Proposal for Establishing a European Nuclear Data Program
The proposal discusses the need for a sustainable framework to coordinate European nuclear data research efforts. It highlights the role of the APRENDE project in the short term and suggests the establishment of a European Nuclear Data Program in the long run to ensure continuity, coordination, and development in the field of nuclear data in Europe.

Conclusions of the deliverable Conclusions of the deliverable The goal of this Task was to explore possible frameworks for the coordination of the European Nuclear Data community that would ensure the continuity and the sustainability of the major efforts made over all the years in the field of nuclear data and guarantee that Europe remains a key player in a context of renewal of nuclear energy and development of non-energy applications. In the short term, the APRENDE project, if accepted, will partially play this role. On the longer term, it does not seem that a solution can be found within the EURATOM framework program alone. A good example for Europe to follow would be that of the US Nuclear Data Program, which gathers all the national funding agencies that need Nuclear Data. Therefore, it is proposed to create a European Nuclear Data Program that would: Bring together ND providers, database managers and stakeholders from all the domains needing ND to discuss current needs Ensure the coordination of the work done by the ND community in Europe, identifying challenges and opportunities, and guarantying that ND end up in nuclear databases Support key infrastructures for the production of ND Ensure that a sufficient workforce is available, in particular for evaluation Invest in education and training to bring new people into the nuclear data community Ensure the liaison with international partners and agencies (NEA, IAEA) This program could be co-funded by the Member States and EC through either a special program or contributions from Work Programs concerned, EURATOM Fission and Fusion, Space, Health, Security, etc This program could be hosted by the JRC. 4
