2008 before the commencement of ADAS-EU. The web server is located at the Physics Department, University of
Strathclyde and linked to IAEA Vienna. The OPEN-ADAS Version 1 release document and manual is attached in
AppendixA[1]. Thewebaddressiswww.open.adas.ac.uk.

Dr Allan Whiteford was the developer of the OPEN-ADAS software. His departure from the University leaves a
personnel gap for OPEN-ADAS maintenance. Dr Martin O’Mullane has taken over this role and now acts as the
