The document describes the iNFCIS-MADB, which is a database maintained by the IAEA containing minor actinide property data. It contains nearly 1000 data entries across 10 material groups related to minor actinides like neptunium, americium and curium. The database provides search and filtering capabilities. Future plans include expanding the data, improving functionality, and adding new modules like automatic data updates and a forum.
