IAEA Member States' Access to the OECD/NEA Data Bank

Following the reinstatement of a Memorandum of Agreement between the IAEA and the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/NEA) related to the provision of services of the OECD/NEA Data Bank, IAEA Member States are advised of the following:

• The OECD/NEA Data Bank has recommenced distribution of nuclear computer codes and processed nuclear data libraries (OECD/NEA Data Bank codes) to eligible IAEA Member States that are neither OECD/NEA nor OECD members, upon request. Any existing service provided to OECD/NEA Data Bank participating countries remains unchanged;
• The service is provided through the OECD/NEA Data Bank and is applicable to all OECD/NEA Data Bank codes with the exception of those originating from the Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States of America; for the provision of RSICC codes with package references starting with CCC, DLC, or PSR, IAEA Member States are advised to contact RSICC directly; and
• Guidelines on how to request OECD/NEA Data Bank codes, as well as on how to appoint OECD/NEA Data Bank liaison officers, are available on the website of the IAEA’s Department of Nuclear Energy, and on the OECD/NEA Data Bank - Computer Program Service website.

Requests for additional information should be sent to the International Nuclear Information System Secretariat.
