andeach year there will be a review of the requests by external referees coordinated by the subgroup C of theOECD NEA Nuclear Science Committee's Working Parties on International Evaluation Co-operation(WPEC). This group consists of both data users and producers from industry, representing Europe, Japan,
Russia and USA.
The NEA is at the moment collecting new requests for experimental nuclear data. The requests are divided
in high priority ones, where a quantitative justification is needed, and general requests where a morequalitative justification is sufficient. All requests need to be tied to a certain project including a project life
span, that is to be stated. The list will be maintained by the NEA Data Bank and is presented on the NEA
home page: http://www.nea.fr/html/dbdata/hprl/

Data from Integral Experiments
The Data Bank and the NEA Nuclear Science division work closely together on the preservation of datafrom integral experiments to assist users in having well documented data available for benchmark testing,especially in the context of the development of future nuclear energy systems. The Nuclear Science
Committee (NSC) is responsible for the overall guidance of the project, whereas the Data Bank provides
the infrastructure for the safeguarding of information in databases and for services to member countries.
In order to provide feedback to nuclear data evaluators, integral experimental data of benchmark quality
has been compiled, evaluated, reviewed and published. The most relevant ones for nuclear data are:- International Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments (ICSBEP)- Radiation Shielding and Dosimetry Benchmark Experiments (SINBAD)- International Reactor Physics Experiments Evaluations (IRPhE).
Computer Program Services
The computer program services (CPS) group provides more than 2000 documented software packages andgroup cross-section data sets related to nuclear energy applications. The services include collection ofprograms, compilation and verification in an appropriate computer environment, and that the computer
program package is complete and adequately documented. (see www.nea.fr/html/dbprog). The activities
comprise acquisition of computer codes and experimental system data needed over a wide range of nuclear
and radiation applications. Independent verification and validation of these is offered using quality
assurance methods, adding value through international benchmark exercises, workshops and meetings andby issuing relevant reports with conclusions and recommendations. The CPS disseminates the different
products to authorised establishments in member countries and integrates user feedback (more than 600
establishments are served in member countries and about 80 from other countries through agreement with
the IAEA).
Of particular interest to the nuclear data community are a set of nuclear model codes and experimental dataprocessing/unfolding codes. These have been contributed by member countries and then tested with the36aim of supporting work in nuclear data evaluations. Also computer codes for checking evaluated data files
and/or processing them into application libraries (multi-group or continuous energy) have been gathered
and made available within the CPS to authorised users. The list and abstract of these codes can be found in:- Cross Section and Resonance Integral Calculations
http://www.nea.fr/html/dbprog/categ-a.html- Spectrum Calculations, Generation of Group Constants and Cell Problems
http://www.nea.fr/html/dbprog/cpsabs_b.html- Experimental Data Processing
http://www.nea.fr/html/dbprog/cpsabs_o.html
Workshops and seminars
The NEA Data Bank organises seminars and workshops to present information on computer programs orgroups of programs that are considered to be of special interest to users, such as the NJOY workshop in
May 2005 at the NEA. Training courses on widely used computer programs are organised a few times ayear to ensure a correct and effective use of them.
The Thermochemical Database (TDB)
The Thermochemical Database (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 Project iscurrently supported by 16 organisations from 12 OECD member countries.
An update to earlier reviews of thermochemical data for Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, andTechnetium was published in 2003. Reviews of data for Zirconium, Selenium, Nickel and selected organic
compounds have been published in 2005. A new phase of the project was started in 2003 covering
evaluation of inorganic complexes and compounds of Thorium, Iron, Tin and Molybdenum.

Summary of Nuclear Data Studies by Staff of the IAEA Nuclear Data
Section, 1 October 2004 – 30 September 2005, Editor: O. Schwerer
IAEA Technical Meeting, 12 - 14 October 2005
International Atomic Energy Agency, Headquarters,
Vienna, Austria
Web: http://www-nds.iaea.org/
e-mail: services@iaeand.iaea.org

1. Staff
The authorized staff level of the Nuclear Data Section remains at a total of 18 professionals andsupport staff. Three new staff members joined during the reporting period: Alberto Mengoni(effective from 1 July 2005), Mark Kellett (effective from 1 March 2005) and Janet Roberts(effective from 1 June 2005 (from temporary position)), succeeding former staff members
Vladimir Pronyaev, Racquel Paviotti-Corcuera and Andrea Scherbaum, respectively.
2. Data Compilations
2.1

EXFOR and Dictionaries

Over the previous year, NDS staff have distributed 9 CPND TRANS files (D035 - D043),
containing 174 new entries (160 compiled at NDS, 11 at ATOMKI, 3 at UkrNDC) and 2 revised
entries, and one neutron TRANS file (3117) containing 9 new and 12 revised entries. The
compilations consist of new literature as well as important old references for ion beam analysis,
medical applications, and proton-induced data. A collection of EXFOR-relevant articles in pdf
format has been initiated for internal use that includes about 1400 articles found from theInternet or scanned from hardcopies (NDS has recently acquired a new scanner with scanningspeeds of up to 60 pages-per-minute simplex, and up to 120 pages-per minute duplex)
As of 29 September, 67 TRANS files were received, checked (with feedback to the originating
centers) and processed, of which 58 were final versions that were added to the master file. These
final transmissions contained 470 neutron entries (210 new, 260 revised), 857 CPND entries(712 new, 145 revised) and 80 photonuclear entries (60 new, 20 revised).
With effect from 1 July 2005, NDS offers a "common EXFOR master file" that has resulted
from a detailed comparison in particular of the NDS and NNDC master files. Further checking
and corrections of existing entries can be continued wherever necessary, and is facilitated by thefact that only one master file needs to be updated.
NDS staff have produced and distributed three regular transmissions of the EXFOR/CINDA
dictionaries (TRANS 9087-9089) in EXFOR, DANIEL (backup) and archive format. After
updates of several related software programs, dictionary transmission 9089 is the first version inwhich all new dictionaries presented and approved in 2004 are available in all formats (including
EXFOR format). At the same time, the CHEX checking program was upgraded to work with39

those new dictionaries (particularly the new quantity dictionary 236 and new nuclides dictionary227). The feedback of Otsuka (JCPRG) on the dictionary transmissions is much appreciated.
Also, three lists of papers (mostly “old” literature) are still on control for completeness ofcompilation:
1. list for Ion Beam Analysis;
2. list for Reference Input Parameters Library (RIPL);
3. list for CRP on “Cross Sections for the Production of Therapeutic Radioisotopes”.
2.2

