Integrated Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information System (iNFCIS) is a set of databases related to

thenuclear fuel cyclemaintained by theInternational Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA). The mainobjective of iNFCIS is to provide information on all aspects of nuclear fuel cycle to various

researchers, analysts, energy planners, academicians, students and the general public. Presently

iNFCIS includes several modules. iNFCIS requires free registration for on-line access.

[edit] Background

Nuclear fuel cycle consist of a number of steps which are critical in supporting a nuclear power

programme. This includedfuelsupply related activities in the front end and used or spent fuel

related activities in the back-end. Reliable and accurate statistical data on world wide nuclearfuel cycle activities is desired by the nuclear community for national policy making, international

co-operation and studies pertaining to sustainable global energy futures. The IAEA provides up-

to-date fuel cycle information to Member States, organizations and stakeholders, so as tounderstand, plan and develop nuclear fuel cycle programmes and activities. iNFCIS, a web based

system comprising several nuclear fuel cycle related databases, is one source of such

information.[1]

[edit] Data sources

IAEA over years has accumulated a large volume of data on nuclear fuel cycle activities through

its regular technical meetings and publications, wherein contributions from Member States and

leading international experts has been assimilated. IAEA had initiated electronic preservation of

this data more than 20 years back, and since the last 10 years it has been made freely available

through the public Internet. The data is regularly updated through direct inputs from the MemberStates, by consultants engaged by the IAEA or from open sources. All data is reviewed by

consultants continuously to maintain high quality.

[edit] Modules

iNFCIS presently includes the follow databases and a simulation tool:

The Nuclear fuel cycle information system (NFCIS) is a scenario based computer toolfor the estimation of nuclear fuel cycle material and service requirements developed bythe IAEA. NFCSS is developed based on a model designed to estimate long-term nuclear

fuel cycle requirements and actinide arisings.

The World distribution of uranium deposits database (UDEPO) is an on-line databaseof uranium deposits around the world maintained by the IAEA.

The Post irradiation examination facilities database (PIEDB) is a catalogue of hotlaboratories maintained by the IAEA.

The Minor actinide property database (MADB) is a bibliographic database of physico-chemical properties of selectedminor actinidecompounds and alloys.

The Nuclear fuel cycle simulation system (NFCSS) is a scenario based tool to estimatematerial flow in the nuclear fuel cycle.
