Brief report on CEC-Brussels activities on LWR research safety relevant to IAEA technical committee (8-12 June 1987)

The LWR Safety Research Index has been published by CEC for many years as a compilation of information on research projects relating to LWR nuclear safety. Since 1981, it has been published biannually. The number of contributions has steadily increased and reached the level of 1700 pages, in which more than 600 project descriptions have been collected from 10 Member countries. In parallel to this activity, the OECD/NEA has also compiled a similar Index for its Member countries alternating with the CEC publication. Furthermore, in 1982 the IAEA started a trial collection of information on limited areas of particular interest and has obtained a number of contributions from its Member countries including non-OECD countries. Computerisation of the Index has been discussed in some form at the CEC-XII/D/1 since 1974 in the CSNI/NEA and IAEA
