2016 | ANNUAL REPORT 17 “The biggest challenge we have is that the information has been provided by different researchers that don’t use the same names for the same materials,” Cunningham explained. “Developing a consistent nomenclature will streamline searches and continue the evolution of developing the database into a true Library.” The NSUF’s goal is to have the Library continue to expand and showcase the available range of samples and experimental data.This goal means that Cunningham will continue to work with national labs, universities, and industry to collect valuable materials into a single, public repository that serves the nuclear community and DOE-NE’s mission. “The NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library will continue to be a valuable research portal to support scientific outcomes,” said Cunningham. “I enjoy hearing the Principal Investigators present findings based on experiments done with Library materials, and I’m always interested in hearing feedback and suggestions on how to improve the Library.” Read more about the NSUF Nuclear Fuels and Materials Library on page 38. “Developing a consistent nomenclature will streamline searches and continue the evolution of developing the database into a true Library.”
