Description

The Department of Energy, through the Naval Nuclear Laboratory, is soliciting proposals for a project focused on "Dissolved Non-Condensable Gas Testing." This initiative aims to conduct experiments that quantify the behavior of non-condensable gases (NCGs) such as nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen in water during various processes, including diffusion across steam/water interfaces, condensation, boiling, and flashing under different temperature and pressure conditions. The research is critical for advancing nuclear technology and improving operational efficiencies, with proposals due by April 8, 2025. Interested suppliers must submit a one-page Quad Chart and a five-page narrative detailing their project approach, along with adherence to disclosure protocols for sensitive information. For further inquiries, contact ATIP at ATIP@unnpp.gov.
