[2],xix, [1], 191, [1] pages. Illustrations (including vugraphs). Formulae. Footnotes. Figures. Tables. References. The workshop had several keynote speakers whose remarks have been summarized. There were working group reports in the areas of Transport, Thermodynamics and Phase Stability, Chemical Kinetics and Phase Transformation, Mechanical (Stress), Neutronics, Electronic Data Management and Retrieval, Mining, Assessment and Selected of Needed Compatibility Data, Measurement Practice for achieving High Value Data, Data Validity and Veritas, and Leadership and Management of the Industry-Wide Database. This was followed by Path Forward/Recommendations and a List of the Participants. Perhaps the most significant portion of this document is the Report of the Working Group on Leadership and Management of the Industry-Wide Database which was chaired by Robert Hanrahan of the National Nuclear Security Administration. Some of the other Working Group chairpersons were associated with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Idaho National Laboratory, the Y-12 National Security Complex, and the National Institute for Science and Technology. The sponsors of this workshop had a vision of a Nuclear Materials Compatibility Data Archive. High quality science and engineering is based on using and evaluating data. The recent advance of dynamic data evaluation has the potential to alter the paradigm of information usage, including the way data is gathered, verified, stored, and used. These changes will dramatically improve the quality, value, and sharing of information, reduce the amount of errors and duplication in scientific research, and will pinpoint and map out areas that need ore work. By coordinating with editors and the publishing community, the relatively high levels of erroneous data can be drastically reduced, as observed in the thermo and biological data fields. Dynamic data evaluation is like adding Google and Matlab together for a scientific field. The rapid advance of technologies has made it possible to create data systems that hold essentially all of the published data in a given field. By incorporating a strong set of rules, automated input systems, and comparisons with existing datasets, it becomes possible to rapidly analyze, verify, and share data in real-time without lengthy literature searches. The ability to use dynamic data evaluation for rapid data analysis can reduce the time required for literature surveys from months to minutes. In face, the literature search can even be tuned to for much deeper insight into the data and can even highlight area where data is sparse or plentiful. By building on the body of knowledge and experience of previous research teams, including the highly-recognized ThermoData engine system from NIST, it is possible to rapidly build a system for nuclear materials research that will have strong capabilities for safe and effective data-sharing in the global community. The goal of this firs Nuclear Materials Compatibility workshop was to coordinate the domestic nuclear laboratories and industries in planning the development of a system which can be effectively and safely used by all parties. The input of representatives from across the industry and government indicated a high level of interest and anticipation for the proposes system. This document details the workshop's discussions and interactions and highlights the path forward for development of a full-scale system.…
