Interested parties should send a description of their company and their interest in commercializing this technology to the following address: Gary W. Smith Sr. Account Executive Technology Transfer and Commercialization Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC P. O. Box 1625, MS3805 Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805 E-mail is smitgw@inel.gov INVENTION SUMMARY: US Patent No. 6,730,180 - Neutron Absorbing Alloys Increased reliance on nuclear energy to support the growing demand for electric power requires long-term storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Because of past and future growth, the amount of nuclear fuel elements handled has increased. To meet storage requirements, INEEL has developed a new class of advanced neutron absorbing structural alloys for use in spent nuclear fuel applications requiring structural strength, weldability, and long-term corrosion resistance. Nickel-based alloys containing gadolinium prevent thermal neutrons from initiating unwanted nuclear chain reactions, exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and possess good welding characteristics. BBWI is looking for potential licensees to manufacture and supply this material to companies working on government and commercial SNF storage facilities.
