DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Number DE-PS03-02SF22516]
Solicitation for Financial Assistance Applications; Nuclear
Explosion Monitoring Research and Engineering Program
AGENCY: National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Oakland
Operations Office, Department of Energy (DOE).
ACTION: Notice of solicitation for financial assistance applications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The DOE/NNSA, through the Oakland Operations Office is seeking
applications to increase nuclear explosion monitoring effectiveness
through improved understanding of basic earthquake and explosion
phenomenology. Research of a fundamental nature is sought to answer the
question of how the seismic energy is generated from these phenomena
(including distributed and single point explosions, double-couple
earthquakes and other modes of rock failure) and how this energy is
partitioned between P and S waves.
ADDRESSES: The formal solicitation document, Nuclear Explosion
Monitoring Research and Engineering Program (DE-PS03-02SF22516), is
available through the Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS)
located at the following URL: http://e-center.doe.gov. IIPS provides
the medium for disseminating solicitations, receiving financial
assistance applications and evaluating applications in a paperless
environment. Completed applications are required to be submitted via
IIPS. Individuals who have the authority to enter their university or
academic institution into a financial assistance award and intend to
submit applications via the IIPS system must register and receive
confirmation that they are registered prior to being able to submit an
application on the IIPS system. An IIPS ``User Guide for Contractor''
can be obtained by going to the IIPS Homepage at the following URL:
http://e-center.doe.gov and then clicking on the ``Help'' button.
Questions regarding the operation of IIPS may be e-mailed to the IIPS
Help Desk at IIPSHelpDesk@e-center.doe.gov or call the help desk at
(800) 683-0751.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gloria Abdullah-Lewis, Contract
Specialist, U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security
Administration, 1301 Clay Street (Room 700N), Oakland, CA 94612-5208;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Research of a fundamental nature is sought
to answer the question of how the seismic energy is generated from
these phenomena (including distributed and single point explosions,
double-couple earthquakes and other modes of rock failure) and how this
energy is partitioned between P and S waves. Specifically:
How is the generation and partitioning of the seismic
energy affected by properties such as (1) source region medium and
overburden, (2) the local structure and (3) the surrounding tectonic
province;
What are the significant measurable effects of the
partitioning of the seismic energy into various regional P and S
phases, especially at high frequency; and
What is the physical basis for a measurable property, such
as magnitude that can be directly related to the yield of a
fullycoupled explosion, and how do emplacement conditions effect the
observation?
The solicitation document contains all the information relative to
this action for prospective applicants. The North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) number for this program is 5417.
Issued in Oakland, CA, on April 2, 2002.
