Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 18 / Friday, January 29, 2021 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES and ions; high power targets for secondary beam generation; precision xray optics; particle and radiation detectors, and advanced accelerator concepts. It also includes materials such as superconducting sheet, wire, and cable; permanent magnet materials; materials for laser and x-ray optics and coatings; photocathode materials and structures for polarized electron sources; and materials for particle detectors. The transfer of high technology from academic and research use into industrialized production for broader use is a vital step towards reducing cost and increasing reliability of particle accelerators generally. Collaborative models of accelerator R&D, publicprivate partnerships, cooperative research and development agreements, Small Business Innovation Research programs, and industrial R&D are but a few of the critical mechanisms that move technology from concept to practice. Request for Information: The objective of this request for information is to gather information about the current marketplace of particle accelerator technology, and to explore opportunities, possible partnerships, and mechanisms to strengthen the domestic supply chain. 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. A summary of the comments provided will be made public. The DOE Office of Accelerator R&D and Production is specifically interested in receiving input pertaining to any of the following questions: Status and Future of the Market 1. What are the current industrial applications of particle accelerators and closely related accelerator technologies (see previous description)? What is the approximate size of these markets? 2. What are the emergent industrial applications of particle accelerators and closely related technologies? 3. Are there specific aspects of the current market that pose challenges to maintaining a viable accelerator technology business? 4. Are there specific aspects of the current market that inhibit technology transfer and/or the introduction of new accelerator technologies? Models for Technology Transfer 5. What mechanisms are currently in use to transfer technology innovations to industrial practice in your technology area? VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:43 Jan 28, 2021 Jkt 253001 a. What aspects of these mechanisms are effective? b. What opportunities exist to improve these mechanisms? c. How widely known or easily accessible are these mechanisms? 6. Can you describe previous examples of successful technology R&D partnerships or mechanisms? Why, specifically, were these partnerships or mechanisms successful? 7. Can you describe examples of failed technology partnerships or mechanisms? Why, specifically, did these attempts fail? 8. Are there new models of technology transfer that should be explored? Workforce Development 9. Do present training mechanisms such as SULI,2 post-baccalaureate programs in accelerator science & engineering, Traineeship Programs,3 USPAS,4 and the Energy I-Corps 5 meet the workforce needs for industry, academia, and the national laboratories? a. What aspects of current training mechanisms could be improved? b. What additional mechanisms could be used to improve overall workforce expertise and readiness? Defining an Optimal Federal Role 10. What mix of institutions (industrial, academic, lab, government) could best carry out the required technology transfer R&D, and who should drive the R&D? 11. What collaboration models would be most effective for pursuing joint technology R&D? 12. How could accelerator technology R&D efforts engage with other innovation and manufacturing initiatives, such as Manufacturing USA? 6 13. At what point in the technology transfer and subsequent manufacturing development cycle would federal support no longer be needed? 14. How best can integrated production know-how for niche market technologies be preserved once highquality sustainable production has been achieved? 15. What metrics should be used to assess the progress of an accelerator technology transfer effort over the short term (e.g., 1–2 years) and long term (e.g., 5 years or more)? 2 https://science.osti.gov/wdts/suli. 3 https://uspas.fnal.gov/opportunities/ educational-opps/DOE-traineeships.shtml. 4 https://uspas.fnal.gov/index.shtml. 5 https://energyicorps.energy.gov/. 6 See https://www.manufacturingusa.com/for a program description. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7549 Other Factors 16. Are there other factors, not addressed by the questions above, that impact the successful transfer and industrialization of accelerator technology? Depending on the response to this RFI, a subsequent workshop may be held to further explore and elaborate the opportunities.
