Abstract
Oak Ridge has developed an intelligent facility and information management system to provide near real time verifiable status of safeguarded materials in a nuclear storage facility. The Graphical Facility Information System (GraFICtm) is a versatile software package designed to operate in a distributed computing environment. GraFICtm is integrated with a suite of rugged, low-cost sensors that remotely monitor the physical and/or assigned attributes associated with stored nuclear materials and reports item and facility activity to an unlimited number of authorized clients. The software also contains facility management tools to assist with space planning, record management, item location, and a variety of other facilities needs.