CINDA

CINDA meeting"EXFOR-CINDA: revision of contents, compilation and plans" – meeting was held in Vienna,
IAEA, 26-28 April 2005, to discuss in detail the algorithm for the import of information fromEXFOR to new CINDA (extended by charged particles, photo-nuclear and missing neutron
reaction data), and to define the steps that should be taken by nuclear data centres to produce the
new common CINDA database. Other important tasks and problems were discussed: contents of
CINDA and EXFOR databases, compilation process, plans regarding the CINDA database, ongoing merger project of NNDC and IAEA versions of the EXFOR database. A major result wasthat all details for assembling the final “new CINDA” file were agreed and a plan of migration
was fixed (Memo CP-D/433).

Status of CINDA at NDS
Agreed algorithms and procedures were implemented (see WP-2005-xxx) on the basis of thecommon EXFOR master file and dictionaries 9089. New CINDA contains old CINDA data anddata imported automatically from the latest version of the common EXFOR database. The
software also allows the import of the latest update(s) from EXFOR to CINDA; first version of a
CINDA editor is ready; along with database maintenance tools.

Coverage control
One of the functions of CINDA had been to control the process of EXFOR compilation.
Because CINDA-2001 was in the preparation stage for a long time, this function was moved to a
stand-alone local database called the CINDA coverage control system. Under this system, NDS
staff scan over 58 journal titles (mainly through the Internet) for the purpose of compilation
coverage control.

Over 600 journal issues from 1995 to 2005 were added to the database for CINDA coveragecontrol in late 2004/2005. Journals references that should be compiled elsewhere were also
dispatched to the relevant centres (Japan, Russia, Hungary and NEADB).
All relevant references absent from EXFOR were sent to the responsible centres for compilation,
along with hardcopies of the papers, if necessary.
2.3

Evaluated data libraries, files and programs

Various new evaluated data libraries, files and programs for data checking, processing andgraphical presentation were added to the NDS IAEA Web-site and distributed on CD-ROM:••

3. Services
Web Services
Since Web-services were migrated from VMS to a Linux-based system, further tuning andimprovements have been implemented in the EXFOR/CINDA/ENDF retrieval systems: direct
links to Web-journals, links to NSR (Web), new computational format (T4). ENDF extended by
two libraries (IRDF-2002 and JEFF-3.1). Self-configuration was developed, so installation of
the system became trivial. Clones of the system were installed in BARC (India) and IPEN
(Brazil), and the system is also successfully functioning at NNDC. Statistics of usage of the Web
retrieval system are presented in Fig. 1.

Telnet access to the nuclear data bases (“NDIS”) is no longer supported. Users are invited toswitch to the web services.
CD-ROMs• “EXFOR/CINDA for Windows” CD was issued twice. It contains the "common EXFOR
master file".
• “EXFOR/CINDA for Applications” for Linux and Windows was also issued twice; also
distributed together as part of EndVer/GUI-CD and Empire-package.

Mail services
Between October 2004 and September 2005, NDS distributed 934 hardcopy documents (INDC
reports, Charts of Nuclides, Nuclear Wallet Cards) and 1211 PC media (CD-ROMs and DVDs).

PROGRESS REPORT

P4

to NRDC Meeting (12 - 14 October 2005, Vienna )M.V.Mikhaylyukova, V.N.Manokhin, S.A.Maev
Russian Nuclear Data Center(CJD, IPPE, Obninsk )Introduction.

During the period passed after previous Meeting the current work was continued
concerning EXFOR compilation and fulfillment of NRDC-2004 Recommendations andActions. Much efforts were applied for restoring CJD Web-site and guarantee access to it
from the users. A large part of activity was related to the nuclear data evaluation. The details
are given below.
1. Staff

During the last year:

A. Two staff members joined the center.
Vladimir Pronyaev (pronyaev@ippe.ru) joined the center as leading scientist working in thefield of development of theory of nuclear reactions, nuclear model calculation and evaluationof neutron data, analysis of nuclear data uncertainties.
Aleksej Storozhenko joined the center as senor researcher for nuclear data calculation andevaluation.
B. Six staff members left our Center:
Nikolay Kulagin, who was responsible for the software of the RNDC computer network,
Internet information service;
Sergey Krivchikov, responsible for development and maintenance of CJD Web-site andpersonal computers software maintenance;
Saria Nasyrova, responsible for data processing for the activation and radiation damage datalibraries.
Others are 3 technical staff members.
2. CINDA activity.

The CINDA activity is continued. However, since October 2004 up to present time the CJD
didn’t transmit any CINDA batches because of stopping CINDA compilation into old format
and absence of editor code for new CINDA format.
3. EXFOR activity.

All journals available at the Institute library are checked for the presence of the experimental
data.
Exfor Trans 4133 was transmitted to NDS as final.
47

Exfor Trans 4134 is now declared as final.

Exfor Trans 4135 is declared as prelim now.

The number of experimental works was decreased in Russia, the most of them were madeunder financial support of different funds: ROSATOM, ISTC, RFBR or INTAS.
The efforts were made to establish cooperation with authors to get numerical data
(Khryachkov’s data).
At present time we have begun to scan experimental data from graphics. It will let us toincrease the number of compiled articles for EXFOR library.
4. Computer and software matters. WEB-site service.

