Summary of the 53rd Cross Section Evaluation Working Group Meeting
&
Minutes of the US Nuclear Data Program Meeting with the Summary of the Common Session on Nuclear Data for Homeland Security

The week will start with the meeting of the Nuclear Data Oversight Committee for Criticality Safety, November 3, 2003 (Monday), chaired by R. McKnight, ANL.
On Thursday morning, CSEWG and USNDP meetings will overlap. The USNDP Reaction Working Group will join the CSEWG morning session to discuss topics of common interest - homeland security, reaction modeling, and astrophysics - while the USNDP Structure Working Group will meet in a parallel session.
Presentations should be prepared in PowerPoint using standard fonts (e.g., Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, and Times Roman). If PowerPoint is not available or suitable for the contribution, please convert to PDF, embedding all fonts if standard fonts are not used.
Please e-mail your contributions to Gail Brown (brown9@bnl.gov) with a copy to Tom Burrows (nndctb@bnl.gov) by October 28, 2003 noting which sessions the presentations are for.
Laboratory reports should cover through September 30, 2003.

Note changes compared to initial draft dated September 3, 2003:

Tuesday morning - Parallel Sessions on Formats and on Measurements
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday - Combined Session on Evaluation and Validation
Thursday morning - Session on Homeland Security
