In-house INIS database
• Some issues in ICS
– Sometimes connection is slow or not available
– Not useful for bibliometric study because of limit of
downloadable records and it is not easy for users
to click on the checkbox to export many records
– Accurate number of search result is not available
– Search by primary subject category, country of
input, etc is not available
– Search request number is not available in query
– ICS always searches full text as well as
bibliographic information, it is convenient but it
sometimes searches irrelevant information
→ Develop In-house INIS database for
complimentary system to ICS

Archive information of TEPCO
Fukushima Daiichi NPS Accident
• Start to provide reference information
about Fukushima Daiichi NPS accident
in April, 2011 “Special website on
Fukushima Accident reference
information”
• Increase contents such as JAEA’s R&D
results, Useful bibliographies, Reports
of investigation committee, etc

Ensure access to the Internet
Information in cooperation with NDL
• Cooperate with the Web Archiving Project
(WARP) by NDL to ensure permanent
access to Internet information
• WARP is the National Diet Library’s Web
Archiving Project to archive Japanese
official institutions’ websites: the
government, the diet, the courts, local
governments, independent administrative
organizations etc.

Apply IAEA Taxonomy for
classification
• IAEA developed taxonomy for major nuclear
accidents
• Assign IAEA taxonomy to organize the
collected information systematically
• IAEA taxonomy is working version and we
will revise it to appropriately classify the
information and give feedback to the IAEA
IAEA Taxonomy

Future plan
• Enlarge contents of web information within Japan
• Improve user interface, functionality
- OAI-PMH, Cross-search with INIS, etc
• Provide metadata for Great East Japan Earthquake
Archive “HINAGIKU” operated by the National Diet
Library (http://kn.ndl.go.jp/?language=en) as well
as INIS Database
- Format conversion, indexing, etc are necessary
• Data flagging for retrieving useful data
- Monitoring data, Plant parameters, etc
• Collect web information outside Japan
