This conference is held every three years and is part of a series of conferences previously organized in Harwell (1978), Antwerp (1982), Santa Fe (1985), Mito (1988), Jülich (1991), Gatlinburg (1994), Trieste (1997), Tsukuba (2001), Santa Fe (2004) and Nice (2007).

The purpose of this conference is to bring together scientists and engineers involved in the production or use of nuclear data for various applications. The ND2010 conference will cover measurements, theoretical model developments, evaluation, processing, validation and dissemination activities. The scope of the conference includes the following fields of application: fission and fusion energy, accelerator technology, dosimetry and shielding, astrophysics and cosmology, safeguards and security, space, medicine and environment. The corresponding needs for improved nuclear data will be addressed.

The ND2010 conference is organized by the Korean Nuclear Society and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute under the auspices of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency.
