Nevada Operations Office; Implementation of Noncompetitive 
Financial Assistance

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 University of Michigan, Ann 
Arbor in order to continue materials research work. University of 
Michigan graduate and doctoral students have made exceptional progress 
in developing room-temperature gamma radiation detector capabilities. 
This award will enable the University of Michigan to continue making 
great strides in this field of research in producing smaller, more 
useful detection tools for the nonproliferation community. 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 
University of Michigan 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 $770,000.

    Issued in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 12, 1994.

Manager, DOE Nevada Operations Office.
