About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $482,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research related to nuclear propulsion fuels and materials, ensuring the safety of astronauts and the public during launch operations, and developing modeling and simulation capabilities for nuclear systems. The grant aims to leverage the capabilities of MIT's research reactor to test and evaluate multiple environmental effects. This contract does not have a set-aside designation. MIT frequently partners with various U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to conduct cutting-edge research and provide specialized services through contracts and grants across scientific and technological fields.
Description
Challenges associated with SNP technology develop include tasks such as: design and fabrication of nuclear propulsion fuels and materials that are capable of withstanding radiation environments. Ensuring safety of astronauts and public during launch operations. Development of modeling and simulation capabilities that accurately predict performance characteristics of nuclear systems. The goal of this grant is to begin addressing some of these challenges at one of the largest university research reactors in the united states. The MIT reactor has demonstrated capability to test and evaluate multiple environmental effects.
