A -- RADIOANALYTICAL ANALYSES DUE 063095 POC Bill Karleskind! (510) 422-7503 The University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, seeks sources for potential analytical laboratories that would be interested in performing radioanalytical analyses. The required matrices for these analyses would be sea water, water with high Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), sediment, and solids (fish/aquatic biota), for the analysis of 226Ra and 228Ra nuclides with a required detection limit of 0.01 pCi/g. This work will require gamma spectrometry and may also include Photon Electron Rejecting Alpha Liquid Scintillation (PERALS), Alpha Spectroscopy, or liquid scintillation counting. LLNL is developing a specific radium method for these matrices for an outside customer and resulting contract work would originate with that customer and not the University of California, although LLNL will serve as the technical lead for this work. The intent of this study is to assess for our outside customer the commercial viability and reliability of the method currently under development. Participation in performance evaluation programs (Environmental Measurements Laboratory and Environmental Monitoring Surveillance Laboratory) is preferred but lack of participation will not disqualify a laboratory from participating in the study. Interested firms should respond with a description of qualifications with respect to the foregoing or related fields. Responses are required on or before June 30, 1995. For further information contact Dr. Howard Hall, E-Mail address hlhall@llnl.gov, or telephone (510) 422-7446, fax (510) 423-2946. The address is: c/o Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, P.O.