During 2004-2005 years the large efforts were devoted to development and better functioningof the Internet Web-site of Russian Nuclear Data Center. The RNDC Web-site
http://www.ippe.ru/podr/cjd/ is now available to users via Internet access.
Some upgrade of computer’s hardware and software was made.
Secure FTP shell was successfully installed for secure access to NDS open area for up- anddownloading.
The last version of ENDVER is installed in many PC of Nuclear Data Department. The
number of scientists and researchers using the Retrival System for EXFOR data basedeveloped by V.Zerkin is increased substantially. A lot of CD-disk copies were prepaired by
CJD and distributed to other IPPE departments.

5. Nuclear data evaluation activity.

The main efforts of CJD in the data evaluation activity are directed to analysis of available
evaluated data files and selection of the best ones with point of view of microscopic andintegral experimental data and nuclear theory model calculations. This work is being done
mainly by A.Ignatyuk, V.Manokhin and V.Pronyaev in close cooperation with M.Nikolaev’s
group.
A.Blokhin’s group is engaged activity in nuclear data evaluation and practical calculation of
the activation and radiation damage of structural materials for fission and fusion reactors.
6. Publications.

Two issues of journal “Yadernye Konstanty” were published during 2004 year. The electronic
copies of this issues were sent to NDS for translation in English and publishing as NDS
reports. During 2005 year issue 1 is prepaired for publishing.
7. Acknowlegments.

We greatly appreciate the help of Otto Schwerer and Liam Castello to overcome our problems
for secure access to the NDS open area and Naohiko Otsuka also for help in the successful
compilation.

ACTIVITY of CAJAD
for theP5

IAEA Technical Meeting:
Vienna, Austria, 12-14 October 2005

S.Babykina
Nuclear Structure and Reaction Data Center,
Kurchatov’s Institute,
Moscow
Our Exfor activity had two main direction1. Compilation A -Library.
After last meeting 2004 we prepared A060 Trans file. This
Trans file contains astrophysical data, fission data, monitor reaction data. The
files include new entries . Lately in Russia on account of decrease of interest
to the nuclear physical investigations the number of publications sharp
reduced.

2. Team-work with NEA DATA-BANK.
During 2004 year 100 Entries were prepared and included in O-library.
These Entries contain mainly differential data for elastic and inelastic
scattering and production cross section radioactive and stable isotopes. This
work is orientated mainly for nuclear wastes transformation , medical
applications and material analysis.

3. Checking Codes.
We use to check our TRANSES and ENTRIES two checking codes- our checking code
- CHEX
It is very useful, because the codes are not similar and different errors are
finding.

4. According to the conclusion 16 last meeting EPJ/A and YF
journals review was performed by CAJAD. The list of papers was send to
NDS for following distribution between the responsible Centers. The list of
papers for compilation from later numbers EPJ/A and YF represent right
now.

Compilation activity

In 2005 there was successfully finished the project # RP2-2403-SR-02 “Compilation and
Evaluation of Alpha-Induced Nuclear Reaction Cross Sections for Astrophysics” of the U.S.
Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF). The final report on the project wasapproved in July. Compilation of data on the project was finished completely. Threetransmission tapes TRANS (F020, F021, F022) were prepared and included into the EXFOR
data library.
The materials are prepared to prolong the project. It is assumed to continue in the new
project the works on getting parameters of the Woods – Saxon potential for the 12C + α, 16O + α,
20
Ne + α systems in order to calculate radiation capture cross-sections for this chain of nuclear
reactions. For this purpose it is planned to compile and present for general use the complete setsof all available experimental data for α-induced reactions within the energy range of interest.
Today the works on modifying software on processing and introduction of experimental
information to EXFOR library are being carried out. A complex of programs using a single
interface and including procedures of introduced data editing, sorting and processing is being
created.
Evaluation activity

Within the frames of ISTC Project # RP2-2403-SR-02 for the 24Mg+α, 28Si+α, 32S+α,
Ar+α and 40Ca+α systems there were obtained parameters of the optical potential aimed at
calculating cross-sections of nuclear reactions using Hauser-Feshbach statistical model. To
determine parameters of the Woods – Saxon potential with surface absorption a systemapproach, whose basic principles are described in a final report, was used. The SCAT2 programcode was used in this work to describe the differential cross-sections of elastic scattering to findparameters of the optical potential.
A modern version of the program using the possibilities of the Windows graphic interface
was created by the Center programmers. This made it possible to essentially simplify the workwith the application and make it more efficient. The input and output of results in SCAT2changed considerably: today all the results of program operation are displayed in the form oftables and plots. There appeared the possibility of introducing experimental data and finding
their deviation from the calculated ones. The real part of potential can be introduced to the tableor plot.

Data base development

A new SaBa database version – the library of evaluated and experimental data on charged
particles interaction with light nuclei – is now available for Russian users.
The development of SaBa library is going on. Within the frames of ISTC Project K-1128“Experimental and Theoretical Researches of Nuclear Reactions Induced by Protons and α51

particles on Light Nuclei for Astrophysics” the introduction of new modes related to dataprocessing on differential cross-sections is planned.
After a big repair an electrostatic tandem accelerator of ions EGP-10 was put into
operation in INRR. A new mode allowing operation with a micro-beam is introduced. Putting
into operation of this accelerator will make it possible to renew investigations in studying
interaction of charged particles with light and medium nuclei.

Experimental microscopic cross section data published earlier and not yet included in
the previous evaluation work or new data measured recently were collected and added to theprimary database in order to improve the quality of the recommended data. The newly
compiled experimental data influenced the decision made earlier and resulted in new selectedcross-section data sets. A spline fitting method was applied to the selected data sets andupdated recommended data were produced in those cases.
A validation test of the upgraded recommended cross-section database for productionof gamma emitter radioisotopes was also performed by collecting experimental integral thicktarget yields and critically compared with yields deduced from the new recommended crosssections. The yield values calculated from the recommended cross sections were comparedwith the data of the frequently used compilation work of P.P. Dmitriev, (Radionuclide Yield
in Reactions with Protons, Deuterons, Alpha Particles and Helium-3, Moscow,
Ehnergioatomizdat (1986), and INDC(CCP)-263/G+CN+SZ (1986)) in those cases for whichdata were available.
The upgraded data, figures and tables were sent to NDS to update the web version(http://www-nds.iaea.org/medical) of the database regarding the gamma emitter reactions.
The new updated recommended data were compiled in EXFOR format, in entry no. D4147.
The results were also published in a NIM/B article [1].

