45 What is I nte g rate d Source Management Portfolio (ISMP)?
- ISMP is a set of information technology tools that supports the Radioactive Materials Security Program and related radioactive materials licensing and tracking activities of the NRC.
46 The National Source Tracking System (NSTS)
- The NSTS is a major security initiative of the NRC to track high-risk radioactive sources from the time they are manufactured or imported through the time of their disposal or export, or until they decay.
47 The License Verification Syste m
- The License Verification System ser ves as a "national verification system" to ensure that only authorized licensees obtain radioactive materials in authorized amounts.
48 The Web-Based Licensing System
- The We b-Based Licensing system is a materials licensing system that supports the NRC and Agreement States in managing the licensing information of businesses that use radioactive materials.
49 ISMP Modernization Accomplishments
- Inspection Planning (Byproduct Materials Licenses)
- Generation of Inspection Reports
- WBL to ADAMS Interface
50
- Expanding and improving interfaces for licensees:
- Form submission for new byproduct material license and amendment ISMP applications - modern online submission with real-time communication between Modernization the NRC reviewer and the applicant.
Efforts In
- Online submission of NSTS transaction Progress reports (e. g., transfer, receipt, manufacture) improved data validation which would result in faster processing time and reduced staff effort to correct submission errors.
51 ISMP is Vital to the Effective Program Management in Four Materials and Waste Business Lines
- ISMP Modernization Efforts:
- Support Project Management
- Provide Transparency
- Facilitate Data Analytics
- Enable D ata-Driven Decision Making
