Title: Commitment tracking system implementation at the Savannah River Plant

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6063074

The Savannah River Plant (SRP) is a Department of Energy (DOE) installation covering over 300 square miles along the Savannah River in South Carolina. E.I. du Pont de Nemours (Du Pont) has been the only operating contractor at SRP since 1952. Over 16,000 people work at the facility. Three weapons grade production reactors produce plutonium, tritium and other radioactive materials for DOE. As you may know, the reactors have been shut down since last fall. Plans are to restart them by the end of the year. Congress has authorized a New Production Reactor to be built at SRP or Idaho Falls to replace these three reactors. SRP is this country's only source of weapons grade materials. Du Pont has decided that it is not in the company's best interest to continue as the SRP operating contractor. All present Du Pont employees will transfer to the new operating contractor - Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) on April 1. WSRC has decided this will be an ideal time to implement a site-wide commitment tracking system or the Commitment Management System (CMS).
