Abstract
A library of electronic databases for thermophysical data is developed using Microsoft Access. This library includes 13 databases containing experimental data. Existing experimental data and their reduction to a unified electronic form for maintaining a large volume of data in their real state were collected and systematized to create the library. The proposed organization of the information greatly facilitates statistical analysis of the experimental data and the computational uncertainty for assessing the safety of operating nuclear power plants and verifying computer codes. Data on the thermohydraulics of RBMK fuel assemblies, critical efflux, and transient regimes in operating power-generating units and data for three-dimensional thermohydraulic calculations of rod assemblies have been placed into the library.
