D&D KM-IT
Encyclopedia
Decommissioning and Deactivation Knowledge Management Information Tool (D&D KM-IT) is a centralized web-based knowledge management
information tool built for the D&D user community by the Applied Research Center (ARC) at Florida International University
(FIU) in collaboration with the United States Department of Energy
, the Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG), and the ALARA Centers at the Hanford Site
and Savannah River Site
.
Knowledge management
is the process of gathering, analyzing, storing and sharing knowledge and information within an organization or community. The purpose of this process is to improve efficiency by reducing the need to rediscover the knowledge and to promote reuse of the existing knowledge. To prevent the loss of nuclear decommissioning
and deactivation (D&D) knowledge and expertise that has been gained over the years by employees and contractors of the United States Department of Energy
(DOE), a knowledge management
system has been created specifically for the D&D community to collect, consolidate, and share the information.
