D&D KM-IT URL DNDKM.org Commercial? No Type of site Knowledge management software Owner United States Department of Energy Created by Florida International University Launched 2 March 2011 Current status Active Decommissioning and Deactivation Knowledge Management Information Tool (D&D KM-IT) is a centralized web-based knowledge management information tool custom-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 main 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 this valuable information in a universally available and easily usable system.
The Need for Knowledge Management
Deactivation and Decommissioning (D&D) work is a high priority across the DOE Complex. Subject matter specialists associated with the different ALARA (As-Low-As-Reasonably-Achievable) Centers, DOE sites and the D&D community have gained extensive knowledge and experience over the years. To prevent the D&D knowledge and expertise from being lost over time, an approach is needed to capture and maintain this valuable information in a universally available and easily usable system.[1]
