The DOE/DOD Environmental Data Bank was established in 1959 as a central location for storing weapons and equipment environments information from a variety of DOE, DoD, and industrial sources and continues to be maintained by Sandia National Laboratories. The Data Bank contains approximately 3,000 documents regarding normal and abnormal environments that describe handling, storage, transportation, use, and general phases, which occur during the life of a system. This paper describes the DOE/DOD Environmental Data Bank system, its structure, data sources, usage, and progress in converting it from a microfilm database to an electronic database.
