A Simple Computer Program to Collect and to Manage Data of the Shipments of Radioactive Material

According to the Italian Legislation the authorized carriers have to provide data of all performed shipments to ANPA (the Italian Competent Authority for Transport of RAM). Some carriers (major) with a large number of shipments are able to provide data on magnetic support, other carriers (minor) provide data only by the standard sheet (on quarterly basis) according to the authorization Decree issued by the Ministry of Industry. An input data processor for personal computer called TRIME has been developed by ANP A, to assist the minor carriers to manage and to record the data concerning their shipments. Purposes of the TRIME input processor are to make easy the data management for those carriers that own a personal computer but no capability to develop such program and to improve the quality of the data they have to provide.
