- Description
- Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site (SRS) for the Department of Energy, solicits expressions of interest from companies wishing to license or enter into a Funds-In Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to further develop the In-Situ Production of Microbial Pigments for Metal and Actinide Immobilization. Researchers at the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) have developed a new method of rapidly immobilizing metal and radionuclide contaminants in soil over the long term without the need for excavation. Using the method of In-Situ Production of Microbial Pigments for Metal and Actinide Immobilization the ground is treated to stimulate growth of the soil's native bacteria. A polymer is also produced which promotes the immobilization of various hazardous contaminants. Tests using surfacial treatments have indicated significant decreases in the mobilization of contaminants within a one month period. Because the In-Situ Production of Microbial Pigments for Metal and Actinide Immobilization is a completely in-situ method it results in minimal disruption to both the immediate area and neighboring environment which translates into reduced costs. Any company interested in licensing this device or participating in a Funds-In CRADA must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later that 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company's business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to the Point of Contact identified in this Notice. This is not a procurement; it is a request for parties interested in Licensing this invention or participating in a Funds-In CRADA only.
