- Description
- Background Information Sandia National Laboratories has made an initial investment in technologies for using fuel as a radiation sensor. We've acquired data and developed conceptual designs for low cost, large volume sensitive particle tracking systems for both gamma and neutron detection. We are looking for industrial partners with proven experience in the design, manufacture and development of radiation sensing instruments as partners in development of pixelated or voxelatted sensors. Experience or partnerships with semiconductor fabs and/or photosensitive detectors is desired. Opportunity Description The objective of this collaboration would be the joint development and demonstration of a full scale prototype, moving the technology from Technology Readiness Level (TRL 2 to TRL 6), as defined by the U.S. Department of Energy. Collaborators will work with SNL on the continued development and testing of technologies and will provide a clear path to commercialization/deployment of the technology. Qualified respondents will contribute resources in phases with the first phase estimated to be 50k$, funds for subject matter specialists (as needed), and in-kind support in the form of staff and facilities capable of handling, processing, and packaging. Qualified respondents will have the option to obtain a license to the intellectual property, either nonexclusive or with a period-of-restraint, for reasonable compensation as part of the agreement. Responses should meet the DOE requirement of enhancement or accrual of economic and technological benefits to the U.S. domestic economy through the technology transfer. Sandia gives preference to a U.S. firm able to enter into a CRADA agreement with SNL to develop specific manufacturing tools and techniques for fabrication. Response Requirements Interested parties that meet the requirements provided in this announcement are invited to respond to this FBO. Any information provided in response to this FBO will not be returned. Any and all responses are voluntary and SNL will not pay for any information submitted in response to this FBO. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Responses should be emailed to msderzo@sandia.gov and should include the FBO title and submitting organization's name in the subject line. Attachment size should not exceed 5MB and only the following document types will be accepted (.doc,.docx,.pdf). Responses should be submitted electronically no later than 5:00 p.m. MDT on 4/25/17.
