- Description
- Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina, for the U.S. Department of Energy, is soliciting expressions of interest from companies wishing to obtain license rights to market and distribute the following radiological detection system to commercial customers. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. WSRC also may be available to assist in further research and development of the technology under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) and/or may provide technical assistance during commercialization of the technology under a license agreement. The technology is a portable detection system that offers advanced methods for the discovery of nuclear materials, often covert, that may be contained within shipping containers, transport containers, trailers, and other enclosed areas where visual inspection may be difficult. The RadRope ? Nuclear Materials Detection System allows the inspection of multiple vertical points simultaneously along the shipping containers being inspected. Utilizing the RadRope allows an inspector to walk the length of the ship and monitor a row of containers, often times stacked three high, in a single pass. The detector provides identification of any suspect nuclear materials without the time or expense involved to perform manual inspections of nearly seven million shipping containers that pass through U.S. ports every year. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later than September 28, 2005, summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a license will be required to submit a business plan prior to licensee selection and negotiations. Company qualifications should include, but not be limited to, compatible product lines, sound product develop plan, reasonable schedule for product launch, established distribution networks, evidence of sufficient financial resources for product development and launch. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to Dale K. Haas, telephone (803) 725-4185; fax: (803) 725-4988; email: dale.haas@srs.gov; or address: Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A, Room #238, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a procurement; it is a request for parties interested in licensing opportunities only.
