RE: Transportation Reference Documents



I thought I heard that DOE was not given funds to continue to support

LowTrack and the MIMS effort.  Can anyone add anything here?

Low-Track Summary



The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Inventory Management System (Low-Track©) is

designed to help states, compact regions, and generators of low-level

radioactive waste (LLW) maintain inventories of that waste, create manifests

to ship the waste, and maintain records of the waste as it goes through

waste consolidation operations. The software was designed to allow for three

modes of data population, file transfer, two-dimensional bar codes, and

manual inventory input. The system is correlated with the U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission (NRC) uniform manifest to help with the national

thrust to maintain an inventory of LLW in the United States among

generators, processors, storage, and disposal facilities. The system is

supported by Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory under

the direction of the U.S. Department of Energy.



Low-Track© is designed to assist tracking of low-level radioactive waste at

a facility. Once key information about the waste container is loaded, the

database module is designed to:



- Maintain inventory locations at the waste package level,



- Maintain inventory volumes for pre-processed waste,



- Retain the history of individual waste packages through waste

consolidation or bulking,



- Develop and print manifests, and



- Create reports.



Low-Track has been designed for portability and is capable of being

maintained on a laptop computer. Information can easily be transferred

between personal computers in the office and field. The software is driven

by a graphical user interface, you simply select an activity and then follow

the cursor and on-screen prompts to fill-in the information or complete the

desired action.
