Description

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions intend to negotiate a sole source contract with the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a project entitled Radiation Embrittlement Damage Analysis and Predictions. This proposed contract is a follow-on to Contract No. NRC-04-94-049 with UCSB. In this effort, the contractor shall develop and verify physical models based upon fundamental mechanisms for radiation embrittlement, and correlations needed to update the calculational procedures for predicting changes in toughness of irradiated pressure vessels given in Regulatory Guide 1.99 and as related to pressurized thermal shock. This procurement is being pursued on a sole source basis because the principal investigator, Dr. Odette, has unique expertise in this area of research needed for successful completion of the project. In addition, UCSB has unique facilities in order to carry out the research. The period of performance will run for three years. See numbered Note 22.
