Support for Waste Tracking on the Oak Ridge Reservation
Strata-G personnel have provided waste information tracking support on the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) since 1998. Strata-G has been involved in all aspects of the Waste Information Management System, which is the complex system used since the late 1990s for tracking hazardous, mixed, and low level waste for the three sites on the ORR. Tasks include daily operations, maintenance, and development activities for the database and supporting systems. As responsibilities for management of newly generated waste transition from one Department of Energy (DOE) contractor to another, Strata-G personnel are working with the various contractors and providing customized support. Strata-G is assisting one DOE contractor by performing data quality analysis and review, and developing and documenting processes to ensure that the information required to support accelerated closure activities and disposition of over 25,000 waste items is reliable and readily available. Strata-G is assisting another DOE contractor with the development and implementation of an integrated site-wide waste tracking system tailored specifically to its operational and data needs.
