NEW DOE TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT INITIATIVE Category: A Date Published: March 7, 1997 Contact: Technology Deployment Initiative (TDI), c/o Ms. Susan Prestwich, 502 S. Woodruff Ave., Idaho Falls, ID 83401, fax (208) 528-2401, or e-mail tdi@wpi.org. Synopsis: ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW DOE INITIATIVE. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science and Technology (OST) is sponsoring new Technology Deployment Initiative (TDI) to assist DOE sites in deploying cleanup technologies. This initiative is managed by the Idaho Operations Office (DOE-ID). On March 7, 1997, DOE ID issued call for proposals from DOE Operations Offices to implement technologies or processes for environmental cleanup. Parties that own or are aware of new or existing cleanup technologies or processes that can address environmental problems at DOE sites are encouraged to contact specific "problem holder" site with the intent to support DOE proposals to the TDI. Technologies to be considered by the TDI must be ready for field implementation, capable of accelerating site cleanup, lead to significant overall cost reduction, deployable for multiple application/sites, and include cost and performance data. DOE TDI is not seeking information on bench, laboratory or pilot scale systems. All questions and comments regarding the TDI should be mailed, phoned, faxed, or e-mailed to Susan Prestwich, DOE-ID, at the above contacts. All questions submitted prior to March 19, 1997 will be considered for discussion at the planned TDI Workshop. The TDI Workshop will be held at the Gaithersburg Hilton on 620 Perry Parkway, in Gaithersburg, MD from 8:00 AM to approximately 3:00 PM on March 27, 1997 for all interested parties. Proposed agenda will include but not be limited to: TDI mission and objectives, implementation schedule, and responses to questions submitted as of March 19, 1997. TDI information can be found on the TDI home page (http://wastenot.inel.gov/tdi/). There is a link from the TDI home page to the TECHKNOW database. Technology information can be added to the TECHKNOW databaseas a way for DOE Operations Offices and other parties to contact and participate in the development of proposals. Respondents are encouraged to post information directly on the TECHKNOW database by uploading via the Internet at http://www.gnet.org/gnet/tech/techdb/techknow.htm, calling the GNET fax-on-demand system at 1-888-GNETDOCS, or calling GETF directly at (703) 750-6401.
