Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) employees at the Savannah River Site (SRS) have recently implemented a new, single entity, web-based waste tracking system to reduce the risk of database failures and to better serve the Site’s needs. The Consolidated Waste Tracking System (CWTS) replaces several different waste tracking systems that have been used at SRS over the past 20 years.

“This was a huge undertaking and is the culmination of four years of detailed planning, development and rigorous testing,” said Verne Mooneyhan, Solid Waste Management Facility Manager for the Site’s managing and operating contractor, SRNS. “CWTS helps us track, forecast, receive, and disposition Transuranic, Low-Level, and Hazardous/Mixed wastes more efficiently as well helping to better maintain waste characterization data and performance of limit checks to ensure waste items do not exceed prescribed limits. As a result, these functions are performed with less risk of failure than past tracking systems.” The implementation of CWTS, which took place in three phases, was an effort that involved departments from across SRNS.

“We are pleased to see CWTS implemented,” said SRNS President and CEO Stuart MacVean. “SRNS employees are always looking for ways to reduce risks and improve performance. CWTS will serve SRS well now, and for many years to come.”
