Construction of Pipe Coating Facility in Snezhinsk:DOE/NNSA Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) Program

摘要

The Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) Program is a nonproliferation programrnwithin the National Nuclear Security Administration of the United States Department of Energyrn(DOE/NNSA).rnGIPP’s mission is to prevent the migration of WMD scientific expertise on a global basis to keeprnterrorists and/or states of concern from exploiting this expertise to acquire WMD capabilities.rnThis is accomplished through two program components:rn? IPP: Scientist engagement and redirection through commercialization projects withrnindustry partnerships, andrn? NCI: Infrastructure and workforce transition through business development and training.rnThe Snezhinsk Pipe Coating Facility (PCF) is a GIPP/Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI) project basedrnon a partnership between Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Snezhinsk Energy SavingrnTechnologies (SEST) Company. This project started with development of a Business Planrnincluding market research and technical analysis. Following a review and approval of thernBusiness Plan by the NCI Program, activities for designing of the facility have been initiated inrn2002 with support of Snezhinsk city entities.rnThe construction and equipment installation activities have been accomplished. The equipmentrnwas purchased. The final installation activities for the production equipment are scheduled for thernwinter of 2004-2005. Commissioning and start of full-scope operation of the plant is planned forrnSummer-Fall of 2005.
