Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho Field Office is soliciting information, comments, and recommendations from the nuclear energy research community to help identify and prioritize infrastructure needs, capabilities, and opportunities. This Request for Information (RFI) is intended to guide the development of future work scopes and potential funding opportunities related to nuclear energy research, training, and technology demonstration infrastructure.
The DOE is particularly interested in creative, cost-effective approaches to revitalizing and expanding U.S. nuclear research capabilities, including but not limited to research reactors, experimental facilities, advanced instrumentation, and collaborative infrastructure models. Input from a broad range of stakeholders—including universities, national laboratories, industry, and international entities—is encouraged.
Note: This RFI does not provide direct funding or guarantee future awards. It is a market research tool to inform DOE planning and program development.
