The UK Nuclear Science Forum (UKNSF) covers the measurement and evaluation of nuclear data for applications in the nuclear industry, nuclear medicine and protection of the environment. Nuclear data includes radioactive decay data, fission yields, neutron production and reaction cross-sections, spectra and angular distributions of emitted particles, integral data (e.g., (α,n) for thick targets) and charged particle and photon cross sections.

The UKNSF, operated by NPL on behalf of HSE, advises the UK representatives to the NEA Databank and the IAEA Nuclear Data Section on the needs of the UK in the field. Membership is open to all users, measurers and evaluators of nuclear data in the UK. There are two meetings a year, usually in May and November.
