AWARDS

2015 French Award

French Award

The group is recognized for exceptional creativity and dedication in forging and continually improving the world's most comprehensive virtual resource of atomic standard reference data. In response to exacting needs from customers who rely on this resource to verify nuclear non-proliferation or analyze satellite data, the team improved upon what was already a broad collection of atomic standard reference materials. They did so by integrating and evaluating complex data from a variety of sources, resolving thousands of resulting technical discrepancies, and adding sophisticated online tools and models to guide users through the system and to help them generate new data on demand.
