In the first week of November 2003, the National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC)
will host three nuclear data meetings. We have booked Berkner Hall A, B, and C
for the whole week in order to have enough flexibility to handle all meetings
including overlapping and parallel sessions.
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.
Afterwards, the other two meetings will be held, namely
On Thursday morning, CSEWG and USNDP meetings will overlap. The USNDP
Reaction WG would join the CSEWG morning session to discuss topics of common
interest — homeland security, reaction modeling, and astrophysics, while
the USNDP Structure WG would meet in a parallel session.
