A snapshot in time - the new TRUplanner database - 10400

A new database was developed to augment transuranic (TRU) waste inventory information already captured within the Comprehensive Inventory Database (CID). This new database, known as the TRUplanner, includes information focused on site capability for TRU waste certification and availability to ship to either the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) or Idaho National Laboratory for final characterization and certification before coming to WIPP. Waste stream specific data is imported from the CID to the TRUplanner, and additional data is collected and entered as a result of interviews and site visits. This data is continuously updated as sites are visited. TRU waste information such as facility, equipment, and container information for waste streams, has been captured within the TRUplanner, and supports the Department of Energy, Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO) decision making and strategic planning activities. This infonnation is delivered via three built-in TRUplanner reports that are provided to CBFO management, Acceptable Knowledge (AK) Experts and the TRU Waste Inventory Team.
