NSA is a comprehensive collection of international nuclear science and technology literature for the period 1948 through 1976, pre-dating the prestigious INIS database, which began in 1970. NSA existed as a printed product (Volumes 1-33) initially, created by DOE's predecessor, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). NSA includes citations to scientific and technical reports from the AEC, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration and its contractors, plus other agencies and international organizations, universities, and industrial and research organizations. References to books, conference proceedings, papers, patents, dissertations, engineering drawings, and journal articles from worldwide sources are also included. Abstracts and full text are provided if available.

This report presents state-of-the art information on the effects of nuclear radiation on ceramic reactor fuel materials that are being used or being considered for use in various types of reactors. The materials discussed include uranium oxides, uranium carbides, uranium mononitride, uranium silicides, plutonium oxide, and plutonium carbide. The report presents data in the form of tables and curves for physical damage incurred by the fuel materials as a result of their exposure to nuclear radiation.
