PRISM will run data provided by Predicus and the DOE on the facilities’ capabilities, the environment, and other factors so Predicus can recommend appropriate management plans. PRISM takes into account not only environmental issues, but budgetary and legal considerations in its calculations. It will then simulate different possibilities so the DOE can figure out what, if anything, needs to be done to improve the nuclear waste sites and prioritize those projects based on things like immediate need and available money.
GoldSim’s software was originally released in 1999, although the company was founded in its current form in 2004. The software has been adapted for risk management and planning for businesses, academic institutions, and government agencies around the world.