Nuclear Data for Production of Therapeutic Radionuclides

We participate in the CRP which was started in 2003 with the aim of to improve theaccuracy and completeness of the data needed for the optimum production of therapeutic
radioisotopes, to undertake new measurements, to compile and evaluate all experimental data53

available on this area, to determine optimum conditions for the production of the selectedradioisotopes and to produce accurate cross sections and comprehensive decay schemes forthe investigated radionuclides.
II.

EXFOR compilation

We continued the compilation work of charged particle induced nuclear reactions in
EXFOR format. During the last period 11 new entries were produced with 82 subentries
containing data.
Three journals were scanned for publications according to the agreement of the last
meeting (NIM/A, NIM/B, ARI) for the years of 2004-2005 and the relevant list of articles
were sent to NDS.
III.

Experimental work

We continued to measure experimental cross sections of light charged particles (proton,
deuteron, 3He and alpha) induced reactions on various targets. Data are assessed or underprocess. Results were reported in scientific journals or relevant conferences. See list of
publications.

Since the last NRDC meeting (October 2004, Brookhaven), we have carried out the following activities:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Compilation of CPND measured in Japan for NRDF and EXFOR
Compilation of CPND published in Japan for CINDA
Maintenance of data input system.
Maintenance of NRDF retrieval system.
Development of EXFOR and ENDF retrieval system
Development of digitization system
Data services

These activities are carried out under the supervision of NRDF Steering Committee, which consists of 9senior researchers (8 nuclear physicists and 1 information scientist). Under this committee, 9 group members(5 postdoctoral researchers, 3 graduate students and 1 technical staff) work for the compilation. Additionally, 6
postdoctoral researchers, including some of the above, are working on system maintenance and development.
These activities and data services are coordinated by 1 secretary.
Furthermore, our activities have been activated by V. McLane, who stayed at Hokkaido University from 6
February 2005 to 5 March 2005. During her stay, some US data in NRDF have been translated to EXFOR and
submitted (TRANS.T020). She also held two workshops on EXFOR compilation for graduate students.
Additionally, she gave an oral talk in the international symposium “Recent Advances in Astrophysics andPlanetary Science” held at Hokkaido University.
The regular JCPRG budget ended at March 2001. We are applying to the Japanese government for acompetitive budget for our further activity.

1. Compilation of CPND for NRDF and EXFOR

From April 2004 to March 2005, CPND in 45 references (540 records, 2.12 MB) have been newly
compiled for NRDF. The data had been measured in Japan and published in JPJ, NST, PR/C, PRL, PL/B, NP,
ARI, NP/A, NIM/A, EPJ/A and RCA.
Since 2004 NRDC meeting, we have made 111 new entries and have revised 37 old entries. These weretransmitted as 7 trans files (E029-E033, J001-J003 and R015) to NDS open area. JCPRG is grateful for
valuable comments from NDS and CAJaD on our transmissions. CHEX and TEST-EXF are useful for us.
Some numerical data of Japanese work received from NNDC are now in process of compilation.
According to the agreement (Conclusion 2004-14) at 2004 NRDC meeting, the scope of area J is defined as“Charged-particle nuclear data for projectile with non-positive baryon number” (See also Action 2004-24, CPE/053). We thus moved 5 old entries from area E to area J. In addition, 4 new entries have been compiled inarea J.
Author proofs have been made for several entries related to Cyclotron Radioisotope Center (CYRIC) in
Tohoku University and Department of Applied Quantum Physics and Nuclear Engineering in Kyushu
University. We appreciate the authors’ cooperation.

59

2. Compilation of CPND for CINDA

We prepare CINDA batches for CPND published in Japan every half a year. Each batch covers 6 issues ofeach of 3 Japanese journals JPJ, PTP and NST. Some relevant proceedings and reports are also compiled. The
first batch (86 new records) was submitted to NEA in July 2004, though the batch will be corrected according
to the decision at 2004 NRDC meeting. The total number of records submitted to NEA-DB is then 141.
Neutron related bibliographies are compiled by JAERI Nuclear Data Center as before.

3. Maintenance of NRDF and EXFOR editor “HENDEL”

A Web-based nuclear data input system is maintained and revised. Internal dictionaries for the system wereimmediately updated with that for NRDF or EXFOR. Various problems have been gradually fixed andcorrected. All of our recent entries for NRDF and EXFOR are now generated by this system. This system thus
provides us with a good environment for the compilation.
This system is available at our web site: http://jcprg.hucc.hokudai.ac.jp/editor/ . One can login as a guest
user using the user id (guest) and password (jcprgx4) and then one can edit any entries with a centre
identification character, X. We can issue other centre identification character and user id at request.

4. Maintenance of NRDF Retrieval System “DARPE”

The NRDF database is available at our web site: http://www.jcprg.org/nrdf/. New data, which has been
finalized not yet for EXFOR but for NRDF, can be obtained from this site. This retrieval system is written in a
Perl script without any database management system.

5. Development of EXFOR and ENDF Retrieval System “SPES”

The new EXFOR and ENDF retrieval system named “SPES” is being developed by the cooperation
between JCPRG and JAERI. In this system, we can retrieve the required data from EXFOR and ENDF at thesame time, and then draw 2D or 3D viewgraphs of cross sections or angular distributions in the same panel.
Users can upload their own data files, and plot them with the data from EXFOR and/or ENDF. This system iscomposed of the programs written in Perl and a database management system, MySQL. We will finish thedevelopment by the next spring. A prototype of ENDF plotting tool for (PENDL) is also available at
http://www.jcprg.org/endf/.

