> Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under contract to the Department of
> Energy (DOE), is seeking industrial partners to participate in the
> commercialization of its Sequence Comparison and Analysis (SCAN 1.0)
> software. SCAN is a tool for searching databases of DNA, cDNA, RNA, or
> protein sequence information and finding matches to a target sequence.
> Rather than searching the databases directly, however, SCAN takes as
> its input the output of genetic analysis tools such as BLAST, FASTA,
> Smith/Waterman, and GRAIL. As its output, SCAN gives a concise report
> that integrates results from multiple database searches. SCAN reduces
> redundant matches to repetitive sequences to a short summary and
> provides a measure of the quality of these matches. SCAN greatly
> facilitates the interpretation of regions of database matches by
> automatically processing existing annotation associated with the
> matched databases sequences to characterize the regions as coding,
> intron, Alu, L1, EST, repetitive, vector, E.coli contamination, etc.
> Multiple database matches to the same query sequence region are
> combined into a multiple sequence alignment in the output reports. SCAN
> generates three output formats including HTML with World-Wide Web
> hot-links to public databases and is written in the "C" programming

> 667-6296. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has issued a request
> for qualifications for a Radioactive Liquid Waste Treatment Facility --
> TA-53. BACKGROUND -- Radioactive liquid waste (RLW) is generated during
> accelerator operations at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
> Technical Area (TA)-53. Accelerator operations are managed by the
> Accelerator Operations and Technology (AOT) Division of LANL. The RLW
> stream contains tritium and short-lived radionuclides and may
> potentially contain heavy metals and organics. The RLW stream is
> currently managed by allowing radionuclides to decay in TA-53 holding
> tanks, followed by discharge into lagoons where passive evaporation of
> the water occurs. LANL intends to discontinue use of the lagoons, and
> as a result, a new RLW treatment scheme must be developed and
> implemented. The system functions include: collection/segregation,
> storage treatment, transportation offsite (if required), disposal of
> final waste form(s), and sampling/analysis. SCOPE -- LANL is issuing
> this Request for Qualification for addressing radioactive liquid wastes
> generated at TA-53 by LANL AOT Division. Work includes treatment of
> radioactive liquid waste and disposal of any secondary waste streams.
> All secondary waste streams must be disposed of at approved disposal
> facilities. The overall function of this project is to cost-effectively
> and properly manage the radioactive liquid waste generated by AOT. The
> unit operations comprising the treatment system will be recommended by
> the vendor. Discharge of treated wastewater at TA-53 will not be
