Nucleonica is a nuclear science web portal created by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.[2][3] which was later spun off to the company Nucleonica GmbH in March 2011.[1]

History

[edit]

The company Nucleonica GmbH was founded by Dr. Joseph Magill in 2011 as a spin-off from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, Institute for Transuranium Elements.[1][better source needed] In addition to providing user friendly access to nuclear data, the main focus of Nucleonica is to provide professionals in the nuclear industry with a suite of validated scientific applications for everyday calculations.

The portal is also suitable for education and training in the nuclear field,[4] both for technicians and degree-level and programmes in Nuclear engineering technology.[5][6]

Nucleonica GmbH also took responsibility for the management and development of the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart print and online versions.[1]

User access

[edit]

Users can register for free access to Nucleonica. This free access gives the user access to most applications but is restricted to a limited number of nuclides. For full access to all nuclides and applications, the user can upgrade to Premium for which there is an annual user charge.[citation needed]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ This is the date the spin-off company took over, other sources seem to indicate the portal was in use earlier
