OBJECTIVES:
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 and
the Fiscal Year 2009 Appropriation, the Office of Nuclear Physics
intends to sponsor initiatives in Applications of Nuclear Science and
Technology. The primary goal of these initiatives is to pursue
forefront nuclear science research and development important to the NP
mission and that is also relevant to applications. The Office of
Nuclear Physics solicits innovative research and development
applications that are relevant to basic nuclear science research
goals, while simultaneously being relevant to existing or
next-generation applications of nuclear science. Areas of interest
include but are not limited to: a. Identification and development of
approaches to the measurement of nuclear data needed for the nuclear
energy industry and other applications; b. Measurement of neutron
cross sections and other relevant nuclear data such as decay
properties, delayed neutrons, fission yields, photon production, etc.,
required for advanced reactor fuel cycles and other applications; c.
Development of new approaches to the handling of nuclear wastes; d.
Development of new and improved instrumentation, techniques and
methods that can be applied to nuclear forensics, nuclear energy,
national defense, medicine, environmental, space exploration, finance,
commerce, radiation health physics, etc; e. Development and use of
covariances and covariance matrices to support reactor and fuel cycle
design and other applications, and to identify priorities for cross
section measurements and improved modeling of nuclear reactions.
ELIGIBILITY
All types of domestic applicants are eligible to apply under this
announcement, including universities, industry, non-profit
organizations, and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers
(FFRDCs), including DOE National Laboratories.
FUNDING
It is anticipated that a total of up to approximately $7,000,000
will be available for awards in the first year starting as early as
Fiscal Year 2009. Over the estimated five year span of these
initiatives, the total funding may be approximately $30,000,000. The
number and size of awards will depend on the number of applications
selected for award, and the availability of appropriated funds.

Alternative Isotope Production Techniques
*********
Program Number: 02783
Title: Recovery Act (ARRA) - R&D on Alternative Isotope
Production Techniques
Sponsor: Office of Science/Department of Energy
SYNOPSIS:
The sponsor is interested in receiving applications for the
research and development on alternative methods to produce and
separate stable and radioactive isotopes needed for a wide variety of
research and applications. The proposed research and development
should provide new and innovative technologies, or improvements to
existing technologies, to foster the enhanced production of isotopes
that will benefit research, and ultimately applications in medicine,
homeland security, and industry.

OBJECTIVES:
The program's mission is to develop, produce and distribute stable
and radioactive isotope products that are in short supply. Isotopes
are high-priority commodities of strategic importance for the Nation
and are essential for energy, medical and national security
applications, and basic research; a goal of the program is to make
critical isotopes more readily available to meet domestic U.S. needs.
Community-sponsored studies and workshops have identified a number of
stable and radioactive isotopes in short supply that are needed by the
research and applied sciences communities. The reliable availability
of isotopes for research is crucial for U.S. scientists to stay
engaged at the forefront of scientific advances and discoveries in
isotope-using sciences.
The sponsor provides support for initiatives for R&D on alternative
isotope production techniques, which will be dedicated to the
development of and production of stable and radioactive isotopes in
short supply. To that end, innovative research and development
applications are being solicited that will significantly strengthen
our capabilities to produce stable and radioactive isotopes. Research
at universities, national laboratories or private companies should
focus on the development of advanced, cost-effective and efficient
technologies for producing, processing, recycling and distributing
isotopes in short supply. The successful research programs should lead
to breakthroughs that will facilitate an increased supply of isotopes
and complement the existing portfolio of isotopes produced and
distributed by the Isotope Development and Production for Research and
Applications Program. Of interest also is the training of the next
generation of nuclear scientists and engineers in areas related to
isotope production.
ELIGIBILITY

FUNDING
It is anticipated that a total of up to $4,750,000 will be
available from ARRA funds over a period of up to four years for
multiple awards starting as early as Fiscal Year 2009. The number,
duration and size of awards will depend on the number of applications
selected for award, and the availability of ARRA funds. Source:
