Seventy-five years of nuclear criticality safety documents - A bibliography, part II - Links to full-text documents
- Nuclear Criticality Safety Division, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA (United States)
A collection of nuclear criticality documents was begun in the 1970's at the University of California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). Documents in this bibliography are dated as early as 1940. The early documents described experimental work that was of vital importance to the safe use of fissile materials at nuclear reactors, the facilities for preparing or transporting nuclear fuel, or its eventual storage. The experiments were of direct value to support safe operations with fissile materials but they were also needed for validating early physics data and calculational methods and then for validating computational methods used in criticality safety evaluations. These documents provided information for our computerized bibliographic database which was originally published in hard-copy format. Our original 'vintage' hardcopy document collection is preserved and is being scanned into digital format. The bibliography is available online as 'LLNL Database' within the U.S. Department of Energy's Nuclear Criticality Safety Program's NCSP web site. Bibliographic information and full-text documents continue to be downloaded from online databases. The online bibliography now contains close to 23,000 records. Links are available to over 3600 full-text documents within NCSP. This capability will be demonstrated at this conference. (authors)
