Notice Information

Notice Title

Materials Irradiation in Advanced Nuclear Reactors

Notice Description

This PIN is to inform the supply chain that the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL)are seeking technologies for irradiation of materials specimens in advanced nuclear reactors, without affecting primary reactor operations for power generation. This may include, but is not limited to, targets and specimens for irradiation research, medical isotope production, materials development, and materials processing and recycling. Interested technology providers should complete and submit a Game Changers application via the Game Changers website www.gamechangers.technology. The challenge is open to any organisation who feel they can meet the technical requirements. The closing date for applications will be 12th November 2021. Interested organisations should note that the issue of this PIN may not result in a full procurement exercise being conducted. The outcome of the Game Changers challenge will determine whether a full procurement exercise will follow. We would therefore encourage any organisation which has the capability, knowledge and experience in techniques for monitoring the parameters that may be used to assess waste package condition, to respond to this PIN and visit the Game Changers (https://www.gamechangers.technology/) website for further information on the Game Changers challenge. If BEIS and NNL progress to a future procurement opportunity for technologies related to specimen irradiation in advanced nuclear reactors, the learning gathered from the Game Changers technology study may be shared with all potential suppliers, noting that commercially sensitive information will not be included.
