==Nuclear Science Abstracts==

The EDB also contains the [[''Nuclear Science Abstracts]]'' which is a comprehensive abstract and index collection to the international [[nuclear science]] and [[nuclear technology|technology]] literature for the period 1948 through 1976. Included are scientific and technical reports of the [[US Atomic Energy Commission]], United States [[Energy Research and Development Administration]] and its contractors, other agencies, universities, and industrial and research organizations. Approximately 25% of the records in the file contain abstracts. Nuclear Science Abstracts contains over 900,000 bibliographic records. In comparison, the entire '''Energy Science &and Technology Database''' contains over 3 million bibliographic records.<ref name=WhatIs-EDB/>

==EDB Scope==

Moreover, this database is designed to be a source for any individual who requires access to worldwide [[energy]] related [[information]]. This database is applicable to the following:
