Technical note: CREDO: The centralized reliability data organization: A data base and data analysis center for advanced reactions

The Centralized Reliability Data Organization (CREDO) is a database and data analysis center that focuses on reliability, availability, and maintainability data from advanced reactors. Sponsored by the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Breeder Technology Projects, CREDO is located at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The primary functions of CREDO are collection, screening, cataloging, storage, retrieval, analysis, and dissemination of reliability, availability, and maintainability data for advanced reactors. CREDO's two primary data sources are the Fast Flux Test Facility in Richland, Wash. , and the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
