Seapine Software Plays Critical Role in DOE Cleanup Project

CINCINNATI--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Seapine Software, a leading global provider of quality-centric application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions, today announced that waste management contractor CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC (CWI) will use its TestTrack Pro issue management solution to track regulatory compliance issues for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) cleanup project. The $2.9 billion cleanup is funded by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management and is scheduled to run through September 30, 2012.

CWI is responsible for the treatment and disposal of legacy radioactive and hazardous waste, transfer of spent nuclear fuel from wet to dry storage, and decontamination, and demolition of surplus buildings at the INL site near Idaho Falls, Idaho. The cleanup focuses on five major geographic areas that involve solid waste disposal and soil and water treatment from various waste management and nuclear reactor testing facilities dating back to 1949. CWI has used manual methods, such as spreadsheets, to track the complex IT issues associated with the compliance of Superfund federal regulations. To better track the myriad of compliance issues involved in the federal cleanup initiative, CWI selected Seapine’s TestTrack Pro product to automate and streamline the issue management process.

Rick Riccetti, president and CEO, Seapine Software said, “The multi-year Idaho National Laboratory cleanup involves the tight control and proper disposal of a large number of nuclear contaminated materials that are governed by strict federal regulations. By implementing TestTrack Pro, CWI is able to make the compliance issue management process more efficient across all of the INL cleanup locations. It’s a great solution for them: comprehensive issue management, audit trail logging, and customizable workflow, all in a single, easy-to-use solution, accessible from any location or computer platform.”
