The academic subject of "nuclear data" is not learned in universities, and researchers on nuclear data have been supplied from the fields of nuclear physics and/or nuclear engineering. The production of nuclear data file, which is one of the most fundamental databases for research and development of nuclear energy applications, cannot obtain enough human resources. Japanese Nuclear Data Committee, namely "Sigma" Committee, considering to solve this issue continuously, for example, performing tutorial session in nuclear data symposium. However, it is still far from exhaustive point of view. This report introduces strategic plan of fostering human resources and production of a suitable textbook for nuclear data.
