THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE LOCAL AREA NUCLEAR MATERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY SOFTWARE (LANMAS) TO MEET VARIOUS INSTALLATIONS NEEDS

The Local Area Nuclear Material Accountability Software (LANMAS) is a core, nuclear material accountability software application designed to standardize nuclear material accountability throughout the Department of Energy (DOE) complex. Development of LANMAS began in the early 1990’s and is designed to effectively and efficiently respond to current and emerging nuclear material accountability needs. The DOE Office of Information Management (HS-1.22) provides funding and oversight of the LANMAS Program. The DOE Savannah River Operations Office is responsible for oversight of the LANMAS development, management, and customer support activities performed by the Washington Savannah River Company (WSRC). Since the application has been in production at 17 facilities, design efforts to promote scalability have to be considered when enhancements are added. The application must be able to meet a sites needs based on current workflow and operations. The application can be run on a single standalone PC or be fully automated to work with process systems. Following a brief background of the LANMAS application, this paper will discuss: (1) application features which can be configured to model process workflows, (2) various application configuration deployments in response to changing organizational structures, and (3) integration with process systems.
