AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE), Nevada Operations Office (DOE/NV).

ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance.

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

SUMMARY: DOE/NV announces that pursuant to the DOE Financial Assistance 
Rules, 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i), it is awarding a noncompetitive financial 
assistance grant for the research of detector materials for 
nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, ATTN: Steven 
Curtis, P.O. Box 98518, Las Vegas, NV 89193-8518.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This award will provide financial support to 
the Nuclear Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology (MIT) in order to continue materials research work for 
detectors to aid nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The 
MIT graduate and doctoral students have made exceptional progress in 
refining the purity and increasing the size of crystals. This award 
will enable MIT to continue making great strides in this field of 
research. These efforts promise to be beneficial to DOE by 
significantly improving detector efficiency thereby reducing the cost.
    Eligibility for the award of this grant is being limited to the MIT 
because of their exclusive domestic capabilities and unique 
qualifications to perform the activity successfully.
    The project period of this grant is three years and will commence 
on October 11, 1994, through September 29, 1997. The total estimated 
cost of this award is $865,000.
