F -- INTEGRATED D&D TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT SOL HCET-011 DUE 013100 POC Cindy Zhang, (305) 348-6340 and Marshall Allen, (305) 348-1696 WEB: Technology Assessment Program, http://www.hcet.fiu.edu. E-MAIL: Integrated D&D Technologies, zhangc@eng.fiu.edu. The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and Technology (OST) and the Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology at Florida International University (FIU-HCET) are conducting a comparative analysis of baseline and innovative Deactivation and Decommissioning (D&D) technologies. We are currently seeking integrated systems that can perform two or more of the following tasks: (1) surface decontamination, including coating or aggressive removal from masonry surfaces (concrete or brick), and rust or coating removal from metal surfaces; (2) Equipment dismantlement, such as size reduction of gloveboxes, tanks, I-beams, plates, and pipes; and (3) Concrete structure demolition, Evaluation of the selected technologies will be conducted under standardized non-nuclear conditions at the FIU-HCET technology assessment facility in Miami, Florida. Technologies tested should be capable of being used in nuclear facilities and all demonstrations will proceed as if being applied within a nuclear facility. Although robotic or remotely controlled systems will be given emphasis, all applicable technologies are encouraged to respond. Interested firms should send an Expression of Interest (EOI) to Cindy Zhang, D&D Project Manager, Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology, Florida International University, Center for Engineering and Applied Science, 10555 West Flagler Street, Suite 2100, Miami, FL 33174, no later than 1/31/00. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED AS A RESULT OF THIS SYNOPSIS. Expressions of Interest should include the firm's address, contact name, telephone number, fax number, information on integrated technologies provided by the firm, and list of locations where these technologies have been used or demonstrated, especially within DOE or commercial nuclear facilities.
