B -- RESOURCE RECOVERY, REUTILIZATION, RECYCLING (R3) OF SHILLELAGH TACTUCAL MISSILE SOL 30-MLB-98 DUE 121897 POC Michael Brubaker -- 702-295-7606 RFI: Resource Recovery, Reutilization, and Recycling (R3) of Shillelagh Tactical Missile System Components As a portion of the Joint Demilitarization Technology Program, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is identifying resource recovery, reutilization, and recycling (R3) opportunities for the Shillelagh tactical missile system. An objective of the DOD Joint Ordnance Commanders Group Munitions Demilitarization Subgroup is to pursue R3 whenever possible and economically practical. The components of the Shillelagh and other tactical missile systems suitable for R3 opportunities include: (1) the warhead system and the metal carcass, and (2) the balance of the system, including the electronic circuitry containing precious metals, and the expended carcasses (shell casings) comprised of metal alloys. For the Shillelagh system, the warhead system contains approximately 8 pounds of Octol (75% HMX and 25% TNT), the electronic circuitry contains gold and silver, and the expended carcasses (shell casings) consist of about 24 lbs. of aluminum, high temperature steel, and magnesium. The expended carcasses contain some surface lead contamination. The electronic circuitry assemblies may be available soon, with the expended carcasses becoming available in the future. Currently, there are approximately 30,000 Shillelagh systems available for R3 opportunities. The DOD is seeking companies interested in participating in this R3 effort. Under the new Senate Bill S.936, Sec 365, parties interested in purchasing the warhead system shall be a licensed manufacturer (as defined in section 921(10) of title 18) that has a capability to modify, reclaim, transport, and either store or sell the ammunition or ammunition components purchased. Interested parties may contact M. W. Brubaker, Bechtel Nevada Corporation @ 702-295-7606 or brubakml@gwsmtp.egg.nv.doe.gov. The response deadline is September 18,1997 . (0247)
