Extends FENDL-2.1 toward higher energies, with inclusion of incident charged particles and covariance data Maintain and develop bibliographical (AMBDAS) and numerical (ALADDIN) databases for atomic and molecular properties NDS - Fusion Activities: Key US Partners: NIST (spectroscopy and nuclear standards), Oak Ridge CFADC (Controlled Fusion Atomic Data Center), Brookhaven (Nuclear Data Center)

Nuclear Fusion Journal IAEA provides the forum, it owns and runs the journal. Gives assurance of impartiality and excellence of peer review Reports on status to IFRC Editorial Board drive direction. Separate from the IAEA Content from contributors worldwide No IAEA budget allocated Revenues from subscriptions and page charges cover costs Contact: S. Le Masurier

Fusion Activities in cooperation with other groups within the IAEA Materials research in Physics Section: Fusion expert + 2 Material experts (R. Kamendje, A. Zeman, D. Ridikas) Physics Section and Nuclear Spectrometry and Applications Laboratory: Common course on Plasma Physics and Spectrometry Use of reactor knowledge in IAEA: Cooperation with nuclear fuel cycle and materials technologies (NEFW, V. Inozemtsev) and reactor development (INPRO, NENP) Use of safety knowledge in IAEA: Cooperation with Nuclear Safety group (NSNI)

Cooperation with ITER ITER-IAEA Technical Meeting on Analysis of ITER Materials and Technologies, 23– 25 November 2010, Principality of Monaco Joint ITER-IAEA-ICTP Advanced Workshop on Fusion and Plasma Physics, 3 14 October 2011, ICTP, Trieste, Italy

Short to medium term goal Strong emphasis on substantive achievements and practical applications of plasma physics and fusion with the goal to support the next steps in fusion research in developed and developing countries. Magnetic Fusion (networks, applications, training, materials development, safety and security) Inertial Fusion (basic support, coordinated research projects) Plasma Physics (schools, coordinated research projects)
