In November, 1974, the Environmental Sciences Department within REECo requested
our assistance in the design of a system for the Nevada Applied Ecology Group
(NAEG).
We have summarized the efforts expended by both the REECo departments

Systems Effort in the PIDP and NAEG Data Base
In March, 1974, the Environmental Sciences Department requested our services
to design a system for the Plutonium Inventory and Distribution program (PIDP).
Data gathering and analysis for the PIDP was almost completed; therefore,
early in our design effort, we established procedures to encode the data for
ADP processing.
Having the data in machine-readable form allowed the creation
of the data base to parallel the system design for the PIDP.
Later, ERDA/NV suggested the data base be expanded to accept other NAEG data
studies.
A brief review indicated there were many facets of data which could
be included in this data base.
Recognizing the extent of the data available,
ERDA/NV formally requested a feasibility study which was to include all NAEG
data:
Distribution and Inventory, Resuspension, Large Animal, REECo FIDLER,
Small Animal, and Vegetation data.
The study was completed in December, 1974;
however, it was agreed not to include the LLL Resuspension, EPA Large Animal,
or REECo FIDLER data at this time.
Along with the feasibility study, we continued to separately add data to the
preliminary NAEG and PIDP data bases.
Several months later, an addendum
feasibility study was requested and received by ERDA to provide cost estimates
to include REECo FIDLER and Large Animal data into the NAEG common data base.
