INDC(SEC)-46/U+R+F+SIN DC INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR DATA ...

I.ii
request file is provided by officially constituted bodies in
the Member States through the four regional Neutron Data
Centers 1 . This issue of WRENDA is published by the IAEA on
behalf of the four Neutron Data Centers.
Concurrently with the transfer of responsibility for
the neutron data request file from the NEA to the IAEA, the
Nuclear Data Section (NDS) had developed international
nuclear data request lists for technologies related to nuclear
safeguards and to controlled fusion. It was expedient to
develop the new WRENDA system to accommodate data requests
for all applications.
An immediate consequence of the expanded scope was that
the new WRENDA system was designed to accommodate requests for
data related to other nuclear processes as well as to neutroninduced
reactions. Also concurrently with the development of
the WRENDA system it was agreed that data requests related
to fusion, safeguards and other applications should be handled
through the regional data centers.
Upon recommendation of the INDC, the international nuclear
data request lists for fission-reactor, fusion-reactor and
nuclear safeguards development have been published for the first
time as a single document in this issue of WRENDA. The most
recently preceding separate publications of the individual
lists are identified in the following table:
Fission Reactors INDC(SEC)-38 April 1974
Fusion Reactors INDC(NDS)-57 December 1973
Safeguards INDC(NDS)-50 March 1973
