A Consideration on direction of nuclear data as a database

Fukahori, Tokio  

Requirements for databases are verification, validation and completeness. In the case of nuclear data, the verification stands on accuracy with uncertainty coming from differential experimental data. The validation does on benchmark tests with integral experimental data. The completeness is also necessary for targets, incident energy, reaction channels, etc. In this presentation, the direction of nuclear data as a database is considered. The future direction of nuclear data is introduced philosophically as well as history of nuclear data development, perspective of nuclear data, and requests.