6. Development of Digitization System “GSYS”

A new digitizing system "GSYS" based on Java has been developed. This new system works on any kindof the operating system. With GSYS, one can easily read-in and digitize the graphical data with high accuracy.
GSYS is freely available at http://jcprg.hucc.hokudai.ac.jp/gsys/gsys-e.html. Recently, we are trying to add the"feedback" function, which makes it possible to load the numerical data and plot the data as markers on animage. This function is very helpful to compare the numerical data with the original data on the graphicalimage visually and modify the numerical data if needed. The latest "GSYS" with the feedback function will beavailable in the near future.

7. Data services for Japanese Users

We provide Japanese researchers in nuclear physics and nuclear engineering with nuclear data as well as
nuclear reaction data (NRDF and EXFOR). For more information, we published “Annual Report of Nuclear
Reaction Data File Vol.18” in March 2005.
Recently we have established mutual communication with JENDL evaluators in Japan (e.g. JAERI Nuclear
Data Center). They found many mistakes in EXFOR. We forwarded them to responsible centres. The list canbe seen at http://jcprg.hucc.hokudai.ac.jp/exfor/feedbacks.html .

Progress Report to
the IAEA Technical Meeting on Coordination of the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data
Centres (12 – 14 October 2005, IAEA NDS, Vienna, Austria).

This report contains the short review of the works carried out by the Lomonosov

Moscow State University Skobeltsym Institute of Nuclear Physics Centre for Photonuclear
Experiments Data (Centr Dannykh Fotoyadernykh Eksperimentov – CDFE) concern the IAEA

Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network activities for the period of time from the IAEA

Technical Meeting on the Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (04 - 07 October 2004,
NNDC, BNL, Brookhaven, USA) till the fall of 2005 and main results obtained.

EXFOR compilations
Three new CDFE EXFOR TRANSes M036, M037, and M038 (PRELIM) have been

produced and transmitted to the IAEA NDS. Many old data have been corrected in accordancewith comments of Otto Schwerer, Dimitri Rochman, and Naohiko Otsuka. On the whole theCDFE TRANSes mentioned contain (Annex 1) 26 retransmitted and 21 new (M0658 -M0679 (without M0669)) ENTRYs with 101 new data SUBENTs.

Upgrading of databases
The

CDFE

relational

nucleardata

databases(newWeb-siteaddress-

http://cdfe.sinp.msu.ru – (instead of old one - http://depni.sinp.msu.ru/cdfe)) have been

upgraded significantly:•

the “2004” part (the “2005” is in processing) has been added to the CDFE

“Photonuclear Data Index”; as whole the “Photonuclear Data Index 1955 -2004”
database has been added by a significant amount of entries from /1/; for articles included

into international EXFOR nuclear reaction data fund all data sets are available in formsof table and graphs;•

the database "Giant Dipole Resonance Parameters" has been upgraded significantly:
many new data sets have been added;65•

many full texts (in *.pdf format) have been connected to the CDFE M-series documentsof the relational “Nuclear Reaction Database (EXFOR)”; the complete database of
those files has been transmitted to the IAEA NDS in accordance with Otto Schwerer’s

Memo CP-D/426 from 1 April 2005; because now all three international complete

CDFE databases (EXFOR, ENSDF and NSR) are combined /2/ into unified information
system all those full texts are available both through EXFOR and NSR databases.

Photonuclear data evaluations
As an continuation of consistent analysis and evaluation of total and partial

photonuclear reactions cross sections many data for various multiplicitiy photoneutron
reaction cross sections have been obtained /3/ using the Giant Dipole Resonance statisticalmodel for all stable isotopes of nuclei with Z = 30 – 92. The cross section energy dependency(excitation function) and integrated cross section data have been evaluated for incident

gamma-quanta energies from the correspondent threshold up to 50 MeV for total absorption(γ,abs) and partial photoneutron (γ,n), (γ,2n), (γ,3n), (γ,4n), and (γ,5n) reactions.

Some evaluated photonuclear reaction cross section data have been reported /4,5/ on theInternational Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology at Santa Fe, New
Mexico, USA.

Nuclear structure data
Concern the CDFE nuclear structure database production activity at first time nuclear

level quadrupole moments (“Q-moments”) data produced “by hands” using text parts(CONTINUATION etc.) of ENSDF data sets have been included into the CDFE “Relational

ENSDF” database. Now those values could be used in all possible database queries.

The parameters of deformation of many nuclei obtained using nuclear level quadrupole

moments (“Q-moments”) data obtained from ENSDF, information from Atomic data andnuclear data tables /6/ and some other sources /7/ are used now in development of “Chart ofnuclide quadrupole deformations”.

Some evaluated nuclear structure data (energies and occupation probabilities of single-

particle nuclear states) have been reported /8/ on the International Conference on Nuclear Data
for Science and Technology at Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.

GeneralJapan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been established in October 1,

2005. The Agency has succeeded the activities of Japan Atomic Energy

Research Institute (JAERI) and Japan Nuclear Fuel Cycle Development
Cooperation (JNC). The number of the staff members amounts more than
4000. The activities of JAEA cover from basic nuclear sciences to big projectsuch as FBR development and J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator ResearchComplex) project.

The activities of Nuclear Data Center in JAERI have been taken overby Nuclear Data Center ( The English name has not been officially fixed yetat this time.) in JAEA.

Activities of Nuclear Data Evaluation

We have some nuclear data evaluation activities. The first andimportant one is JENDL-4 project. The JENDL-4 library is planned to bereleased in 2010. The second one is development of High Energy File. The

data of the high energy file is going to be used for shielding design of highenergy proton accelerator of J-PARC and development of ADS system. The
nuclear reaction codes are being developed for evaluation work. The briefsummary of those activities is given below.
1) JENDL-4 Project

The evaluation work for the JENDL-4 library has been continued. In

the evaluation work the data of FP and MA nuclides are mainly reviewed
71

and are going to be revised. The resonance parameters of FP nuclides arereviewed and update based on recent measured data. The fission crosssections of Cm, Cf and Pu isotopes are updated based on measured data. The

covariance data of those isotopes are also evaluated. The covariance data ofminor actinides are also requested for ADS (Accelerator Driven System)
development and evaluated for the isotopes of Np, Am and so on.
2) High Energy File

The JENDL High Energy File containing the data of 66 nuclides was

released in March 2004 as JENDL/HE-2004. The data included are reaction
data of protons and neutrons with energy up to 3 GeV. The final version of
the high energy file is planned to be released in 2007 which includes the dataof 122 nuclides.

