- Description
- IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY SEEKS INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS CAPABLE OF COMMERCIALIZING METHODS FOR RECOVERY OF DAUGHTER ISOTOPES FROM A SOURCE. Announcement: Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), operated by Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI) under contract with the Department of Energy (DOE) is soliciting a written indication of interest from industrial partners capable of developing and implementing BBWI proprietary methods for recovery of daughter isotopes from a source and delivering the recovered daughter isotopes to the medical community for clinical trials, therapeutic treatments or both, and who are interested in entering into a license agreement, research and development agreement, or both, for the purpose of developing and commercializing a method to recover daughter isotopes for human therapeutic applications. License terms would include an up-front licensing payment, minimum annual royalties and a running royalty based on a percentage of sales. A research and development agreement would be under a standard CRADA arrangement with an option for licensing subject inventions. Note: THIS IS NOT A COMMITMENT BY BBWI TO ENTER INTO EITHER A LICENSE AGREEMENT OR A COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR THESE TECHNOLOGIES WITH ANY COMPANY. A description of the technology follows: INEEL scientists have identified two distinct proprietary methods for recovery of daughter isotopes from more than 10 metric tons of source material. Both methods result in the recovery of Actinium 225 from the source material, which includes mixed thorium isotopes containing about 40 grams of Thorium 229. More details will be available to qualified companies under a nondisclosure agreement. The successful company will be expected to be capable of a) funding a pilot-plant development of one or both methods, b) funding development and operation of a commercial process for recovery of Actinium 225 from this source, and c) providing Actinium 225 to the medical community for use in clinical trials, therapeutic treatments or both. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing BBWI's Methods for Recovery of Daughter Isotopes from a Source should provide a written statement of interest which includes the following: 1) company name and address; 2) the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address for a point of contact; 3) a brief description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology; and 4) a brief description of how the company might commercialize this technology. The statement of interest should be made by US mail or e-mail and should be received within 30 days of publication of this opportunity at the following address: John R. Snyder, Ph.D., Advisory Account Executive, Technology Outreach, BBWI, P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. E-mail is snydjr@inel.gov.
