National IAEA INIS Center

INIS – the leading international information system in the field of peaceful use of atomic energy. The system was established and is operated by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in cooperation with member states and international organizations of INIS.

INIS provides comprehensive bibliographic notification services on publications in atomic science and technology. For this purpose, INIS processes the majority of scientific and technical publications related to the system's subject area, published worldwide. The subject coverage of INIS was developed according to the information needs of the international community within the interests and activities of the IAEA in the peaceful use of atomic energy and technology.

It includes the following subject sections:

Nuclear energy, including:

Nuclear engineering and instrumentation;

Nuclear fission reactors;
