DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance: Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation

AGENCY: Idaho Operations Office, Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(A) and (D) it plans to negotiate Cooperative 
Agreement DE-FC07-94ID13303 with Stone & Webster Engineering 
Corporation, Boston, Massachusetts.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Linda A. Hallum, Contract Specialist, (208) 526-5545; U.S. Department 
of Energy, 850 Energy Drive, MS 1221, Idaho Falls, ID 83401-1563.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The objective of the project is continue 
tests to evaluate the supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) pilot plant 
developed under Cooperative Agreement DE-FC07-88ID12711. The pilot 
plant configuration was developed to treat corrosive wastes and waste 
with high solids content. DOE has no recent, current, or planned 
solicitations under which this proposal would be eligible. The activity 
to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory continuation of an 
activity funded by DOE and for which competition for support would have 
a significant adverse effect on continuity or completion of the 
project. DOE and commercial implementation of SCWO technology will 
reduce the volume of hazardous and mixed waste currently stored and 
generated in the United States. SCWO technology is recognized as a high 
potential alternative technology to incineration, providing cleaner 
effluents and with less institutional barriers than incineration. The 
award will be for one year at a total estimated cost of $700,000. Cost 
share is anticipated to be 10% of the project costs. Statutory 
authority for this award is Pub. L. 93-577, Federal Non-Nuclear Energy 
Research and Development Act of 1974. The Federal Domestic Catalog 
Number is 81.103.
