The Integrated Data Base (IDB) Program at Oak Ridge National Laobratory (ORNL) produces for the US Department of Energy (DOE) the official spent fuel and radioactive waste inventories and projections for the United States through the year 2020. Inventory data are collected and checked for consistency, projection data are calculated based on specified assumptions, and both are converted to a standard format. Spent fuel and waste radionuclides are decayed as a function of time. The resulting information constitutes the core data files called the Past/Present/Future (P/P/F) data base. A data file management system, SAS, is used to retrieve the data and create several types of output: an annual report, an electronic summary data file designed for IBM-PC-compatible computers, and special-request reports. 6 references, 2 tables.
