Experimental Data - The EXFOR database contains experimental data from neutron and charged particle induced reactions. It is maintained by the international network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC), which includes the NEA Data Bank. Data recently published in peer-reviewed journals have been compiled in the following EXFOR entries (this list is limited to new entries from the NEA Data Bank and does not show all recent updates to EXFOR).

Evaluated Data - The Joint Evaluated Fission and Fusion (JEFF) project is a collaborative effort among NEA Data Bank participating countries to develop a reference nuclear data library for use in different energy applications. The JEFF Reports series describe the evaluation and validation of the JEF(F) files from the first version to the latest release (JEFF-3.1.1). The complete collection of JEFF Reports is available on-line and on CD-ROM.
The Working Party on international nuclear data Evaluation Co-operation (WPEC) brings together the world's major evaluation projects in a framework that facilitates the exchange of information and the establishment of co-operative activities within subgroups. The outcome is published in the WPEC Reports series, which are available on-line and on CD-ROM. New subgroups have been recently launched to solve the following issues: Meeting nuclear data needs for advanced reactor systems (Sg31), Evaluation of Pu-239 in the resonance region (Sg34), Scattering angular distribution in the fast energy range (Sg35), and Usage of experimental data for evaluation in the resolved resonance region (Sg36).
Software - The JANIS software is developed by the NEA Data Bank to facilitate the visualisation and manipulation of nuclear data. The new version of the software, JANIS 3.2, allows users to access all major evaluated data libraries, including the latest releases: JENDL-4.0, RUSFOND-2010, CENDL-3.1, TENDL-2009, JEFF-3.1.1, and implements new features to display data uncertainty and their correlation. JANIS can be launched on-line and is also available for download. A DVD version of JANIS 3.2 and its main databases is also available on request and for download.

The 2010 edition of the International Reactor Physics Experiments Handbook (IRPhE) was released in June. You may request a DVD by accessing the IRPhE website: http://irphep.inl.gov/handbook/hbrequest.shtml

Note for users of DVDs sent out by the NEA Data Bank:
The CD-ROM and DVD robot used at the NEA Data Bank to produce copies of the information it distributes has been upgraded. DVDs are produced for large packages with dual layers. The result of this upgrade and modification is that compatibility problems might arise with operating systems and/or DVD-readers older than 12 years, i.e. released before 1997. Users experiencing problems with old DVD readers should either request information on CD-ROM or upgrade their readers.
Export control and license forms
Users are requested to download the latest versions when making requests as these forms are regularly updated at www.oecd-nea.org/dbprog/RSICC.PDF
For more details see the daily updated list at www.oecd-nea.org/tools/abstract/new.
Class sizes are limited and courses may be cancelled if minimum enrollment is not obtained one month prior to course. Course fees are refundable up to one month before each class. After one month, course fees will not be refunded.
