Amendment/Modification posted Jun 3, 2019: 1) Q: Where is the 40 metric ton requirement for transport coming from? Is it the standard road transport limit for our national highways or is it the delta between the cargo weight capacity of a C-17 aircraft and the weight of the truck that will transport the reactor CONEX container? A: The 40 ton weight limit is based on a variety of factors related to ease of transportability. 2) Q: What vehicle (truck) models were you anticipating to carry a shipping container weighing 40 ton? We would like to create a realistic graphic and we want to use practical truck models. A: The Army's semi-trailer is the DRS Technologies M1000. 3) Q: From an operations perspective, is there value for a remote monitoring system, in addition to on-site personnel? Would you control multiple generators on a site from a central "control panel" or would you want to have individual control panels for multiple MNPPs on the site? Also would you have interest to monitoring multiple sites? If so, would you lean on the vendor for technology or do you already have technology that must be used to obtain data from the reactor? A: The RFS calls for "minimal operator interaction required, while also providing for monitoring", and it will be up to the vendor to determine how best to achieve this. The vendor will be required to provide their own technology for any remote monitoring. In addition, the number of monitoring sites is up to the discretion of the proposer. 4) Q: I understand there is a 10MB size restriction for the email. Does this preclude submitting more than one email? For example, if the Technical Volume 12MB, can I break the file up into two emails, possibly one that includes the 50 pages and another email that includes the uncounted page appendices such as the resumes and SOW? A: Multiple emails may be sent. However, it is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure all emails have been received.
