Notice Title
Purchase of Two Powder Weighing/Potent Powder Cabinets
Notice Description
The Purchaser is inviting tenders on the terms set out in this further competition for the supply, delivery and installation of two powder weighing/potent powder cabinets. We seek this equipment to safely house metallurgical preparation apparatus for the manufacture of uranium oxide simulated fuel pellets and for general radioactive powder handling. The facility will be used as part of Lancaster's existing UTGARD laboratory (see below). Building on its reputation and existing facilities for internationally excellent research in advanced nuclear fuel recycle technologies, Lancaster University Engineering Department has recently been awarded a grant of PS800,000 to extend UTGARD Lab (U/Th/beta-Gamma Active process chemistry R&D facilities), a process chemistry laboratory for work on beta/gamma active fission products, uranium, thorium and low level alpha tracers. The UTGARD Lab extension will be equipped with a range of instruments, of which powder weighing cabinets/potent powder cabinets are one component, for the manufacture of nuclear materials and simulated nuclear fuel to underpin both fundamental and application driven research (including scale up) in nuclear recycle and waste management. A unique feature of UTGARD Lab is that all of the equipment to be sited in the lab will be available to external researchers for use with open source uranium, thorium, beta/gamma emitters and alpha tracers. It is anticipated that the effective operational life of the machine will be 10 years. This purchase supports the University's objective to maintain its place as a world class research establishment. This purchase must fit within a project budget of PS32000 incl. VAT. Additional information: This tender is being conducted electronically using the Lancaster University e-tendering system which can be found at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/lancaster/ To receive documents new users must first register and obtain log in details. Existing users should log in to the web site and express interest. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
