Summary (Newest Update)

Background This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA), operator of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) under Contract DE-SC0012704 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The National Nuclear Data Center (NNDC) at BNL coordinates, performs, and distributes evaluated nuclear reaction data for the Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) library, which is a critical resource supporting nuclear science, energy, security, and applied research. BSA seeks information from qualified organizations or individuals regarding their capabilities to support nuclear data evaluation, reaction modeling, and coordination activities to assist in assessing available technical expertise and informing potential future acquisition strategies. Work Details BSA is looking for capabilities in the following areas: 1. Coordination and technical review of nuclear reaction evaluations submitted to the ENDF library by the Cross Section Evaluation Working Group (CSEWG) and international collaborators. 2. Performance of complete or partial nuclear data evaluations for inclusion in ENDF. 3. Identification, documentation, and resolution of significant issues within evaluated nuclear data libraries. 4. Maintenance and further development of the EMPIRE nuclear reaction modeling code. 5. Training and mentoring of nuclear data evaluators and reaction modelers to support long-term workforce continuity at BNL. Place of Performance The work will be performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
