The International Nuclear Information System (INIS) hosts one of the world's largest collections of published information on the peaceful uses of nuclear science and technology. It offers online access to a unique collection of non-conventional literature. INIS is operated by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) in collaboration with 127 Member States and 24 co-operating international organizations.
INIS processes most of the world’s scientific and technical literature that falls within its subject scope and maintains a database which contains over three millions bibliographic references and a unique collection of over 300,000 full-texts gray literature that would be difficult to obtain elsewhere.
INIS range of subjects includes:
- Nuclear engineering and technology
- Nuclear Safety and radiation protection
- Safeguards and non-proliferation
- Applications of nuclear and isotopic techniques
- Sciences relevant to nuclear research and other applications
- Nuclear and high energy physics
- Radiation chemistry
- Legal aspects
- Environmental and economic aspects of nuclear and non-nuclear energy sources.
