The Symposium on Nuclear Data Evaluation Methodology provided a forum for the discussion of developments made over the past 12 years in the evaluation methods used for generating data files for applied technology. With a program that was prepared by an international committee of experts in this field, this set of proceedings gives a comprehensive overview of the development and progress of this field for the last 12 years. It serves as an important source of reference and historical update for those seeking an in-depth understanding of this study.
