Timeline
    Description

    The Department of Energy is seeking suppliers for equipment designed to generate radiated electrical signals, aimed at addressing electronic noise issues in sensitive measurement instruments used in nuclear plants. The primary objectives include developing a portable device capable of simulating electrical noise to identify susceptible coaxial cables early in production or maintenance processes, as well as finding faster alternatives to current mitigation methods. This initiative is critical for ensuring the reliability of measurements in environments affected by radiated electric and magnetic fields, which can induce spurious signals in sensitive equipment. Interested parties should contact Jon Ruffley at Jonathan.Ruffley@unnpp.gov for further details on this sources sought notice.

    The document discusses specifications for a target cable and its associated equipment used in neutron detection. The target cable is specified to have a length between 50 to 150 feet, terminated directly to a neutron detector. The positioning of a loop antenna relative to the target cable is notably precise, allowing for placement within approximately 2 inches of the target. Furthermore, there is clarification on signal measurements, confirming the focus on current (amps) rather than voltage (volts), specifically addressing spurious signals which are indicated to be on the order of 10^-11 amps. This document serves as a detailed technical reference for prospective bidders responding to a government request for proposals (RFP), outlining critical measurements and specifications necessary for project execution related to neutron detection capabilities. The emphasis on precision indicates a rigorous standard for technical adherence, showcasing the project's significance in governmental oversight and safety.
