Description

The UKAEA is building a new experiment in which reactor materials, in particular carbon materials, will be processed. The processing system is made up of different sections, to process the carbon materials, purify the generated gas streams from radioactive species and capture and store such radioactive species separately.

Total Quantity or Scope

The graphite processing experiments aim to optimise processing of carbon materials waste formed from JET operations (HLW or ILW). The system aims to process the carbon material to liberate radioisotopes to reach satisfying low radioactivity levels (LLV or VLLW) in the remaining material.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** Scope Supply Options A) To offer an integrated laboratory solution: The identified supplier will design the full system (based on initial concept work complete by the UKAEA). The supplier will manufacture, or sub-contact manufacture required elements of the process and integrate all sub-systems for installation at the UKAEA facility as the single source prime contractor. B) Stand Alone Subsystem Supply Subsystem integration is not part of the procurement scope. Suppliers to be identified for individual or multiple subsystems only. Final integration responsibility to be completed by UKAEA. Option A is preferable providing a fully integrated ‘turn-key’ solution. If this option is not available to UKAEA, then the minimum number of required individual ‘turnkey’ sub-system contracts will be considered in order to minimize the required integration tasks to be performed by UKAEA will be considered.
