The UIC maintains a reference library of a few thousand volumes and papers. It responds to a steady flow of requests for information, particularly from teachers and students. The Centre maintains close contact with sources of information in Australia and overseas which are considered reliable and up to date. It is solely concerned with the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, primarily its role in helping to meet world energy needs. Information is made available to anyone requesting it, particularly politicians, financial analysts, media, and schools.
Enquiries are welcome.
This is supplemented by press stories, media releases and magazine articles. Regarding more substantial information, UIC has a standing order for all relevant OECD and IAEA publications, including annual statistical material as well as publications reviewing the state of affairs in aspects of nuclear energy. Uranium Institute market reports and the Nuclear Engineering handbook are other prime references. All major references or sources are quoted. The Centre also subscribes to over 40 journals, some of which provide authoritative articles and papers.
