Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices
Physics in the Office of Science, has
developed a program in Accelerator
Stewardship to serve as a catalyst in
transitioning accelerator technologies to
applications beyond High Energy
Physics.
The Stewardship Program will apply
the scientific and technical resources of
the DOE accelerator R&D program to
facilitate developing accelerator
technology innovations into practice.
Accelerator technology includes the
accelerator structures, high power radio
frequency and microwave sources and
systems, high efficiency high-voltage
pulsed-power systems, particle beam
transport using magnetic components,
and high power targets for producing
secondary beams. Sophisticated
superconducting magnets and
accelerators now routinely produce
magnetic and electromagnetic fields of
unsurpassed strength, power, and
quality. Accelerator technology also
includes computer control and
automation systems, supporting laser
systems, safety systems, and
diagnostics.
Accelerators produce high power
particle beams of electrons and protons
that have been used to generate a wide
array of intense secondary beams,
principally neutrons and photons.
Spectral control of both primary and
secondary beams has become
sophisticated, allowing beams to be
specifically tailored to meet demanding
application requirements.6
The Stewardship Program will pursue
several technical ‘‘thrust areas’’, each of
which will address an identified group
of technically related challenges that, if
solved, will result in high impact to
society.
In the process, high technology will
be transferred from the DOE accelerator
R&D program into broader use, new
public/private partnerships will be
fostered, and high quality high
technology jobs will be created.
Request for information: The objective
of this request for information is to
gather information about opportunities
for research and development of
accelerator technologies to address
national challenges in energy and the
environment.
The questions below are intended to
assist in the formulation of comments,
and should not be considered as a
limitation on either the number or the
issues that may be addressed in such
comments. All comments will be made
public.

The DOE Office of High Energy
Physics is specifically interested in
receiving input pertaining to any of the
following questions:
Application Areas With High Impact
1. What are the most promising
applications of accelerator technology
to:
a. Produce safe and clean energy?
b. Lower the cost, increase the
efficiency, or reduce the environmental
impact of conventional energy
production processes?
c. Monitor and treat pollutants and/or
contaminants in industrial processes?
d. Monitor and treat pollutants
produced in energy production?
e. Increase the efficiency of industrial
processes with accelerator- or RF/
microwave-based processes?
f. Treat contaminants in domestic
water supplies and waste water streams?
g. Treat contaminants in the
environment at large (cleanup
activities)?
h. Produce alternative fuel sources?
i. Address critical environmental or
energy related issues not already
mentioned?
2. How should Federal, State, or Local
regulators consider technologies in
determining regulatory compliance?
3. What metrics could be used to
estimate the long-term impact of
investments in new accelerator
technologies?
For Each Proposed Application of
Accelerator Technology
Present State of the Technology
4. What are the current technologies
deployed for this application?
5. Does accelerator technology have
the potential to revolutionize the
application or make possible something
that was previously thought impossible?
6. Does the US lead or lag foreign
competition in this application area?
7. What are the current obstacles
(technical, regulatory, operational, and
economic) that prevent the technology
from being adopted?
8. How is accelerator technology used
in the application?
9. Does the performance of the
accelerator (either technical,
operational, or cost) limit the
application?
10. What efforts (both public and
private, both domestic and off-shore)
currently exist to develop this
application?
11. What are the perceived and actual
market barriers for the final product?
12. What aspects of the overall
technology solution are proprietary or
likely to be developed as proprietary,
and what aspects are non-proprietary?

Defining the Stewardship Need
13. What is the present technology
readiness level (TRL) of the accelerator
technology for this application?
14. What resources (both skill and
infrastructure) are needed to advance
the technology to a prototype phase?
15. What mix of institutions
(industrial, academic, lab) could best
carry out the required R&D, and who
should drive the R&D?
16. What collaboration models would
be most effective for pursuing joint
R&D?
17. Would partnering with a DOE
National Laboratory be beneficial for the
required R&D? Which laboratories could
provide the greatest leverage?
18. Should cost sharing be considered
for a grant or contract to pursue the
R&D?
19. How should R&D efforts engage
with other innovation and
manufacturing initiatives, such as the
NNMI? 7
20. In what ways are the R&D needs
not met by existing federal programs?
21. At what point in the
manufacturing development cycle
would external support no longer be
needed?
22. What metrics should be used to
assess the progress of a stewardship
effort?
Other Factors
23. Are there other factors, not
addressed by the questions above, that
impact the successful adoption of
accelerator technology for industrial
purposes?
Depending on the response to this
RFI, a subsequent workshop may be
held to further explore and elaborate the
opportunities.
