Independently developed by China, the latest version of the Chinese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library -- the CENDL-3.2 -- was released on June 12, according to experts.The library is deemed as an important achievement in the field of nuclear data research in China.

Experts said the release of CENDL-3.2 is of great significance to enable research and development in fundamental nuclear physics, nuclear energy, nuclear medicine, isotope production and other nuclear applications -- as well as to further promote the international cooperation of nuclear data evaluation, with more contributions from China.

The joint efforts to develop the library was coordinated by the China Nuclear Data Center at the China Institute of Atomic Energy, in collaboration of more than 10 domestic universities and institutes in the framework of China Nuclear Data Coordination Network, such as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nankai University, Northwest University, etc., as well as various institutes of the Chinese Academy of Science and the China Academy of Engineering Physics.

As an important enabler for nuclear S&E, evaluated nuclear data library is a bridge connecting fundamental research and various nuclear technology applications. It is expected to play an important role in the fields of national economic construction and scientific research, according to experts.
