What
is LowTrack? |
| |
|
LowTrack
is an inventory management software package that was originally
designed to assist with the management, reporting, and shipping
of low-level radioactive waste/materials using the Nuclear Regulatory
Commissions uniform low-level radioactive waste manifest.
|
| |
Why
has LowTrack moved? |
| |
|
When
budget constraints limited available dollars, the Department
of Energy stopped providing funds that were used, in part, to
support the LowTrack users and software. Many LowTrack users
expressed the need to continue support for this useful software
tool. Three elements were required to provide the desired support:
1. Component software engineers
2. Knowledge of the system and governing regulations
3. A cost effective means of providing financial support
The original LowTrack system designer obtained an exclusive
license for LowTrack from the Department of Energy and established
LowTrack Technology & Services to continue with the LowTrack
software support. The formulation of the LowTrack Users Group,
for a moderate annual fee, provides the financial support.

Will
LowTrack continue to be supported with changes as needed?
|
| |
|
Yes!
LowTrack will continue to be updated as new requirements are
identified and as governing regulations are changed. Updated
releases of LowTrack will then be made available to members
of the LowTrack users group at no additional cost. Please watch
this website for announcements
of upgrades.
