On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

The physical data of the Large Helical Device (LHD) project have been serviced by the Analyzed Data Server system, and approximately 600 kinds of physical data are served. In order to execute simulation programs for the LHD experiment, one must gather sets of physical data. Because the Automatic Analyzed Server (AutoAna) calculates the physical data automatically, it eases the scientist’s task of collecting these physical data. The AutoAna has provided better computing environments for the scientists. Thus, the scientists, having recognized its benefits, make various requests as issues arise. In this paper, the authors introduce the current status of the AutoAna system.
