The Nuclear Science Division is pleased to announce that the Nuclear Data Group in the Accelerator-Based Low-Energy Program will be reclassified as the Nuclear Data Program, effective November 1st, 2024. This decision reflects the scientific and financial independence of the nuclear data efforts at LBNL.
The elevation of the Program also serves as recognition of its leading role in the national and international nuclear data communities, and the growth of nuclear data initiatives in basic and applied research. With this change comes the appointment of Prof. Lee Bernstein as the Nuclear Data Program Head and Mathis Wiedeking as his Program Deputy.
The program, with its strong connection to the UC Berkeley Department of Nuclear Engineering, will continue to address the data needs of the basic and applied nuclear science community while training the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers.
