(Nov. 14) Open call for JRC Traineeships at the Institute for Transuranium Elements (ITU), Karlsruhe, Germany
ITU's first open call for JRC-Traineeships has been published on the ITU website. The deadline for applications is 6 December 2007 (midnight). Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact anika.ROEMMER@ec.europa.eu. In particular we have a position for assistance in the development of an electronic version of the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart. This work ranges from creation of Access databases with nuclear data to web programming/databases development. For more information, see:

(August) European Nuclear Society publishes article on Nucleonica
Summary: The European Nuclear Society (ENS) has published an article on Nucleonica in their Summer 2007 (Issue 17) Newsletter. The full text can be read at... http://www.euronuclear.org/e-news/e-news-17/nucleonica.htm
(July) "Nucleonica at a glance" - brochure now available
Summary: NUCLEONICA is a new nuclear science web portal from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The portal provides a customisable, integrated environment and collaboration platform for the nuclear sciences using the latest internet “Web 2.0” technology. NUCLEONICA is aimed at professionals,academics and students working in the fields of nuclear power, health physics and radiation protection, nuclear and radiochemistry, and astrophysics. In addition, the portal will find application in the life sciences (e.g. biology, medicine, agriculture) and the earth sciences (geology, meteorology, environmental science). It is also used as a knowledge management tool to preserve nuclear knowledge built up over many decades by creating modern web-based versions of so-called legacy computer codes. NUCLEONICA provides “software as a service” on the web rather than through installed software, adding a greater level of stability and security and avoiding version compatibility and update problem. In addition, all NUCLEONICA’s web applications are browser and operating system independent and can therefore be accessed by most web browsers. The NUCLEONICA portal can also be accessed by a variety of mobile devices. http://www.nucleonica.net:81/wiki/index.php/Help:Nucleonica_at_a_glance
(June) New Translations of the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart

(April) Nucleonica presentation at "Nuclear Data 2007" conference
Summary: NUCLEONICA is a new nuclear science web portal from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. The portal provides a customisable, integrated environment and collaboration platform for the nuclear sciences using the latest internet “Web 2.0” dynamic technology. NUCLEONICA is aimed at professionals, academics and students working with radionuclides in fields as diverse as the life sciences (e.g., biology, medicine, agriculture), the earth sciences (geology, meteorology, environmental science) and the more traditional disciplines such as nuclear power, health physics and radiation protection, nuclear and radio-chemistry, and astrophysics. It is also used as a knowledge management tool to preserve nuclear knowledge built up over many decades by creating modern web-based versions of so-called legacy computer codes.

(January) Polonium-210 Updated
The element polonium was first discovered by Mme. Curie in 1898 while seeking the cause of radioactivity of pitchblende (uranium ore). The element is named after Poland, Mme Curie’s native country. There are now 35 known radioactive isotopes of the element polonium – there are no stable isotopes. Polonium-210 (Po-210) is a naturally occurring radioactive material. Although it decays to stable lead-206, it is constantly being produced in nature from the decay of uranium-238 – the main component of uranium in the earth. Due to this “equilibrium”, the concentration of Po-210 in nature is approximately 75 µg of Po-210 for every ton of uranium-238. In terms of disintegrations per second or activity, this corresponds to 1.2E+10 disintegrations per second or 1.2E+10 Bq (1 Becquerel, Bq = 1 disintegration per second).
