System Description: The SWIMS system tracks the packaging, shipping, and disposal of radioactive solid waste. Document Management Center staff manually enter data from forms UNC-2822, UNC 2822-A, UNC 2822-B, UNC-16114, TX-5352, and TX-5352A. These forms note the type of waste, content of the waste, activity levels, packaging information, health physics data and certifications, and storage and disposal information. Fields include buildings, storage locations, isotopes, generator badge numbers, and dates. Reports can be generated in any format as well as in two standard forms. Summary reports contain only a summary of the documents for the date span listed; they do not provide data entry information as do full reports. Charge reports document the per-drum costs and identify the corresponding documentation and related dates. Electronic copies can be produced. The system is backed-up as necessary, with back-ups kept in buildings 3001 and 3130.
