The Waste Management
Information System (WMIS) is a dynamic system currently
being developed as a management and planning tool. The
system provides an accurate and complete resource for
information pertaining to waste streams and treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities throughout the DOE
complex. WMIS in its present form is populated with
mixed, hazardous, and radioactive waste data from the
various DOE sites. As DOE's primary waste management
information system, WMIS supports a variety of DOE
programs as well as customizing reports to meet the needs
of specific projects. During FY 1993, WMIS was migrated
from a VAX 8700 mainframe to a microcomputer-based
environment. |
| Data: |
The data exists in two major
areas:
- Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD)
Capabilities a compilation of DOE facilities,
both existing and planned, for the treatment,
storage, and disposal of waste. Storage
capabilities, capacities, and information on
types of acceptable feedstocks are included.
Treatment and disposal methodologies are
presented with operating parameters and
restrictions.
- Waste Profiles data on the various wastestreams
that have been identified for waste management
activities. Data includes generation rates,
quantities, characterization, point of contact
information, and applicable waste management
options.
The data in the two areas presented above are being
merged through an artificial link that enables the user
to determine which waste profiles or wastestreams are
managed at the facilities listed in the TSD Capabilities.

| Access: |
Direct access to the system
is available at DOE Headquarters. |
| Hardware/Software: |
The data base resides on a
Novel local area network and applications are written in
FoxPro. |
