- Description
- RFP Documents The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Office of Second Line of Defense (SLD) established the Megaports Initiative in 2003 to screen containerized cargo for special nuclear and other radiological materials as it moves through the global maritime shipping network. To reduce the risk of illicit trafficking of these proliferation-concern materials, the Megaports Initiative installs radiation detection systems at high-volume international seaports. The Initiative is a key component of a layered, multi-agency approach designed to prevent terrorist from acquiring, smuggling, and using these dangerous materials to develop a weapon of mass destruction or radiological dispersal device that could be used in an attack against the United States or its global partners. In recognition of the fact that in today's global economy a nuclear or radiological incident at one port could adversely impact nearly every major economy, the Megaports Initiative also serves to enhance the security of the global maritime shipping system and helps protect global economic stability. In support of the Megaports Initiative and to provide the program with greater capabilities and flexibility in its mission to deter, detect, and interdict illicit trafficking in special nuclear and other radiological materials through the global maritimesystem, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is soliciting proposals to provide a mobile radiation detection and identification system (MRDIS). The RFP documents are attached to this solicitation.
