NEA Data Bank Nuclear Data Services: NRDC

The NEA Data Bank provides nuclear data services as part of the Nuclear Reaction Data Centres Network (NRDC). This is a world-wide co-operation of nuclear data centres, under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
More information about the NRDC and recent status of EXFOR compilations can be found on www-nds.iaea.org/nrdc/

compile experimental nuclear data and bibliographic information;
collect evaluated nuclear data;
exchange nuclear data of all types with other data centres;
promote the development of special purpose evaluated data files;
develip common formats for computerised exchange of nuclear data;
co-ordinate the development of computer software for managing and disseminating nuclear data;
document current and future data needs in order to be able to meet changing user demands.

The NEA maintains and offers access to a number of databases containing:

experimental neutron and charged particle induced reaction data (EXFOR);
evaluated neutron reaction data (EVA);
evaluated nuclear structure data (ENSDF, NUDAT);
bibliographic data references (NSR, CINDA).

The NRDC includes two types of data centres:

Core centres provide co-ordinated, worldwide customer services covering the entire range of nuclear data services. Data compiled and collected at these centres is exchanged on a regular basis and therefore is identical in content (to within a few weeks);
Specialised centres provide an essential complement to the core centres by assuming responsibility for the collection and dissemination of data of a specialised type or application. These centres do not normally provide the entire range of services offered by the core centres.
