TRANSCRIPT
Preparatory Meetings
• 1974 – The International Fusion Research Council (IFRC), in a meeting in Tokyo, asks the
IAEA to coordinate and get actively involved in the collection of atomic data for fusion
• 1976 – The IAEA convenes an Advisory Group meeting at Culham Laboratory, UK in
November. 88 scientists from 18 countries attend.

Member Nations of the IAEA Data Center Network

Principal Topics and Significant Accomplishments
1977‐1980:
Classification schemes for data
Debates on compiling evaluated, recommended and non‐
evaluated data
Start of the “International Bulletin on A + M Data for
Fusion”
(first quarterly, later annually)
1980s:
First issue of CIAMDA – An annotated bibliography on
collision data going back to 1950
Consideration of EXFOR for data exchange
Adoption of ALADDIN (“A labelled atomic data interface”) in
1988 as a computerized scheme for data exchange
Principal Topics and Significant Accomplishments, cont.
1990s:
ALADDIN successful, was added to name
Addition of new core members: China, Germany (surface data),
South Korea
2000s:
New demands on data compilations by ITER and its expected use of
heavy elements, like W (W has 74 electrons and thus there are data
needs for 74 species)
General internet search engine “GENIE”
developed, providing a link
to all major atomic data compilations
XML (eXtendible Markup Language) is used as the basis for the
development of a new data exchange format, called AMDML
