DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Idaho Operations Office; Notice of Availability of Solicitation
for Awards of Financial Assistance
AGENCY: Idaho Operations Office, DOE.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of Solicitation Number DE-PS07-
99ID13812--Boxed Waste Form Nondestructive Assay Development and
Demonstration
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho Operations Office,
is seeking applications for cost-shared research, development and
demonstration of innovative technologies which will enhance economic
competitiveness, increase technical capability, and minimize resource
expenditure associated with the characterization of radioactive
material constituents in large volume (boxed) waste forms via
nondestructive assay (NDA) techniques. Characterization shall include
constituents entrained in both low level, alpha contaminated low-level,
and transuranic contaminated boxed wastes. The proposed techniques must
constitute an innovative system that accommodates the majority of waste
forms residing in the inventory, including plutonium, uranium and
fission products. The nondestructive assay technique must be able to
quantify these radioactive material species in various mixtures over
the spectrum of waste matrix configurations, e.g., high density
matrices, heterogenous matrix compositions, etc. The three major phases
include 1) design, 2) fabrication of the system and software
development, and 3) testing and demonstration. The technology holder
must cost share a minimum of 40% of the development phase of the
project.
DATES: The deadline for receipt of applications is 2:00 p.m. Mountain
Time July 22, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Applications should be submitted to: Trudy A. Thorne,
Procurement Services Division, U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho
Operations Office, 850 Energy Drive, Mail Stop 1221, Idaho Falls, Idaho
83401-1563.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The solicitation was issued pursuant to 10
CFR 600.6(b). DOE anticipates awarding a cooperative agreement with a
project period of two years. The awardee is required to provide a
minimum of 40% cost share on the development phase of the project.
The statutory authority for this program is Public Law 95-91 and
Public Law 105-245. The issuance date of Solicitation No. DE-PS07-
99ID13812 is on or about June 21, 1999. The solicitation is available
