As the representative of the Manufacturers’ buying group, QSA has been leading the negotiations with the USDOE of behalf of industry for establishing a funding program to insure the ongoing supply of USDOE Cf-252.  Over the last several months we have worked to advance the agreement with the USDOE and to develop an industry coalition to build a fund through advance financial commitments in exchange for priority in the allocation of the USDOE Cf-252.  QSA has developed similar programs in the past and successfully lead efforts for the continued and increased supply of various isotopes.
