A -- RECYCLED SHIELDED STORAGE CONTAINERS Contact Mr. T. E. Fewell. Lockheed Idaho Technologies Company (LITCO), P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3765. Lockheed Idaho Technologies Company, a management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is seeking a partnership with a private sector vendor to develop, test, and produce shielded storage containers for the storage of Remote Handled-Transuranic (RH-TRU) waste. A large quantity of these drums is required for the storage of the present INEL inventory of RH-TRU waste material. The containers will be sized to contain 30 to 55 gallon RH-TRU storage drums and will contain between 3,000 and 6,000 pounds of lead for shielding. The containers are to be fabricated from contaminated lead and stainless steel, which would be obtained from the DOE contaminated material stockpile. After the container was developed and licensed, it would have applications for the storage and handling of other radioactive material. LITCO is seeking partners with contaminated metal melting, forming, and fabrication expertise; and the financial and organizational structure to participate in the commercialization of the technology after the development phase. The solicitation will close to responses 30 days after publication. Interested parties should send their appropriate supporting information describing their company and their capabilities to: Mr. T.
