Funding Opportunities and Solicitations
Advanced Reactor Research and Development FOA
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) sponsors a program of research, development, and demonstration related to advanced non-light water reactor concepts. A goal of the program is to facilitate greater engagement between DOE and industry. During FY12 DOE established a Technical Review Panel (TRP) process to identify R&D needs for viable advanced reactor concepts in order to inform DOE-NE R&D investment decisions. That process involved the use of a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit concept information from industry and engage technical experts to evaluate those concepts. Having completed this process, DOE desires to conduct a procurement action to partner with industry to conduct cost-shared R&D for selected technology needs identified by the TRP process. The intent of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to solicit proposals to conduct such cost-shared R&D activities.
Request for Proposals for High Burn-up Fuel Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project
The Department of Energy is seeking proposals for its High Burn-up Fuel Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project. This project will include the design and implementation of a high burn-up, large scale, long term, dry storage cask research and development project for spent nuclear fuel. Proposals are due by March 5, 2013.
