EXTENDED ABSTRACT:
Software package FAR (Fuel Assembly Register), developed at "J. Stefan"
Institute, covers all aspects of the nuclear material accounting on a nuclear
facility. It was written in the Clipper language which is suitable for data base
applications and allows straightforward communications with other available data
bases. Package currently runs on PC machines under DOS operating system. The
Windows version is under development and will be available in the near future.
FAR was originally designed for the Kr{ko NPP but, because of the generality in
programming and modularity in structure, can be easily applied to any other
nuclear facility. The main purpose of the package is to simplify control and
updating of the fuel elements properties during NPP lifetime. Automatic data
processing reduces possibility of errors and enables simpler implementation of a
QA programme.
Program uses four data base files (DBF):
Important goal of the program is to create various templates for IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) reports. It also creates several other reports for internal NPP use.
