for basic science and practical applications. This paper gives an overview of the NDS
activities aimed at the development and maintenance of general purpose databases, such as
collection of experimental and evaluated reaction cross sections data, as well as those for the
specific energy and material applications, namely for ion material beam analyses, neutron
dosimetry, fission and fusion neutronics. The latest upgrades, developments and existing
weaknesses are highlighted.
