SRNL/SRS Task Order Research
Through a subcontract agreement with the Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), the Management and Operating Contractor for the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and the Savannah River Site (SRS), SCUREF oversees a Task Order program for the research universities in South Carolina. The Task Order program has a long history of linking highly talented faculty members and students in projects that benefit the mission goals of SRS, while supporting the research and educational goals of the universities in South Carolina. Recent projects have included: Examination of the Electrical Properties of Micro- and Nano-scale Properties in Weak Electrostatic Felds; Tritium Supply Chain Modeling and Analysis; and Development and Implementation of Introductory Courses in Nuclear Safeguards. Annual funding for the task orders have, at times, reached close to 1M a year.
