Abstract

The Radiation Safety Information Computational Center (RSICC) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency Data Bank (NEADB) work together to acquire sets of computer codes, nuclear data, and integral experiments relevant to shielding and dosimetry applications for fission, fusion, and accelerator applications. To keep up with advances in computing technology, international researchers continue to develop nuclear software. Collection centers like RSICC and NEADB serve the community and play a role in advancing nuclear science and technology research.
