DOE Awards 31 RTE Proposals, Opens FY-20 1st Call
IDAHO FALLS -- The U.S. Department of Energy - Office of Nuclear Energy
(DOE-NE) Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) has selected 31 new Rapid
Turnaround Experiment (RTE) projects, totaling approximately $1.1 million.
These project awards went to 22 principal investigators from universities, six
from national laboratories, and three foreign universities. The FY 2020 first
call is also now open for proposals. More information is available on the RTE page on nsuf.inl.gov.
The NSUF competitively selected these projects from a pool of
high-quality RTE proposals submitted during the solicitation period. Each
proposal was evaluated based on a variety of factors including technical
approach, mission relevance, and scientific-technical merit.
The NSUF, managed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL), provides
unparalleled opportunities for nuclear energy researchers. Through the RTE
solicitation, a researcher can apply for no-cost access to NSUF’s capabilities
located across the United States. These capabilities encompass irradiation,
post-irradiation examination, beamline, and high-performance computing
equipment and expertise necessary to advance the understanding of irradiation
effects in nuclear fuels and materials in support of DOE-NE’s mission.
