A -- COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PARTNERS SOUGHT FOR RADON MITIGATION DEVICE POC Shari Zussman, Manager of Outreach, 708-242-5936. Argonne is seeking industrial collaborators for a cooperative research and development (R&D) project. The project will focus on optimization and commercialization studies related to a unique radon mitigation device that is based upon a recent Argonne discovery of a new fluid-based process that removes radon from air with high efficiency (three patents pending). Tasks for the industrial collaborator will focus on the commercialization, optimization, and mass production aspects of this new radon mitigation innovation. Argonne is under agreement to develop the device for use at two U.S. government facilities. If successfully developed, it is expected that the device will have market applications in a variety of residential, government, mining, commercial, and industrial settings for the reduction of radon concentrations in air. Argonne's contribution to the research project will be approximately $200,000 of Argonne effort in the first year. It is expected that the industrial partner will contribute a similar amount of cash and/or effort to the project. No government funds are available for the industrial partner's share of the R&D. Interested companies may request more information by writing to Radon Collaboration Manager, ITD-900, Argonne National Laboratory, 9700 S. Cass Ave., Argonne, IL, or faxing to Radon Collaboration Manager at 708-252-5230. (038)
