DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Financial Assistance Award: University of Central Florida

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 
CFR 600.6(a)(2) it is making a discretionary financial assistance award 
based on the acceptance of an unsolicited proposal meeting the criteria 
of 10 CFR 600.14(e)(1) under Grant Number DE-FG01-95DP00102 to the 
University of Central Florida. The proposed grant will provide funding 
in the estimated amount of $619,883 by the Department of Energy for 
experimental investigation on the interaction of high intensity 
ultrashort laser pulses with dense plasmas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Energy has determined in 
accordance with 10 CFR 600.14(f) that the unsolicited application for 
financial assistance submitted by University of Central Florida, is 
meritorious based on the general evaluation required by 10 CFR 
600.14(d) and the results of these studies have potential payoff to 
both direct and indirect--drive internal fusion. The proposed project 
is technically sound and attractive. It describes research that would 
produce laser--plasma interaction data in a regime of great interest 
and current applicability to the Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) 
Program. The Secretary's recent declassification of much of the ICF 
research adds significantly to the feasibility of funding for this 
program. The program has never issued and has no plans to issue a 
competitive solicitation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Please write the U.S. Department of 
Energy, Office of Placement and Administration, Attn: Dennis Roth, HR-
531.23, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C. 20585.
    The anticipated term of the proposed grant is 36 months from the 
date of award.

    Issued in Washington, D.C. on December 5, 1994.

Contracting Officer, Office of Placement and Administration.
