Description

The world's leading information system for peaceful uses of nuclear sciences and technology is changing. Set up 35 years ago, the International Nuclear Information System (INIS) is becoming the foundation for the preservation and exchange of knowledge in the fields of nuclear science and technology. In 2005, INIS is celebrating its 35th anniversary of continuous successful international cooperation. A system focused on fulfilling user's needs, on bringing benefits to all, and that facilitates the transfer of nuclear knowledge, supported by the IAEA, is a system that still has a lot to offer to support the future peaceful uses of nuclear sciences and technology. As nuclear power and nuclear-related activities are permanently shifting in various countries, the worldwide exchange of information in these fields, as part of nuclear knowledge preservation, becomes even more important today than in the past. INIS is the reliable reservoir of nuclear knowledge for future generations
