Overview of OECD/NEA and contribution of Japan, 5; Nuclear Science Committee and the Data Bank

Tsuda, Shuichi  ; Suyama, Kenya*

Series of articles have been posted to Journal of the Atomic Energy Society of Japan (ATOMO) by Japanese secretaries working in Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to share the recent information. The Division of Nuclear Science has been playing an important role to provide a place for exchanging information about nuclear physics and nuclear data, recently about fuels and materials as well, and the author had been working in the Division as a secretariat for three years since September 2017. The Data bank is in charge of management and distribution of databases developed in NEA, and has been strengthening the user support system and cooperation with other NEA committees. This paper will report the recent activities related to Nuclear Science and the Data bank, and hopefully also provide information for further deepening relations between NEA and the Japanese participants by introducing their contributions.
