ND2022- International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology
ND2022 is the latest in a series of conferences held every three years since 1978, most recently in Bruges, Belgium (ND2016) and Beijing, China (ND2019). This conference series brings together international experts involved in generating and using nuclear data for a week of presentations and in-depth discussion. One of the important goals of the conference is to represent the needs of a wide range of nuclear data users, ranging from reactor designers and criticality safety experts to users in basic sciences, health physics, and space exploration.
Conference topics include:
- Nuclear reaction measurements,
- Nuclear mass, structure and decay measurements,
- Theoretical nuclear physics,
- Special focus on fission including theory, measurements and modeling,
- Development of new experimental capabilities and facilities,
- Generating, improving and validating evaluated nuclear data libraries,
- Processing nuclear data to prepare evaluated libraries for use in application codes,
- Improving data formats, tools and quality assurance,
- Uncertainty quantification and covariances,
- Applying machine learning to the nuclear data pipeline, and
- Applications of nuclear data to fields ranging from reactor design to medical isotope production to nuclear non-proliferation to space exploration and stellar nucleosynthesis.
ND2022 was organized by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The conference was planned for July 24-29, 2022 in Sacramento, California, but due to uncertainties related to planning an event during the Covid19 pandemic it was converted to a virtual event using Gather.Town and Zoom.
