SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ROA DE-RO21-96MC33204 is amended
accordingly;
1. Research Opportunity Announcement (ROA), Applied Research and
Development, Description of Research Areas; Section 5,
Characterization, Monitoring, and Sensor Technology; Paragraph A, High-
Level Waste Tank; paragraph 2, sentence 6. The text of the sentence is
deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu
thereof:
``Devices and systems for in situ deployment must be capable of
performing in a radiation field of 5,000 rad/hr for an accumulated dose
of 107 rad.''
2. Research Opportunity Announcement (ROA), Applied Research and
Development, Description of Research Areas; Section 5,
Characterization, Monitoring, and Sensor Technology; Paragraph D, Mixed
Waste Characterization, Treatment, and Disposal; subparagraph 2, Heavy
Metal Monitoring paragraph (c). The text of the paragraph is deleted in
its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
``Sensitivity at least 5 micro grams/m3 except for beryllium
(0.5 micro grams/m\3\), lead (50 micro grams/m\3\), and selenium (50
micro grams/m\3\). The instrument would be more cost-effective,
compact, require little maintenance, and generate no waste.''
3. Research Opportunity Announcement (ROA), Applied Research and
Development, Description of Research Areas; Section 5,
Characterization, Monitoring, and Sensor Technology; Paragraph D, Mixed
Waste Characterization, Treatment, and Disposal; subparagraph 2,
Mercury monitoring paragraph (c). The text of the paragraph is deleted
in its entirety and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
``Sensitivity of at least 5 micro grams/m\3\. It would operate

paragraph 3. The text of the paragraph is deleted in its entirety and
the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
``DOE facilities are also required to examine mixed waste to verify
that the waste has been assigned to the proper matrix parameter
category (MPC) and to verify compliance with treatment/disposal
facilities waste acceptance criteria (WAC). For example, the WIPP-WAC