3) Code Development

Nuclear model codes are being developed for the evaluation work of

JENDL-4. The codes are developed based on spherical optical model, DWBA
and coupled-channel optical models (CCOM, CCDM, CCPM, CCSM and
POD).

Other activities

1) Development of Data Utilization System

We are developing the Data Utilization System. The development isconducted by the research contract with the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The utilization system provides twofunctions: 1) retrieval of measured and evaluated data, 2) processing ofevaluated data for application. The development is planned to be finished in
FY2006. The main work of the MEXT project is the development of detector

system to measure the nuclear data of minor actinides. The development of

the detector system has almost finished and the test of the system is being
performed. The measured data are planned to be obtained late this year. The
measurements of fission and capture cross section of 237Np and 241,243Am areplanned to be obtained until the end of FY2006.
72

2) (α,n) Reaction Data

The data of (α,n) reaction has been evaluated and released in 2005 as

JENDL/AN-2005. The data included in the file are expected to be used foranalysis of spent fuel. The design and safety analysis of transport cask andfuel storage require the data of neutron generation. The high burn-up ofright water reactor fuel and the utilization of MOX fuel are expected to

produce more α-emitting nuclides than usual fuel. The (α,n) reaction data

will be used for such analyses.

Annex 1

WP 2005-21

Concept of Projects in CINDA
V.Zerkin, IAEA-NDS

Information in CINDA is presented by Lines which are united in Blocks. Blocks aredefined as unique combination of (Target, Reaction, Quantity, Lab, BlockNo). One of the
major parameter in the Line (and important for us now) is Reference. BlockNo is
assigned by a Compiler when s/he wants to separate a works which done in the same Lab
but for some reasons have to be presented separately. (The reason can be: anotherequipment, purpose of experiment, method of obtaining results, time, etc.) This structure
can be presented as nested information (see Present schema).
The same Reference can appear in several Blocks, this means that the work behind allthese Blocks was done by (almost) the same authors, most likely using the same
methodology and has other similarity. So, the number of Blocks have something common
in background (at least from the view point of Compiler which united publications into
each Block), but being stored in the present structure they are not related to each otherand do not have a visible connection. As result, the CINDA compilation is a complex
thing: the observation of the data in database is difficult, assignment of the BlockNo is a
magic, Comments are often repeated, and whole process is not conceptually clear anddifficult for understanding, especially by a new compiler.
Lets look to the matter from another direction. Usually, a group of authors is doing thework under a PROJECT (it can be a project in one Lab or in inter-Lab project) with somebackground, purpose, equipment, method, etc. They publish results in several places(Lab-reports, conferences, journals, books, etc.), which can have various data for several
reactions. (In some sense, PROJECT is similar to ENTRY in EXFOR.) Obviously, if we
introduce an essence <Project> and restructure our schema we can have someadvantages:
1. Easier to observe information in CINDA: Blocks (=Reaction-codes) are grouped under
Publication (Reference);
2. Easier to deal with blocking (to define whether or not a publication should go to a new
Project)
3. Usage of XML: viewers (Internet Explorer: see Fig.3), editors, no limits, “industrial
standard”, etc.
At present CINDA Projects can be “calculated” on top of existing CINDA relational
database. Software is written. For now, features working with Projects are (and willprobably be) included to the CD-ROM “EXFOR-CINDA for Windows” with MS-Accessdatabase and retrieval system.
The Project concept with connection to XML format and related software, compilation
process, retrieval and presentation is under development at NDS.

Subject:

Separate Covariance Files in EXFOR

As discussed at the last NRDC meeting (see Action A24), I submit a proposal on thestorage of covariance information for EXFOR data in ENDF-6 File 33 format. The
idea is that, in cases where the authors present their covariance information in theinternationally agreed File 33 format, it is not meaningful to convert the data intoanother, not so well known format.
The general format of separately stored covariance data is described in the EXFOR
Formats Manual, Appendix B. (This is not a strictly defined data format but gives thepossibility to define the actual format of the table in the comment records.)
The purpose of the present proposal is to extend the "Appendix B" option by
including File 33 formatted data with proper cross-reference to the related EXFOR
subentry, while keeping the existing option of a user-defined table format.
For the File 33 option, I think it is meaningful to allow also the inclusion of the actual
cross section data in File 3 format, for easy processing. Please give your feedback also
on this option (or should it even be obligatory?)
Appended is my draft of a revised "Appendix B", including examples of both the freeformat (taken from LEXFOR) and a new example for File 3+33 formatted data.

(Revised Appendix B of EXFOR Formats Manual)
COVARIANCE DATA FILE FORMAT

Covariance data may be stored on a separate covariance file. This is mandatory ifa) the file is too big to be included conveniently as free text within the EXFOR entry (under
the keyword COVARIANCE); and/orb) the file is in a format which does not fit within columns 12 - 66 available for free text (e.g.
ENDF-6 File 33 format).
The covariance file is named
aaaaasss.cov
with aaaaa being the accesssion number, sss the subentry number of the corresponding
subentry (e.g. 35001002.cov).
There are three record types in the covariance file:• comment records,• data records,• end records.
The actual covariance data can be given either in a free format, defined in the comment records,
or in ENDF-6 File 33 format. In the latter case, the cross section may be included also (in File 3
format) for easy processing.

