Computer-assisted management of liquid radioactive waste at the University of California, San Diego

Commercially available software has been obtained and internal software applications have been developed to implement a tracking system for liquid radioactive wastes. This system utilizes a number of data bases that maintain sampling, waste pickup and disposition information based on various parameters. Computerization has allowed access to summary information and inventory totals that are necessary for radioactive materials license compliance. Comparative reports, which are used to show trends and track historical information, can also be generated.
