Flow to licensing: Technical data tracking and the Licensing Support System (LSS)
- Science Applications International Corp., Las Vegas, NV (US)
The Department of Energy/Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (DOE/OCRWM) is responsible for the characterization of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, to determine if it is a suitable site for the location of the first high-level radioactive waste repository. Site Characterization involves extensive scientific investigations and engineering analyses. The DOE/OCRWM must ensure that traceability is retained between data collected in the course of site characterization and the conclusions based upon that data. The DOE/OCRWM must also identify and provide access to the data it generates in a timely manner to facilitate the licensing process. Finally, the DOE/OCRWM must submit the data or its description and access location to the Licensing Support System for use in support of the license application and supporting documentation. This paper reports that the Automated Technical Data Tracking system and its associated Technical Data Information Form meet those needs and provide key links in the licensing process.
