Versatility of an Online Database of Spent Nuclear Fuel Management

摘要

A vast and diverse database on spent nuclear fuel (SNF) supports the mission of211u001ethe Westinghouse Savannah River Company's (WSRC) Spent Fuel Storage Division 211u001e(SFSD) at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) chemical-211u001enuclear complex. Prior to 1994, this documentation resided in multiple files 211u001emaintained by various organizations across SRS. Since that time, in an attempt to 211u001eimprove the efficiency of SNF data retrieval upon demand, the files have been 211u001esubstantially rearranged and consolidated. Moreover, selected data have been 211u001ecaptured electronically in a web-style, online Spent Nuclear Fuel Database (SNFD) 211u001efor quick and easy access from any personal computer on the SRS intranet. 211u001eOriginally released in August 1996, the SNFD has continued to expand at regular 211u001eintervals commensurate with the SFSD mission.
