TRUSYSTEM: A computerized system for the management of defense transuranic waste

Creators

Description

The US Department of Energy (DOE) is embarking on a program to dispose of defense transuranic waste in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, NM. In order to ensure that WIPP receives the waste at the required rate, the careful management of a logistic system involving numerous DOE facilities and specialized transports is required. TRUSYSTEM is being used in the design and operation of this complex system. TRUSYSTEM consists of a computerized database, a system simulation program, and software for the monitoring and dispatching of waste transport. This system, designed to operate on new generation of microcomputers, is being written in machine independent code (FORTRAN and ''C''). It is easily maintained and can be moved among different types of computers. TRUSYSTEM resides entirely within computer memory. This provides the speed necessary for real-time operations
