SECTION C
DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS
PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
C.1 PROJECT TITLE: Procurement of 5B Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) Cylinders and Outer
Protective Packaging.
C.2 BACKGROUND: The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is sponsoring a three-year
demonstration of the production of High-Assay, Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU),
19.75% weight percent U-235. As part of that sponsorship, NE is committed to provide
the UF6 cylinders that will be used to store the HALEU produced by the demonstration.
The cylinders will be needed on-site at the HALEU demonstration facility in Piketon,
Ohio. Further, in order to enable off-site shipment of the filled UF6 cylinders, NE will
also procure outer protective packages licensed to carry/transport filled 5B UF6 cylinders
enriched to 19.75 weight percent U-235.
C.3 SCOPE: A total of fourteen (14) 5B UF6 cylinders with valves installed and two (2) outer
protective packages are required to be provided in accordance with ANSI standards and
NRC requirements.
C.4 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: The fourteen (14) 5B UF6 cylinders are required to be
fabricated and prepared according to ANSI N14.1 (2012), “Uranium Hexafluoride –
Packaging for Transport,” and the normative references contained therein. The 5B
cylinders shall be provided with the valves installed in accordance with ANSI N14.1
(2012) and with special attention to the cleaning and drying requirements of ANSI
N14.1 (2012) Appendix A. The government requires the certifications listed in ANSI
N14.1 (2012). The two (2) outer protective packages will be designed, fabricated, and
certified in accordance with the requirements in ANSI N14.1 (2012) and NRC
requirements for such packages.
C.5 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The contractor shall provide informational
documents and images/drawings of the product being proposed. The contractor shall
provide all documentation specified in ANSI N14.1 covering the design, fabrication, and
testing of the cylinders (with valves) and the outer protective packages.
