NL Nuclear – Some history
 1955 Reactor Centre of the Netherlands (RCN), Petten, NL  1976 Energy
Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN)
o High Flux Reactor (1958 – present): 45 MWth MTR (owned by the EC)
o Low Flux Reactor (1960 – present): 30 kW Argonaut
 1957 KEMA Nuclear Physics Laboratory, Arnhem, NL
o KEMA Suspension Test Reactor (1974 – 1977)
 1958 Reactor Institute Delft (Delft University), NL  196x IRI 2005 RID
o Hoger Onderwijs Reactor (1963– present): 2 MWth MTR
 1963 – 1980 BARN reactor at Agricultural University of Wageningen
 1963 – 1969 STEK/KRITO, Petten, NL
 1969 – 1973 ATHENE reactor at Eindhoven University
 October 1998 Merger of nuclear departments of ECN and KEMA into NRG –
remaining parts of ECN and KEMA non-nuclear…
Possible sources of NCL for INIS…

INIS liaison NL - past
 Hillebrand Verkroost was an active INIS ILO until some time
after the formation of NRG:
o CL/NCL from ECN and other NL sources (bibliographic
records)
 After that the INIS ILO was transferred to NRG; NCL
dataflow to INIS effectively stopped not long afterwards
 Large number of bibliographic records going directly from
NL-based publisher Elsevier to INIS (> 20000 per year)
 Collection of legacy “nuclear” reports from “Petten”:
o 249 RCN external reports 1960 - 1976
o 225 ECN external reports 1976 - 1989
Inserted into INIS? At least partly…

INIS liaison NL - present
 Large number of bibliographic records still going directly from NL-based
publisher Elsevier to INIS (> 20000 per year)
 “Gap” in NCL from NL (not only NRG!) between ~2000 and present
 NL INIS centre is effectively 1 person, part-time: JCK since August 2008
 In the last 10 years NRG produced approx. 500 reports per year
 An unknown fraction (TBD) of these should have been inserted into INIS:
to be done(?)
 The question is: what to do?
 INIS-related tasks:
o
o
o
o
Organise national INIS centre… (see above)
Input of information (!)
Support access to information
Promote INIS
 First restart the flow of information on NCL from NRG to INIS:
o Legacy ECN/NRG “nuclear” reports (already in INIS?) (A problem…)
o NRG non-confidential reports from ~2000 till present (THE
problem…)
o New NRG non-confidential reports (Hillebrand Verkroost can help with
this!)

INIS liaison NL – the way forward
 NRG is in the process of installing an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS)
 NCL from NRG to INIS should be OK
o Document (NRG reports) and metadata should be inserted in such a way (by the
authors!) that export to INIS will be trivial (XML format; bibliographic data + full text): to
be inserted in EDMS definiton phase
o Not in place yet (end of 2011?)
o Interaction/Integration with MET/CAI would be helpful
 NL INIS centre will probably stay a 1-person, part-time operation 
o Other NL sources of NCL should be convinced to do the same (with NRG as a good
example )
o Still no 100% coverage for other “nuclear” literature:
What to do?
o Data from publishers…
 Take up the other INIS-related tasks (previous slide)
o INIS Widget on NRG website/portal  NRG Communications department
 Can the INIS Secretariat help with a:
o solution for RCN/ECN legacy reports???
o solution for NRG reports from ~2000 until present???
o solution for legacy reports from other NL organisations (to be identified)???
