About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document related to a Department of Energy pre-solicitation for equipment to generate radiated electrical signals. The Q&A addresses technical specifications regarding the target cable setup, confirming that the cable length ranges from 50-150 feet, terminates at a neutron detector, and can have the loop antenna positioned within about 2 inches of it. It also clarifies that the spurious signals being measured are in amps (10-11 amps), not volts, and consist of discrete pulses.

This Q&A document provides additional detail to the pre-solicitation which seeks solutions for dealing with electronic noise in nuclear power plant environments, specifically focusing on equipment that can generate test signals to identify susceptible coaxial cables. The clarifications help potential vendors understand the precise technical requirements for developing portable testing devices that can simulate electrical noise conditions.

1. Approximately how long is the target cable? Can you provide a range of target cable lengths?

a. Between 50 to 150 feet for cable length.

2. How is the target cable terminated?

a. The cable is attached to a neutron detector.

3. Approximately how close to the target will (or can) the loop antenna be positioned?

a. Within about 2 inches

4. Is the statement “the spurious signals are on the order of 10-11 amps” meant to be 10-11 volts?

a. We are looking at amps not volts. The source range is discrete pulses.
