Summary
Statement of Work
The document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Centrifuge Pilot Plant Deployment Study, specifically for the Domestic Uranium Enrichment Centrifuge Experiment (DUECE) project. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) requires a centrifuge pilot plant to demonstrate technical maturity of the DUECE centrifuge, eventually transitioning to enrichment of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) for naval propulsion. The SOW outlines the objectives, background, phasing process, scope and requirements, tasks and deliverables, government furnished materials/information, travel requirements, place of performance, and interfaces for the study.
The SOW details the objectives of establishing a domestic uranium enrichment capability for defense purposes and the background of the DUE program's mission to ensure a reliable supply of enriched uranium for national security missions. It proposes executing the pilot plant acquisition in four phases: deployment study, facility design and licensing, facility construction and cascade manufacture/installation, and transition to HEU production. Additionally, it specifies tasks and deliverables including an engineering options study to deploy a DUECE LEU pilot plant that can be repurposed to HEU production.
The document also includes information on government furnished materials/information, travel requirements, place of performance, and interfaces necessary for successful execution of the contract scope. It highlights the need for the contractor to interface with various organizations including NA-192 Domestic Uranium Enrichment Program, DOE Office of Classification, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and other organizations as deemed necessary by NNSA.
