The intent of this Performance Specification is to establish minimum performance and quality requirements for the system to ensure that it will meet the specialized needs of the Failure Analysis Lab. This document is intended to allow for construction variables, provided that the specified minimum requirements for function, capabilities, design, quality, and training are met.

The contractor shall submit all documentation necessary to determine if the requirements of, but not limited to, this specification are met. The quotation package shall include an itemized response to each of the following requirements along with a reference list of current system users and their contact information.

2.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

The system shall meet all the Military, Federal, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and National

Electrical Code (NEC) standards/specifications in affect on the date the quote is provided. The system shall be compliant with the requirements of NAVSEA S0420-AA-RAD-010, Radiological Affairs Support Program Manual.

3.0 DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General: The SEM System shall be a complete and functional system consisting of an SEM source capable of variable pressure operation, a sample manipulator, control computer(s), and video monitors, plus all features and accessories required by this specification. The operator shall be able to easily control all functions for attaining and viewing an SEM image while manipulating the sample specimen in near real-time using a motorized stage and dedicated knob set controls for magnification and focus.

3.2 System Requirements: The following utilities are available on-site:

3.2.1 Electrical Power for the SEM system at 110V and 220V, 60 Hz, or 230V, 3 phase (standard

United States power sources). Any need for power filtering or other protection mechanisms for the system may not be available on site.

The SEM shall operate properly with the aforementioned facility services. Additional site utility requirements shall be listed in the submitted quotation.

3.3 Construction and Warranty

3.3.1 Materials, Processes, and Parts: The SEM System shall utilize standard commercial parts, components, wiring, and hardware wherever practical to preclude costly delays in procuring special items. All hardware and material shall be new and not consist of refurbished or salvaged items.

3.3.2 Hazardous Materials: The use of any material considered to be hazardous to human health shall be properly identified and documented.

3.3.3 Workmanship: The SEM shall be fabricated and finished in a professional manner. Particular attention shall be given to freedom from blemishes, defects, burrs, and sharp edges; cleanliness;

accuracy of dimensions; radii of fillets; marking of parts; appearance of soldering, brazing, welding, riveting, painting and wiring; alignment of parts; and tightness of threaded fasteners.

3.3.4 Cooling: All components of the SEM shall be air cooled or operate on a closed loop cooling system. There is no exhaust port available for use.

3.3.5 Warranty: The contractor shall provide a minimum warranty of all delivered items of 12 months from installation, checkout and final acceptance by NUWC Keyport personnel, as provided by standard commercial warranty. The warranty shall include parts, labor, shipping and travel costs for a service engineer. The recommended list of spare parts shall also be included in the purchase order.

The equipment shall be constructed to eliminate any danger to personnel from radiation exposure, protruding moving parts, accidental contact with energized circuit components, or other sources during normal operation and maintenance operations.

3.6.2 Equipment Safety

3.6.2.1 Where appropriate, the SEM system shall be protected against damage using common types of protective devices such as fuses, pressure relief valves, shear bolts, or loss of pressure interlocks, in order to prevent system damage when components and component systems fail, or from power failures, transient voltage spikes, and power interruptions.

3.6.2.2 Caution - Warning Plates - “Caution” or “Warning” plates shall be securely attached to system components in visible locations, with any safety precautions to be observed by the operator or maintenance personnel permanently marked on the plates.
