pre-application due Jan 28, 8 pm ET

Application due June 12

Invitation for full proposal should be between 6 and 9 weeks after Pre-proposal deadline

DE-FOA-0000814 (Purchase of General Scientific Infrastructure GSI) NaI array (needs to be used during first year of project) Equipment can be included in the NEUP proposal, use GSI if your equipment needs are large

It is unclear how you can decide wether to submit a GSI when equipment $$$ are small

submit at neup.gov

They recommend discussing proposals with work scope technical managers

Spikant proposal to NE R&D (4.2) and GSI ( $2 million ceiling 1:1 cost match if over $250k)

FC-4.2 Transportation

Used Nuclear Fuel disposition

FC-4.2: TRANSPORTATION Technical issues related to transportation of used nuclear fuel has been generally addressed by past industry studies. However, issues related to transportation of used nuclear fuel after prolonged storage periods provide new challenges. Key university research needs for transportation activities include:

• Materials research that would facilitate transportation of used nuclear fuel; • Structural integrity assessment for transporting used nuclear fuel with uncertainty in input considerations; • Advanced modeling approaches for radiological analyses of disruptive scenarios relevant to transportation; and • Data relevant to risk-informed cask qualification and transportation behavior of high-burnup and advanced fuels.
