Notice Title
Tritium Storage Solutions Specification Definition and Market Research
Notice Description
UKAEA requires a solution for storing relatively small amounts of tritium. Usually, we use getter materials such as depleted Uranium and products have been purchased previously from known suppliers. What has been delivered has not been of high enough quality and we would like to understand what our options are and to make sure our specification is tight. Due to the nature of this project, there is currently no defined value for the project, and the value given is purely theoretical. The technical team would like to use this Pre Market Engagement Notice to understand what is available within the market to develop a robust specification for the future intended tender. A full scope of requirements can be seen in the attached documentation to this PMEN.
