A -- BASIC RESEARCH WORK SOL IPO-95-031. Contact Jerome Jay Garcia, Industrial Partnership Office, MS K571.(505)665-4842, FAX (505)665-0154. The University of California, which operates the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies wishing to license, develop, and market a new alpha radiation detection system capable of continuously measuring concentrations of radon and other alpha-emitting isotopes in air, based on discrete detection of individual alpha decays. Potential areas of interest include, but are not limited to, devices such as an accurate and inexpensive continuous radon monitor with alarm similar to the common smoke detector for homes and other applications, a rugged hand-portable radon sniffer that may help identify points of entry of radon gas into buildings, an alpha radiation air-quality monitor that distinguishes between radon gas and other alpha-emitters, and other applications. Interestd organizations must possess existing capabilities in manufacturing, marketing and support services in the domestic marketplace. Any organization with interests in the above mentioned areas must respond with a statement of intent describing the organizations technical expertise, manufacturing and marketing capabilities, financial resources (e.g., annual report or corporate resume) and motivation for participating in this program. The statement must be dated within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of this notice. (025)