CINDA Bibliographic System
HISTORY
CINDA2001 was designed to replace the CINDA database which was originally designed in
19581 as a Card Index to Neutron Data. CINDA was adopted in the 1970's by the four
Neutron Data Centers as an international index to the neutron data; the compilation scheme
remained essentially unchanged until 1998.
In the meantime, the Nuclear Reaction Data Network had evolved from the original four centers to a group of thirteen centers involved in
the compilation of nuclear reaction data for incident charged particles and photons, in addition to neutrons. The need for an index thatwould allow the inclusion of all reaction data, and the need to update the format for the year 2000 lead to a complete redesign of thebibliographic system.

The new system is more compatible with EXFOR/CSISRS2, and has adopted many of thesame the codes used in this database, thereby eliminating the need for users of nuclear
reaction data to learn different sets of notation when accessing the bibliographic and data
files.
INTRODUCTIONCINDA2001 is a computerized bibliographic file containing references to information on
nuclear reactions. Included are references to measurements, calculations, evaluations, andreviews of nuclear reaction and other related data. In the case of experimental or evaluateddata, references to the databases where the actual values may be obtained are also included.
Identical copies of this database are maintained by the four core centers in the Nuclear Data
Center Network.3 These master files are updated periodically and exchanged among thecenters. Retrievals from CINDA2001, as well as the experimental and evaluated databases,
are available through the Internet using World Wide Web or by direct access using TCP/IP’s
4
TELNET command.

CINDA was designed by Herbert Goldstein, a professor in the Department Of Applied Physics andEngineering at Columbia University, see Nuclear Development Corporation of America report NDA 2-80
(1958).
For a description, see the "EXFOR exchange Formats Manual", V. McLane, IAEA-NDS-207 (2004)
These core centers are: the US National Nuclear Data Center, the NEA Data Bank, the IAEA Nuclear Data
Section, and the Russian Nuclear Data Center at Obninsk. See Appendix A for complete information on the
Nuclear Reaction Data Centers.

CINDA 2001 Manual

The information in the CINDA2001 Database is obtained from scanning the available
literature, both published and unpublished. Coverage is “complete” for neutron data from1935 to the present. Coverage for charged-particle data is nearly complete from 1980 to thepresent, and less complete before 1980. Coverage for photon-induced data is taken from
Photonuclear Data5 which covers the period 1976 to the present.
This manual is intended to be a complete guide to the indexing of information in the
CINDA2001 system.
CINDA2001 EXCHANGE FORMATThe CINDA2001 exchange file consists of a series of records plus a header record, which
gives information about the attached file. The format of the header record is:Columns

CINDA

Use

READER or EXCHANGE; left-adjusted
Area code, number of exchange for area; rightadjusted.
8-digit right-adjusted integer: year, month, day(YYYYMMDD)
Right-adjusted integer

Files transmitted will be either exchange files or reader files. The format of these files is thesame, but the content will differ slightly; the differences are noted under the sections on theappropriate fields.
Exchange files consist of records produced for transmitting entries from a center’s own areaof responsibility.

Reader files contain records produced by the transmitting center for an area outside its
responsibility and transmitted to the responsible center for addition to its database. After the
update of its database, the records will be transmitted by the responsible center to all othercenters.

Empty lines may be inserted in both types of CINDA files, as well as comment lines for thecompiler or for the loading of the CINDA data base. The comment lines should start with thesymbol '#'.

The remainder of the record must be complete for both reader and exchange format.
TARGET NUCLEUS (Columns 2-8)
The target nucleus is given as 2 three-digit integers (Z and A), both right-adjusted in theirfield, plus an isomeric state code. All legal Z, A codes are found in DANIEL Dictionary 227.
The isomeric state code is blank for a nucleus in the ground state, and consists of themetastable state number for metastable states (e.g. 1, 2… and not M as stated in the
dictionary).
For compound nucleus properties, e.g., resonance parameters, the nucleus entered is thetarget for the reaction(s) analyzed.

For a theoretical work giving systematic trends over many nuclei, the code MNY may be usedin the A field; use Z equal to zero. The code MNY may be used either in place of, or in
addition to, separate entries for the individual nuclei.

Naturally occurring elements

For naturally occurring elements that contain a mixture of isotopes, a zero is entered in the Anumber field. For monoisotopic elements, the Z and A of the isotope are given. For nearlymonisotopic elements, i.e., for elements where the principal isotope is more than 99% of thenatural isotopic mixture, the Z,A of that isotope may be given if the contribution from otherisotopes to the reaction given is negligible.

89Compounds and Mixtures

CINDA 2001 Manual

For compounds and mixtures, a 3-character compound code is given instead of the A number
and is left adjusted in the field. Single element compounds, e.g., molecular hydrogen, should
not be coded as compounds. If information is deduced for a constituent element of acompound or mixture, it should be entered under that element.
The general code zzzCMP, where zzz is the major component of the compound, may be used
if the compound is not given specifically in the dictionary. The name of the compoundshould be given in the comment. If more than one element may be considered a major
component, choose the element with the highest Z number.
For data given for mixed fission products, i.e., an aggregate of those fission products
produced in a given fission reaction, the code FPR is given in place of the A value; use Z
equal to zero.

REACTION (Columns 9-23)
The code for reaction is given as two fields: incident and outgoing. For complete evaluations
covering many reactions, and given over a defined energy range, this field may be left blank.
The incident field contains one of the following:
1. A particle code from DANIEL Dictionary 33 which contains a non-blank character in thethird position of the Allowed Subfield field, e.g., P or HE3.
2.

A chemical symbol and A-number (SS-AAAM) from DANIEL Dictionary 227; for anucleus in a metastable state the code is followed by an M, e.g., CL- 35 or AM-242M.

The outgoing field contains one of the following.
1.

A particle code from DANIEL Dictionary 33 which contains a non-blank character in the
fourth position of the Allowed Subfield field, e.g., P or HE3.

2.

A nuclide code, i.e., chemical symbol and A-number (SS-AAA) taken from DANIEL
Dictionary 227; for a nuclide in the metastable state the code is followed by the code M,e.g., CL- 35 or AM-242M;

3.

A process code taken from DANIEL Dictionary 30, e.g., TOT or EL;

4.

