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.
Section C: SIngla award of $5 million o a university
Simulation of Neutron Damage (IRP-RC)
