The European‐American Nuclear‐Data Committee

MAY 01, 1967

Numbers needed for fission power development can not be measured by any one country as fast as they are wanted. But the coöperation arranged by this 16‐man group has enabled 21 nations to improve measurement, collection, storage and dissemination of information. Under their cognizance come measurement, facility sharing, personnel exchange and arrangement of symposia.

NUCLEAR DATA REQUIRED for today’s atomic‐power programs are largely gathered, stored and disseminated under the supervision of the European‐American Nuclear‐Data Committee, a group of 16 individual scientists who represent 21 nations and two international organizations. Formed in 1959 under the auspices of the European Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organization for Economic Coöperation and Development, the committee has distinguished itself by leadership in program planning and by effective coördination of several national nuclear‐data activities.
