A -- EVALUATION OF RADIOACTIVE DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGIES SOL CBD011 DUE 081000 POC Stuart K. Janikowski WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.html. E-MAIL: Stuart K. Janikowski, skj@inel.gov. IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY SEEKS INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS TO EVALUATE RADIOACTIVE DECONTAMINATION TECHNOLOGIES The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL), operated by Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC under contract with the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), is seeking one or more industrial partners to evaluate commercial, pilot-scale, or near-term radioactive decontamination technologies. Technologies are sought that will effectively strip loose radioactive contamination and fixed radioactive contamination from stainless steels and provide for a minimal amount of generated wastes. It is also preferred that the technologies be economically competitive to implement and operate, and that they can be readily adapted for remote operation. It is estimated that up to three technologies will be considered for evaluation over a one-year period of performance, funded at a level of $35,000 to $50,000, and anticipated for initiation at the beginning of calendar year 2001. Technology demonstration can be conducted at the INEEL or the Supplier's facilities, subject to negotiation and benefit to the INEEL. Follow-on funding may be provided to assist in implementation efforts for successful technologies. Companies interested in working with the INEEL to demonstrate stainless steel decontamination technologies should provide a written Letter of Interest that includes descriptions of: 1) their Corporate capability to participate in, and contribute to the proposed effort, 2) the specific decontamination technology and performance characteristics (do not include proprietary information), and 3) the state of development of the technology. Respondents are encouraged to provide ancillary documents like annual reports, resumes of key individual participants, and technical publications and patents. All letters of interest must be received within four weeks of publication of this announcement. Please send Letters of Interest to Stuart K. Janikowski, Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC, Idaho Falls, Idaho 83415-2208 or email to: skj@inel.gov. All respondents will be notified within four weeks of the closing date regarding receipt of the Letter of Interest; whereupon, those companies offering technologies of interest will be requested to submit a proposal. Preference will be given to those companies offering the most promising technologies and those willing to provide reasonable levels of cost sharing. Posted 07/10/00 (W-SN473096). (0192)
