Development of a safeguards database

An effort has been made to computerize, the information regarding IAEA safeguards inspections in Pakistan, the data about designated inspectors, material inventory at safeguarded facilities and details of safeguards agreements with the Agency. The database has been developed using ACCESS. The information such as searching of designated inspectors of a particular nationality, material inventory of a certain kind of nuclear material at a safeguarded facility or the information on any safeguards agreement can be easily traced using this database which provides flexible search options. All the information is managed from single database file. Within the file, the safeguards data is divided into separate tables. Various forms have been created to edit/add data directly to the tables. Various queries can be made to present data in a certain format. (author)
