Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
The Applied Research Center (ARC) at Florida International University (FIU) shall provide technical support to DOE EM in the area of environmental remediation and workforce development.
FIU-ARC’s research and technology development, demonstration and testing over the next 5 years will be in the 4 major areas of environmental cleanup operations: radioactive waste processing, soil & groundwater remediation, facility decontamination and decommissioning, and tailored information technology development for environmental management.
Project 1: Chemical process alternatives for radioactive waste. Project 1's specific tasks include: advanced topics for HLW mixing and processing; technology development and instrumentation evaluation; pipeline integrity and analysis; and corrosion protection and characterization of EM infrastructure.
Project 2: Environmental remediation science & technology. Project 2's specific tasks include: remediation research and technical support for the Hanford site; remediation research and technical support for Savannah River site; contaminant fate and transport modeling for the Savannah River site; remediation research and technical support for WIP; hydrology modeling for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP); and engineered multi-layer amendment technology for HG remediation on Oak Ridge Reservation.
Project 3: Waste and D&D engineering and technology development. Project 3's specific tasks include: waste information management system (WIMS); D&D support to DOE EM for technology innovation, development, evaluation, and deployment; knowledge management information tool; AI & big data analytics: structural health monitoring for D&D; and AI for EM problem set – soil and groundwater.
Project 4: DOE-FIU science and technology workforce development program.
Project 5: DOE-FIU science and technology workforce development program for the Office of Legacy Management.
