Nucleonica is a nuclear science web portal created by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre. [2] [3] which was later spun off to the company Nucleonica GmbH in March 2011. [1]
The company Nucleonica GmbH was founded by Dr. Joseph Magill in 2011 as a spin-off from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, Institute for Transuranium Elements. [1][ better source needed] In addition to providing user friendly access to nuclear data, the main focus of Nucleonica is to provide professionals in the nuclear industry with a suite of validated scientific applications for everyday calculations.
The portal is also suitable for education and training in the nuclear field, [4] both for technicians and degree-level and programmes in Nuclear engineering technology. [5] [6]
Nucleonica GmbH also took responsibility for the management and development of the Karlsruhe Nuclide Chart print and online versions. [1]

For full access to all nuclides and applications, the user can upgrade to Premium for which there is an annual user charge.[ citation needed]
