LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY INFORMATION SYSTEM: A RESEARCH TOOL FOR TRANSPORTING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS

As part of the US Department of Energy's overall research and development program to analyze and resolve the complex problems of nuclear materials transportation, the Legislative and Regulatory Information System (LRIS) was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a key component of ORNL's overall Transportation Program. The information contained in the LRIS has been organized into two specialized interrelated research files, the Legislative Data Base and the Operational Restrictions and Emergency Response Contacts Directory. Combined, these data bases allow interested users to quickly identify legislative restrictions as well as key state and local personnel and agencies responsible for regulating the movement of hazardous materials.
