RPD anticipates that research of applications and implications of nano-enabled technology will cover the past 10 years. Under this purchase order, the contractor will apply expert skills, knowledge and abilities to research peer-reviewed national and international literature to include publications, conference proceedings, academic theses and similar materials to identify and document the following: 1) the scale (basic or applied research, piloted or demonstrated process) of emerging nano-enabled technology (medium-specific) or train of technologies; 2) a detailed description of the treatment process, range of applications to different radioactive components; 3) potential fate and transport of the nanoparticles, and associated hazards to the public and the environment; 4) operation and maintenance parameters including performance data, unit cost, etc.; 5) residual waste elements, potential long- and short-term environmental impacts and health hazards, the efficacy and limitations of each to treat radionuclide-containing waste in solid or liquid form; and 6) management/disposal of treatment residue. The Contractor shall deliver draft copies and a camera-ready copy of the final report on or before September 30, 2007.
