Integrated, Automated, and Reproducible Nuclear Data Processing at the NEA

Abstract

Ensuring data preservation is a top priority for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) Data Bank. Within this context, “preserving data” encompasses activities such as verifying, processing, sharing, improving, and storing the data. The NEA aims to automate these processes to the greatest extent possible, with the goal of providing the JEFF community with reproducible, high-quality data. To achieve this, the Data Bank has chosen to utilize GitLab, a web-based distributed Version Control System that facilitates the collaboration of different users. The author will present the current progress of the NEA pipeline, an ongoing collaborative initiative aimed at standardizing the processing, verification, and validation of nuclear data.
