B (Berkner)

Dave Brown, Mike Herman, Ramon Arcilla

Nuclear Data Week at BNL traditionally consists of the CSWEG, USNDP and NDAG meetings. The 2014 CSEWG meeting will focus on the CIELO project and its five materials (16-O, 56-Fe, 235,238-U, and 239-Pu). The USNDP meeting will include discussion of the recommendations resulting from the DOE-SC mandated review of the US Nuclear Data Program in July 2014. The NDAG meeting will be the first one chaired by a newly elected Chairman. Please also note that the meeting of WPEC Subgroup 38  will be held at BNL Bldg. 817 from October 29-31, 2014, the week prior to the official Nuclear Data Week. This Subgroup was formed to develop a modernized nuclear data format structure.
