Application technique of data free way on the basic reactor materials

National Research Institute for Metals (NRIM), Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI), Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC), and Japan Science and Technology Promotion Corporation (JST) construct each own data base on each advantageous field to develop mutually and cooperatively a system called data free way and applicable mutually for four each organization by connecting them with a network to construct a huge dispersion type data base system. In 1998 fiscal year, it was conducted by these four organization cooperatively to fill up the system applicable for function showing data content and data retrieving function by using internet. In NRIM, as a result to input the data on mechanical properties of irradiated SUS 316 stainless steel, a new information could be obtained. In order to fill up the data base for reactor materials, a use interface for the data base was developed. In addition, a system capable to use a program to estimate activation due to nuclear reaction when the materials was exposed by neutron radiation through internet was begun to develop. (G.K.)
