DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Savannah River Operations Office (SR) Financial Assistance Award;
Intent To Award a Noncompetitive Grant
SUMMARY: The DOE announces that it plans to accept an unsolicited
proposal and award a grant to South Carolina Research Authority, 5300
International Boulevard, North Charleston, SC 29418. The project
entitled, ``The Reclamation and Reduction of Nuclear Residuals
Program,'' will be awarded for a six-month period with DOE support of
$298,602. Pursuant to Section 10 CFR 600.7(b) and 600.14, eligibility
for this award has been limited to South Carolina Research Authority as
a result of acceptance of their unsolicited proposal, and DOE has
determined that award of a grant is appropriate.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth T. Martin, Prime Contracts
and Financial Assistance Branch, U.S. Department of Energy, Savannah
River Operations Office; P.O. Box A, Aiken, SC 29802, Telephone: (803)
725-2191.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Procurement Request Number: 09-
94SR18422.000.
Project Scope: The proposed program will involve the performance of
an assessment of a concept to manage, in a comprehensive manner, the
residues from the use and production of nuclear materials in South
Carolina. The proposal includes a phased approach for the assessment,
with the first phase assessing the technical, environmental and
economic feasibility, benefits and risks regarding the reclamation and
reduction of nuclear residues. The result of Phase I will be an
assessment that will define a nuclear materials management program that
vastly improves the existing means of nuclear material storage,
handling and disposal of nuclear materials in South Carolina. The
assessment will specifically address the concept that irradiated and
contaminated materials be converted into containers that are necessary
to hold and store nuclear materials, wastes and by-products. This
assessment will further define a Nuclear Materials Management Program
centered at the Savannah River Site (SRS) that may improve the
situation regarding nuclear material storage and disposal in South
Carolina.
South Carolina Research Authority is a not-for-profit, public
corporation established by an act of the South Carolina Assembly on
April 29, 1983, to enhance the research capabilities of the State's
public and private universities, establish a continuing forum to foster
greater dialogue throughout the research community within the State,
and to promote the development of high technology industry and research
facilities in South Carolina. The proposed project is considered
meritorious and represents a unique and innovative idea and approach
which is not eligible for financial assistance under a recent, current
or planned solicitation. Based on documentation presented and
appropriate evaluation, it is determined to be in the best interest of
DOE to award a grant to South Carolina Research Authority.
Issued in Aiken, South Carolina, on: March 18, 1994.
