Description
The University has a gamma irradiator that was procured in 1994 for various applications in the field of biological sciences. With the advent of x-ray irradiators becoming more effective and flexible, they are now more popular and affordable alternatives than gamma irradiators. Indeed, coupled with inherently lower radiation risks and better safety profiles, several governments around the world, including the UK, have been encouraging the replacement of gamma irradiators with x-ray irradiators.
The University seeks a contractor to decommission the irradiator described in Section 2.2 of the ITT, the disposal or recycling of the associated HASS of Cs-137 described in Section 2.3.2 of the ITT, and the disposal or recycling of other sealed sources described in Section 2.3.3. In this respect, the University expects the contractor to remove of the irradiator and the HASS from the University site and take full ownership and responsibility of the HASS thereafter. Similarly, the contractor is expected to remove and take full ownership and responsibility of all sealed sources listed in Appendix 1.
