[en] Short communication

[en] A list is given of reports, journal articles (published or submitted for publication), theses, conference papers, patents, and reports for internal use, published in 1989 by staff members of the Nuclear Research Institute in Rez, Czechoslovakia. (P.A.)

[en] After 25 years of its existence, UJV is mainly involved in research into nuclear power and technology. This may be classified into nuclear power research, the use of ionizing radiation and prognostic, concept, coordination and information activities. In addition, the Institute manufactures and supplies radionuclides, radiopharmaceuticals and Ge semiconductor detectors. Spheres are indicated (studies, applied research) in which the Institute should engage itself in future. (M.S.)

[en] The system is described of using a computer for making the list of periodicals stored in the library of the Nuclear Research Institute and in the libraries of three other institutes which serve the Czechoslovak Atomic Energy Commission. The use of computer-produced lists is labour-saving and allows processing additional information from inputted data without staff increases. (L.O.)

[en] The Nuclear Research Centre processes methodological analytical studies for the development of long-term concepts of the development of the nuclear energy complex. The information services of the Centre are secured by the department of technical and economic information which consists of three main groups which have their separate tasks: the library, the documentation unit and the press unit. The use of the services of INIS, CA-Search and the DERWENT data base are described. (M.D.)

[en] The tasks are described of the branch standardization centre. The principal information sources are listed in the field of technical standardization as are the methods of the processing and use of these sources for the compilation of technical standards. (M.D.)

[en] In 1981, UVVVR conducted a poll among users of its radioactivity standards whose aim was to acquire information on the structure of the users, on the requirements for standards for 1982 to 1985, on the way users use the standards, and on the users' views on the accuracy of the standards, their assortment, etc. A total of 270 forms were despatched and 104 forms suitable for evaluation returned. The evaluation is shown of answers to the individual questions in the form; the text is appended. A number of conclusions were drawn depicting the current situation in the use of the standards and also showing where improvement by UVVVR is necessary. (A.K.)

[en] The revision was completed in 1980 by the approval of the following revised Czechoslovak State Standards (CSN) valid for the Czechoslovak national economy: CSN 40 4411 ER Radioactive Calibration Standards with effect from 1.6.1981, CSN 40 4412 EZ Radioactive Calibration Standards with effect from 1.9.1981, CSN 40 4416 EM Radioactive Calibration Standards with effect from 1.9.1981. The ER standards have an exactly defined specific activity and the weight of the aqueous solution of the soluble radioactive preparation for the spectrum of 59 radionuclides (an extension by 8 radionuclides as against the previous Standard), the EZ and EM standards have an exactly defined areal activity, in both cases for 7 different radionuclides and the natural mixture of uranium isotopes (an extension by ²⁴¹Am as against the previous Standard). The set of the existing Czechoslovak State Standards governing radioactive calibration standards was extended by two technical specifications, viz., CSN 40 4425 EFE Radioactive Calibration Standards with effect from 1.6.1981 and CSN 40 4424 EN Radioactive Calibration Standards with effect from 1.9.1981. The EFE standards are prepared for ¹⁰⁹Cd and ¹³⁹Ce and have an exactly defined electron flux, the EN standards consist of a mixture of ²⁴¹Am and Be powder and have an exactly defined neutron flux. Part of the revision also was the conversion of the nuclear transformation quantities to SI units. (H.S.)

[en] Using an EC 1040 computer, the Institute of Nuclear Research processed the list of journals in the reference library of the Czechoslovak Atomic Energy Commission including journals acquired by all institutions subordinated to the Czechoslovak Atomic Energy Commission, ie., UJV Rez (Nuclear Research Institute), Nuclear Information Centre Prague, UVVVR Prague (Institute for Research, Production and Application of Radioisotopes) and Institute of Radioecology and Applied Nuclear Techniques Kosice. Computer processing allowed obtaining files arranged by libraries, subject matters of the journals, countries of publication, and journal titles. Automated processing is being prepared of publications by UJV staff. The preparation is described of data for computer processing of both files and specimens are shown of printouts. (Ha)