A combination of the above with the codes separated by a “+”.
The order of codes is: particles ordered from lightest to heaviest,8 followed by nuclide
codes ordered from lightest to heaviest, followed by process codes in alphabetical order.
The exception to this rule is: when the order in which the reaction proceeds is given
explicitly, the codes are given in that order.

8

Lightest to heaviest is defined as in order of lightest Z, then in order of A.
90

5.

CINDA 2001 Manual

For complex reactions with many outgoing particles, the code CMPLX may be used in thisfield in place of all other codes.

QUANTITY (Columns 24-27)
The legal quantity codes are given in DANIEL Dictionary 45 (partly from the old dictionary13). These codes are listed in Appendix D. For complete evaluations, covering many
reactions and quantities, this field contains the code EVL. A Quantity code with a ‘$’ sign infront means that the code was inserted automatically by converting EXFOR entries to
CINDA, but without correspondence in Dictionary 236 and/or in dictionary 45.
INSTITUTE (Columns 28-34)
The institute is given as a single integer for the area code followed by the six-character code
consisting of a country code followed by an institute code. These codes are found in
DANIEL Dictionary 3, CINDA Code field.
If more than one institute is involved in the work, the main institute is given. The main
institute is defined as the institute at which the principal investigator resides, or the institute at
which the work was done. Links to the other institutes are given on Institute Cross Reference
Records (work type 9, see Work Type). An entry is made for each institute containing atleast one reference.
BLOCK NUMBER (Columns 35-39)
The block number consists of the area code for the responsible center, followed by a four
digit block number, e.g., L1982. The area codes to be used are those assigned for EXFOR,e.g. area 1 is USA and Canada, area 2 is OECD member countries (excluding USA and
Canada) etc. No area code is allowed (e.g. for old CINDA records, where block number was
already assigned).
The block number is assigned only by the center responsible for the entry. Before blocking
CINDA lines together, compilers must be fully certain that the lines do belong with eachother. The blocks are based on the same isotope (Z, A, and state), reaction, lab andexperiment, based on for example the same people involved in the presented work in thearticles during a limited time period.
SEQUENCE NUMBER (Columns 40-43)
The Sequence Number is a 4-digit, right-adjusted integer denoting the sequence within a
block. It is assigned only by the center responsible for the entry.
HIERARCHY CODE (Column 44)
91

CINDA 2001 Manual

The one-digit Hierarchy code is used to distinguish between different types of records, or todenote the importance of a reference. Valid hierarchy codes are defined in the following
table.
Code

Main publication. Assigned only to a publication known to be the definitive
publication.
Published reference (journal or conference proceeding).
Other major reference, such as, complete laboratory report or a thesis.
Translation for reference with hierarchy 1-3.
Minor reference, such as, a progress report, a meeting abstract, or a private
communication.
EXFOR or Evaluated Data index entry. A reference to an entry in a datalibrary which gives the numerical data referenced in the block.
EXFOR data index line where accession number is not yet assigned, i.e.
EXFOR compilation of the work is still in progress.

Hierarchy codes 0 and/or 6 for EXFOR data:
Column 43
0 or 6
Columns 60-66 4,EXFOR
Columns 67-71 EXFOR Accession number (e.g. 11754)
or 00000, if unassigned, when hierarchy code = 0
Column 72
full stop (.)
Column 73-75 EXFOR Sub-accession number, e.g. 002, 045, etc.
or 000, if unassigned, when hierarchy code = 0

WORK TYPE (Column 45)
The one-character Work Type code gives the type of work referenced, e.g., experimental,
evaluated. For a reference containing more than one type of work, a separate block should beentered for each type, for example, an experimental work in which extensive9 model
calculations were done.
READER CODE (Column 46-47)
A two-character Reader Code may be used, at the discretion of the entering center, to identify
the compiler of the entry. This field may be left blank. A list of current and formerly used
Reader Codes is given in Appendix B.
ENERGY RANGE (Columns 48-61)
By extensive is meant that each work is extensive enough to warrant publication on its own. For example, acomparison of measured angular distributions with optical model calculations is not regarded as fulfilling thiscriterion. This comparison should be noted in the comment for the experimental data.

992

CINDA 2001 Manual

The energy range field consists of two floating-point numbers (2E7.1) which give theminimum and maximum energies for the data referenced. If the data is presented only at one
energy, it is given in the first field; the second field is blank. If an upper limit only is known,
it is given in the second field; the first field is blank.
If only the approximate range is known, only the exponents are entered.
A four-character code is used to define the energy for spectrum-averaged values. A list of alllegal codes is given in Dictionary 48, e.g. MAXW, SPON, THR (see also old CINDA
Readers manual, Part II.9). If the reference covers two or more distinct energy ranges that
may be viewed as separate experiments or calculations, separate entries should be made.
Example: a measurement at thermal energy of Maxwellian-averaged cross section and aseparate measurement over the energy range 5 eV to 6 keV.
If no information on the energy is given, the code NDG (no data given) is used.
For quantities for which an incident energy is meaningless, i.e., nuclear quantities,
spontaneous fission and so on, both fields are left blank.
REFERENCE (Columns 62-90)
The reference consists of three fields: reference type, reference code, and reference date. The
format of the reference field depends on the reference type.
Reference Type (Column 62)

The Reference Type consists of a one-character code which is:either taken from DANIEL Dictionary 4,
or 4 for EXFOR data,or 3 for Evaluated data libraries.
If Reference Type and Reference Code are present, column 61 should contain a comma (,).
Reference Code (Columns 64-84)

In general, references are coded as for EXFOR and use the same dictionaries and codes. See
the EXFOR Manual for coding rules, and Dictionaries 5-7, 207 for document codes.
1. Reference Code for EXFOR data:
columns 64-68 EXFOR
columns 69-73 EXFOR Accession number (e.g. 11754)
or 00000, if unassigned, when hierarchy code = 0
column 74
full stop (.)
column 75-77
EXFOR Sub-accession number
