Other Information

NNL is requiring RFI responses for a supplier to investigate the formation of yield strength in settled ZM beds and determine parameters that impact the experimentally observed differences in yield stress. The task should aim to determine a reason for the behaviour and potential mechanism. Furthermore, it would be advantageous if the conditions which promote unwanted high yield stress is identified for nitric acid-based solutions. Responses to the attached RFI document should be sent to david.brown@uknnl.com before 17:00pm 8th March 2024. Responses to the RFI should be sent to david.brown@uknnl.com before 17:00pm 8th March 2024. RFI Document NNLC542 RFI V2.docx
