Data Bank: Enhancing Nuclear Knowledge Preservation and Collaboration

Switzerland recognizes the Data Bank's vital role as a global nuclear reference center, contributing significantly to nuclear knowledge preservation. Main databases like IRPhE, IFPE, SINDBAD, and CCVM provide crucial experimental data. Close collaboration with the Nuclear Science Committee fosters synergies and support for ongoing activities. Suggestions for future improvement include expanding database activities to cover new areas like material testing and multi-scale modeling. Emphasizing the availability and promotion of benchmark tests, such as International Standard Problems in thermal-hydraulics, calls for broader committee collaboration beyond NSC for enhanced effectiveness.

  1. Future of the Data Bank:Comments from SwitzerlandR. Chawla Paris, 10.6.09

  2. Current View • Full satisfaction with Data Bank (DB) as international centre of reference for basic nuclear tools • Major contributions to knowledge preservation • Of particular importance: Databases of experiments, e.g. IRPhE (neutronics), IFPE (fuel behaviour), SINDBAD (shielding) and CCVM (thermal-hydraulics) • Close cooperation between the DB and Nuclear Science Committee, excellent basis for synergies Strong support for continuation of the DB’s activities in their current form

  3. Possible Further Strengthening • Broadening of database activities (documentation of experimental benchmarks) into other areas such as materials testing and multi-scale modeling • Increased availability and promotion of benchmark tests documented in the past, e.g. International Standard Problems (ISPs) in thermal-hydraulics (CSNI) - Implies closer collaboration with committees other than just NSC
