The International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) has established the International Database on Irradiated
Nuclear Graphite Properties in collaboration with interested IAEA Member States
and organizations in Member States recognized by those States. The database consists
of data on the physical, chemical, mechanical and other relevant properties of
irradiated nuclear graphites contributed by Member States and
organizations from the Graphite Database Members.
The operation of the International Database on Irradiated Nuclear Graphite Properties
is financed by voluntary contributions from the Graphite Database Members, Associate
Members and Database Sponsors and is maintained
by the Atomic and Molecular Data Unit
in the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications.

Phase 2 Programme
The process of gathering data on the
properties of irradiated graphites will be completed in summer 2009.
This will end Phase 1 Programme. It is proposed to extend the project beyond
summer 2009 to fulfil remaining needs of Members States (Phase 2 Programme).
Phase 2 mission statement is available in Appendix A
of the
Steering Committee March 2009 Meeting Report
Phase 2 Summary Document
Quality Assurance
Consideration has been given to the process of Quality Assurance applied
to data entered into current versions of the on Irradiated Nuclear Graphite Properties.
The processes employed in the data transcription and evaluation are described
in the
INDC-NDS-500
report

Purpose and Objectives of the Graphite Database
The purpose of the Graphite Database is to preserve and further expand the existing
scientific information on the physical, chemical, mechanical and other properties of
irradiated graphites (including zero dose) relevant for nuclear power, nuclear safety and
other nuclear science and technology applications, and to create a comprehensive
international source for such information, including reference data.
The Graphite Database is intended to:
- facilitate the development of national and international programmes on graphite
moderated reactors and fusion technologies
- assist the safety authorities in the assessment of safety aspects of graphite moderated
reactors, including the safety aspects of reactor decommissioning
- serve as a comprehensive source of scientific information for a broad range of material
science applications, including the non-nuclear technology areas.
