The document discusses the Integrated Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information System (iNFCIS), which provides a one-stop database for information on nuclear fuel cycles. It contains summaries of various nuclear fuel cycle databases managed by the IAEA, including the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information System (NFCIS) directory of civilian nuclear facilities, the Uranium Deposits database (UDEPO), and databases on spent fuel storage and minor actinides. It provides statistics on usage of iNFCIS and outlines plans to improve and expand the system in the future.
