TREC: Full Traceability of Radioactive Equipment and Related Processes

TREC is since 2009 CERN’s official application used for traceability of radioactive equipment. Being fully based on the organisation’s Asset and Maintenance Management system, EAM, the radiation protection aspects for physical equipment are now managed as a completely integral part of the asset lifecycle. This paper gives an overview of the main capabilities of TREC and its growing number of modules that today not only support radiation measurements of equipment but also radioactive waste management, water release management and traceability of RP laboratory processes. The paper explains also how TREC has evolved over time from its original main focus on traceability aspects to now also orchestrating several different workflows.
