Abstract
The preliminary scope and contents of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) handbook are presented. The work consists of two tasks. One task is the book itself, containing graphs, tables, and the necessary explanatory texts, and the second is a computer tape containing nuclear data: cross sections, spectra of neutron sources, and decay data for a number of selected isotopes. The data will be supplemented by a number of codes to process cross-section data. The need for covariance information is discussed and some doubts are raised about the benefits of using this kind of information in treating well logging data
