Alternative Database for Domestic LOF Nuclear Materials and Fuel

As regards information on nuclear material, the location outside facilities (LOF) in Thailand total 93 and these forms the basis of a database created in 2016 via Microsoft Access 2010. The data input was compiled from Office of Atoms for Peace (OAP) licensing information on nuclear material. The nuclear material query template, both in Thai and English, was established to include more material details. This necessary information was intended to support law enforcement or regulatory investigations. The multimedia CourseLab demonstration module providing descriptions of how to complete OAP nuclear material licence forms was created to improve the understanding of the end users who have to fill the query template. In 2017, the nuclear forensics database was created using Microsoft Access 2010 and was intended to be the prototype for developing the National Nuclear Forensics Library (NNFL). The NNFL was aimed to support National Nuclear Forensics Laboratory, which was established in 2013 under the project No. 30 on Network of Excellence for Nuclear Forensics in South East Asia Region (2013-2014), assisted by European Union chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear risk mitigation centre of excellence initiative. Additional databases were developed via Microsoft Access 2010, such as: i) additional nuclear forensics information, including LOF database of year 2016, and ii) OAP's Nuclear Forensics Laboratory inventory. The library data were summarized for some domain expertise, i.e. fresh fuel and irradiated fuel in the nuclear fuel cycle stage, sealed sources and unsealed sources following the NNFL master index, as well as its Microsoft Word 2010 templates. The algorithms for comparative analysis are ongoing and have been developed for interpretation of the information on the seized materials and those existing in NNFL, to identify and report, for nuclear forensics purposes, conclusions on crime investigations in the events of a nuclear security alert.
