NUCLEAR DATA

The NNSA's Nonproliferation Stewardship Program (NSP) ensures foundational technical competencies at the National Laboratories are sustained and available to support nonproliferation missions. Nuclear data is one of these foundational competencies, and the Nuclear Data Program supports NSP efforts through infrastructure and workforce development at LBNL, UC Berkeley, and partner institutions... High quality nuclear data provides tremendous benefit to society by improving national security, helping in the design of advanced, safe nuclear power and through the production of radionuclides for the treatment and diagnosis of illness. However, the role of nuclear data in these pursuits is often "hidden" inside of topic-specific modeling. As a US Nuclear Data Program center located at a world-class University and nuclear engineering department, the lab that gave birth to the nuclear age and next to a premier national security lab (LLNL) the BAND Program is well-poised to bring together the..
