A data base for reactor physics experiments at KUCA, 1

A data base of the experiment done at the Critical Assembly of Kyoto University(KUCA) was constructed both on personal computers and a main frame. A retrieval data base based on each experiment serve as the key data base. The critical experiment data, geometries of the core configuration or fuel elements, and the various numeric data are referred after the results of the retrieval. The personal computer program for this data base is made using BASIC language and the whole system consist of the retrieval data base and the graphic data. The construction of the critical experiment data is now in progress. The data base system can be supplied to the KUCA users with floppy disks. A universal information retrieval system, FAIRS is prepared at the Data Processing Center Kyoto University. By using this system, the retrieval data base of the experiment was constructed. The image information such as core configuration and fuel elements are stored by using ELF system which can be linked to the FAIRS. The data base on FAIRS can be referred from each university through an online network. However, ELF is a closed service within Kyoto University at present. (author)
