CX-270151: Test and Evaluation Support - United States (U.S.) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) Assessments Directorate (ASD)

The potential smuggling of special nuclear materials (SNM) and other radiological materials poses a significant threat to national security. To address these threats, critical technologies need to be researched, developed, and evaluated to secure the borders of the United States (U.S.). The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) maintains Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and the capabilities to research and test radiological and nuclear detection equipment and facilities to handle radiological and nuclear materials in quantities and configurations specified by Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) testing needs. Under the proposed action, INL would provide consulting, modeling, technical support, and Testing and Evaluation (T&E) support (including research activities such as test plan development, test execution, radiological and nuclear material handling, operation and maintenance of test bed venues, and test data management) to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) DNDO Assessments Directorate (ASD).
