< Back RADMAN™ StORM Shipment Review Dec 2, 2021 Send and receive requests to perform shipment documentation reviews from other Fleet Plants A recent addition to RADMAN™ allows for sites to submit shipment review requests to other sites/shippers. This feature will grant the recipient of a request for a review temporary access to shipment documentation and file attachments. The review recipient will be able to approve the shipment or return with comments. During the review process the recipient can upload additional file attachments, which can be included with the shipment documentation package. Submitting a Review Request To submit a shipment review request, open the Staged Shipment Listing, select the shipment to review, and click on the Request Review command. RADMAN™ will display a popup window, asking for the site and user at the site to submit the review request to. Select the site and user, and optionally, you can enter additional email addresses to submit a notification (i.e., alternate recipient email addresses, or manager/supervisor email addresses). Click OK when complete. You will be prompted to confirm submission of the shipment review request, and that the recipient will be granted access to shipment related information. Click “OK” to submit the review request. Reviewing a Shipment When a shipment review request is submitted, all recipients will receive an email with a summary of the shipment to review. To view the list of shipments to be reviewed, click on the StORM tab, then in the “Dashboards” section, click on “Shipment Reviews”. The review listing includes a “Review Status” column, that describes the status of all incoming shipment reviews. The first step of the review process is to send an acknowledgement that the review request has been received by selecting the shipment record and then click “Send Acknowledgment” in the Commands Menu, this will send an email notification to the requesting site that the review request has been received. The reviewer will see “Request Sent” initially, and once a report (manifest, BOL, etc.) is viewed, the status will change to the “Request Viewed” status. Request Sent – A shipment review request has been sent and has not been acknowledged by the recipient. Request Viewed – The reviewer has viewed one or more reports associated with the shipment. When the reviewer selects “Return with Comment” or “Approve” in the Commands Menu, the shipment will be removed from the list. The sender will see the updated status in the “Review Status” column in the staged shipment listing. Returned With Comment – The reviewer has comments that need to be resolved before the shipment can be approved. Shipment Approved – The reviewer has completed their review and has approved the shipment. Reviewers will be granted access to all shipment related reports, including Manifests, Bill of Lading, NRC/DOT, DOT Package, etc. When any associated report is viewed, the Review Status will automatically be changed to Request Viewed. Reviewers will also be granted access to view/update and add attachments to the shipment by clicking on the Attachments command. Attachments associated with the Shipment, Packages in the shipment, Containers and referenced Samples will be displayed in an Attachments popup window. Additional attachments can be added via the Attach New File link. This is useful for attaching signed checklist forms, memos, or any other document. Returning with Comments If there are problems or concerns with the shipment, characterization or attached documentation, the reviewer can add a comment, which will be visible in the requestors Staged Shipment Listing. Click on the Return with Comment command and enter notes/comments/feedback, then click “OK”. Once the reviewer feedback has been submitted, the reviewer will no longer be able to access the shipment and will be removed from their StORM Review listing. The requestors Staged Shipment Listing will show a date/time stamp noting that the shipment was Returned with comment. At this point, the requestor can address the comments/feedback and go through the Request Review process again. Approving A Shipment When satisfied with the accuracy and completeness of the shipment and associated documentation, the reviewer can select “Approve” and click on “OK”. The reviewer can, optionally, provide comments or feedback to associate with the review.

< Back An Interview with our founder, Peter Tuite Dec 2, 2021 We sat down with Peter to ask him some questions about the industry, how he got his start, and more. What made you decide to start your own nuclear engineering company? Because, I had some skills that I thought could be applied. And you got to remember, when we first started, we did hazardous waste as well as nuclear waste. I had a partner, Bob, when I started, but it didn’t last very long. What were some of the biggest challenges you faced early on? Money. The first year, we went through 100k at the bank, and they called the note. That’s when Bob decided to go back to teaching (laughs) and we paid the bank off, and then I was on my own. How did RADMAN come into development? Well, I was involved in writing Part 61 before I started WMG. So, I worked with the guys at the NRC, and they had just instituted the topical report deal. So, I figured we’d put something together and submit a topical. The original RADMAN ran on a TRS 80 computer and included a dot matrix printer. What are some of the biggest changes or trends you’ve seen happen in the industry since you started WMG? There’s not much money to spend. Utilities are spending less money, there’s a larger focus on economics than there was before. Remember, they used to be able to just get automatic rate increases, which is no longer the case. And the guys in Radwaste are still pretty low on the totem pole. They don’t get the recognition in the industry that they deserve. When the NRC first started auditing plants, the guys in Radwaste had a lot more clout internally because nobody wanted to have conflict with the NRC. That is no longer the case. What is the most interesting customer support call you have ever received? (laughs) Wow. I won’t name the plant, but I trained them. In those days we used to send the code on about 5 floppy discs. And I got a call from one of the guys I trained, he was having problems with the new release. He said something along the lines of “I can get 3 of the discs in the drive, but I can’t get the fourth one in!!” What achievement are you most proud of? The longevity of the company. For it to have lasted so long, and to now have passed it on to my son. What advice do you have for younger engineers who are just starting out? Put in the time and know the subject better than anybody else you deal with. Be the smartest person in the room on the subject at hand. Where would you like to see WMG in another 10 years? (laughs) Around. I’d like to see us keep doing what we do, continuing to excel in engineering and software. Previous Next
