Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute

[Partners in SUP@VAMDC project, but not yet partners in VAMDC Consortium.]

Established in 1959, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is the leading national research institute in charge of the R&D of nuclear technologies including reactor design, fuel development, safety assessment, waste management, nuclear data evaluation, neutron and radiation applications, and so on for the peaceful use of atomic energy. [https://www.kaeri.re.kr/eng/][Leaflet].

Research Reactor Utilization
Development of Reactors for Export
Nuclear Safety Research
R&D for Future Nuclear Energy Systems
Developing Advanced Future Technologies

To support those activities above, Nuclear Data Center has been established in KAERI, which is taking care of production, evaluation, dissemination of the nuclear data as well as the atomic and molecular data, with databases [http://atom.kaeri.re.kr] and [http://pearl.kaeri.re.kr] respectively. Those databases are the members of the nuclear data centers organized by IAEA.

Role-

Role of KAERI in VAMDC is to extend VAMDC to Korea, which is described in detail in the SUP@VAMDC proposal documents.
Databases and Services-

Since the initial launch in 1997, AMODS (Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Database Systems) in KAERI has been evolved into a multiple database structure to contain many features related to atomic spectroscopy and collisional processes. It is now transfered to PEARL (Photonic Electronic Atomic Reaction Laboratory) database. PEARL is a member of the International Data Center Network (IDCN) managed by IAEA.

More information is available here.
Scientific Interest of VAMDC Members-
The science interests of the KAERI VAMDC members are:
- Theoretical and experimental study of Atomic spectroscopy for Astrophysics,Quantum Optics, and Nuclear Fusion
- Collisional-radiative modeling for plasma spectroscopy
