Nuclear Data
The Nuclear Data subprogram collects, evaluates, and disseminates nuclear data with its support of the U.S. Nuclear Data Program and the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC). This process combines historical and modern experiments, theory, and modeling to publish best values for nuclear properties such as cross sections and decay data. The extensive nuclear databases produced by this effort are an international resource consisting of carefully organized scientific information gathered over 50 years of low-energy nuclear physics research worldwide. The Nuclear Data subprogram is multi-disciplinary with applications to energy, defense, space, and medicine. Nuclear data underlies modeling and simulation software in nuclear applications so it is key for ensuring results are accurate. Working groups have been established among researchers, as well as federal programs, to help coordinate, prioritize, and fund research efforts to improve nuclear data in basic science and applied nuclear technologies.
