Development of waste chargeback systems at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL)

Chargeback systems have been discussed (and cussed), tried, modified, and in some cases, successfully implemented in the DOE complex over the years. With the current emphasis on ``Doing business like a private company,`` there has been renewed interest at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) in implementing chargeback systems for waste management activities.

This paper presents the results of this effort to date
