International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

707/200000

Abstract:

An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for performing an automated independent technical review. The method includes receiving an assay result of a radioactive waste container, determining whether the assay result is within a predetermined parameter, determining whether a review is required if the assay result is not within the predetermined parameter and rejecting the assay result if the review is not required and the assay result is not within the predetermined parameter.

Abstract:

A method for automated electronic document and records management. The method also verifies that the operator meets training requirements associated with the specific role for that characterization process. A characterization process is selected for the waste container using a qualified system. Qualification of the system is performed automatically by the method and includes verifying that the system: uses only quality parts that were purchased in compliance with an approved quality assurance program; uses measurement and test equipment that is properly calibrated; and is approved by the site project manager. Prior to starting the characterization, the method verifies that the system successfully completed the measurement control check. The performance of the characterization process is initiated in response to the characterization system meeting the measurement control standard. Output from the characterization process includes characterization data. After characterization data are input, the method automatically creates all report forms required to certify the waste for disposal. These forms include checklists that are linked automatically to the characterization data stored for each waste container. Next, a verification that the characterization data passes a generation level data review is performed. A verification that the characterization data passes a project level review is performed in response to the characterization data passing the generation level data review. After final approval by the site project manager, the characterization data are transmitted to a receiving system in response to the characterization data passing the project level data review.
