The process of Decommissioning and DIsmantling increasingly demands methods for a full traceability of waste material to improve quality management and operational safety. Managing waste requires the acquisition and the storage of a huge amount of data: list of isotopes, dose rate, shape, visual description, origin, etc. In addition, book keeping is also important to know the quantity of a waste at all stages within the waste treatment route.

Recording these data requires a wide range of different tools which typically do not share data with each other. This aggregation work cannot be done on site for practical and safety reasons and must be done out of the site after the data acquisition phase, thus increasing the probability of human error and the time required.
