[en] This journal includes all formal reports in the NUREG series prepared by the NRC staff and contractors; proceedings of conferences and workshops; as well as international agreement reports. The entries in this compilation are indexed for access by title and abstract, secondary report number, personal author, subject, NRC organization for staff and international agreements, contractor, international organization, and licensed facility

[en] Production of the Proceedings of the 1996 DPB/DPF Summer Study in High-Energy Physics built on the methods, lessons, and technology of the production process used for the Proceedings of the 1995 Particle Accelerator Conference (PAC95). The Snowmass proceedings project started with a much smaller budget and a shorter production schedule, resulting in a much more ambitious plan. The goal was, as for PAC95, to produce both a paper and a CD version of the proceedings. This time, the goal was to complete the project in only 6 months, using half of a staff person from the SLAC Technical Publications Department (responsible for technical design and implementation as well as project management), along with 6 months of a full-time temporary employee to answer the phone and coordinate author support. The conference editors and the author decided on a strategy using the World Wide Web for submission and quality assurance testing. The resulting procedure allowed authors to check the quality of their own PDF files, prevented random browsing of papers before publication of the proceedings, and required minimal human intervention (though they easily could have used a few more bodies manning the help lines). To this end, they set up a Power Macintosh running FileMaker Pro 3.0 (a relational database application), WebSTAR (Macintosh Web server software), WEB/FM (CGI package for FileMaker Pro/WebSTAR interface), and NetPresenz (Macintosh ftp server) and created a gatewayed mailing list and newsgroup for authors needing technical support

[en] Changes in the world and United Kingdom markets for nuclear fuels during the 1990s have prompted British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) to maximise cost effectiveness in its Chemical and Metallurgical Services department. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) was introduced in order to keep records of analytical techniques and equipment up to date by coordinating various computer systems. Wherever possible automated systems have replaced traditional, labour intensive techniques. So successful has the LIMS system been, that the team now hopes to expand into expert systems. (UK)

[en] For the problem teaching purpose the computer-integrated environments are developed for simulation of electronic circuits. CIE for study of typical analog electronic circuits called STUDENT's MODULE are described. Simulation of electronic circuits carried out by means of the analog simulator PSPICE

[en] This is a technical bibliography listing about 150 publications of the years 1981 to 1993 in the complex field of the nuclear fuel cycle; this is an extract of the available publications in this field. This documentation focuses on metallurgy

[en] A brief introduction to the INTERNET and its benefits for those involved in nuclear medical imaging is given. In Australia, depending on the type of institution/department involved, connection to the INTERNET may be obtained via the Australian Academic and Research Network or through a commercial provider. The recent proliferation of WWW servers has also resulted in multiple medical imaging databases and teaching resources becoming available to the user. Some Newsgroups and WWW addresses related to radiology are provided. 3 refs

[en] CINDA, the Computer Index of Neutron Data, contains bibliographic references to measurements, calculations, reviews and evaluations of neutron cross-sections and other microscopic neutron data. The present issue, CINDA-A (1935-1987) vol. 5, is an index to all work on neutron nuclear data from the time of the discovery of the neutron until the end of 1987, for the elements 84 Polonium to 105 Hahnium. It is supplemented by the current issue, CINDA 90, which covers the references from 1988 to 1990

[en] CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory) is a powerful resource which combines the best features of both online and print access to the literature. In 1988 the Medical Library in Trondheim, Norway installed the Medline database from Dialog on CD-ROM for library users, and used the opportunity to launch a study to evaluate the new medium in the library (use, users, costs, etc.). The results are based on 651 questionnaires answered by 185 different users. Totally they searched for more than 1200 different subjects during the first six months that the library subscribed to the CD-ROM-disks. All users said that the system was easy to learn and to use (even 50% who were not familar with a PC). The study shows that retrieving information from CD-ROM databases is an easy and popular way to keep updated in a particular field. 8 refs

[en] This compilation summarizes significant enforcement actions that have been resolved during the period (July--December 1997) and includes copies of Orders and Notices of Violation sent by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to individuals with respect to these enforcement actions. It is anticipated that the information in this publication will be widely disseminated to managers and employees engaged in activities licensed by the NRC. The Commission believes this information may be useful to licensees in making employment decisions
