ITER material properties handbook

In December 1993, the ITER Joint Central Team authorized the creation of a Material Properties Handbook. This handbook is a cooperative activity between the four parties of ITER (Japan, the European Union, the Russian Federation, and the US), The US Home Team has been selected to coordinate the documentation and publication, while all four parties provide data. Since its creation approximately 18 months ago, the effort focused on organizing the handbook, developing a common format for use by all of the parties, demonstrating the ability to electronically transfer files between the four parties, generation of data pages, and release of the Handbook for review by members of the ITER Joint Central Team.
