Asset and Resource Tracking
The U.S. Department of Energy has extensive assets—both personnel and equipment—available around the world to respond to any incident involving radiological/nuclear materials. Additionally, DOE conducts frequent exercises and training to ensure its personnel know their responsibilities and what actions to take during an emergency. But headquarters officials needed to gather and maintain all of this information in a central location, accessible by all who need to know.
Through our contract to manage the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) for DOE, ORAU employees developed two unique systems than answered DOE's need. Follow these links to the ORISE Web site to learn more:
- NA-42 Event Tracking System (NETS)
For DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of Emergency Response (NA-42), this system tracks scheduled exercises and operations to give managers comprehensive visibility on the activities of their teams. - Asset Readiness Management System (ARMS)
This system provides readiness information on DOE's personnel and equipment. Through a system of strict metrics, ARMS automatically calculates readiness scores for each asset based on the depth of personnel available, their training, their inventory of equipment, and the condition of their equipment.
