Request for quotations for independent design verification services for an overpack steel container intended for the transport of low-level waste (LLW) concrete drums. Qualified providers are invited to ensure compliance with IAEA regulations.
The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation Limited (Necsa) is seeking qualified service providers to submit quotations for independent design verification services for an overpack steel container designed for the transport of low-level waste (LLW) concrete drums. This tender requires a comprehensive design review, technical verification, and regulatory compliance assessment to ensure that the combined package meets the Industrial Package Type IP-2 requirements as defined by the IAEA SSR-6 regulations. The appointed service provider will be responsible for evaluating the overpack's design, performance under transport conditions, and overall safety case, ensuring that it effectively compensates for any limitations of the concrete drum.
The scope of work includes a detailed independent technical review of the overpack design, verification of compliance with IP-2 performance criteria, and the production of a formal independent verification report suitable for submission to the national nuclear regulator. This project not only aims to enhance regulatory confidence but also to uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance in the transport of radioactive materials. Interested bidders must demonstrate relevant experience, technical capabilities, and a commitment to impartiality in their proposals.
This tender is suitable for businesses specializing in engineering, design verification, and regulatory compliance within the nuclear or hazardous materials transport sectors. Companies with experience in IAEA regulations and safety assessments are encouraged to apply.
