Background and Purpose of this Request for Information (RFI)
The Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC) in Kingston, Ontario has installed, and is licensed to operate, a 17.7kW, Safe LOW Power Kritical Experiment (SLOWPOKE-2) nuclear reactor for research and academic (teaching) purposes. Through the techniques of neutron activation, neutron radioscopy, and neutron tomography, the SLOWPOKE-2 Facility at RMCC is used to address operational needs within the Department of National Defence (DND). Further, the Facility is employed in the academic advancement of officers serving in the Canadian Forces. The reactor was installed in 1985 with an analogue (MK-2) regulating and monitoring system, which was replaced with a digital system in 2001. The digital system was updated recently (2012) using the technologies of the 2001 system. The main objective of the update was to re-constitute the documentation, the QA process and a team to support development, implementation, operation and maintenance. It was realized from the outset that the update was an interim measure to facilitate a full upgrade of the system to proven, contemporary technologies. The upgrade of the digital regulating and monitoring system is required to ensure the continued operation for at least the next ten years.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this request for information is to: 1.Determine the extent to which there exists a level of interest and expertise in industry to provide the services required to upgrade the Digital Regulating and Monitoring System, in whole or part, for the SLOWPOKE-2 nuclear reactor. 2. Allow respondents to assess and comment on the adequacy and clarity of the requirements as currently expressed. 3. Allow respondents to propose alternate methods of performing the work. 4. Provide industry with an opportunity to communicate information about the factors that RMCC should take into consideration when planning and developing the upgrade strategy. Nature of Request for Information: This is not a bid solicitation. This RFI will not result in the award of any contract. As a result, potential suppliers of any goods or services described in this RFI should not reserve stock or facilities, nor allocate resources, as a result of any information contained in this RFI.
