THE TRANSPORTATION RESOURCE EXCHANGE CENTER (T-REX): A VIRTUAL LIBRARY ON ALL ASPECTS OF THE TRANSPORTATION OF RADIOACTIVE WASTES AND MATERIALS

摘要

In June 1998, the US Department of Energy (DOE) National Transportation Program (NTP) entered into a Cooperative Agreement with the ATR Institute (ATRI), a University of New Mexico research organization affiliated with the School of Engineering. The NTP supports the DOE transportation infrastructure, and coordinates transportation activities for all non-classified shipments of hazardous materials, including radioactive and mixed wastes, for all DOE programs. In addition, the NTP provides information about non-classified shipments to the NTP’s Internal and External Stakeholders. The Agreement between NTP and ATRI provides for the development and operation of the National Transportation Resource Exchange Center (T-REX), a unique Virtual Library dedicated to providing information about the transportation of radioactive materials to DOE NTP stakeholders.
