Actually, they may be. If they advertised for a NEW unit (WB8) they would have a much tougher time doing a sole source. Note that I don't actually believe they ARE going on to WB8, but I would be HUGELY pleased to be wrong on this one!
PS: Does anyone have the ability to get the auto updates on this one? I haven't seen ANY financials from any of the past pre-solicitations either. Were the 10k? Were they 200k? I don't know. Does anyone?

An ion gun, some instrumentation, and now some funds to fire up WB-7 again, and make some measurements, I would presume.
Being able to compare WB-7 (puffing gas) to WB-7 (w/ion gun) should be worthwhile, and if it hasn't been done yet, better/measurements of where the neutrons come from. BB or BG.
This might mean the ion gun is finished and now will be installed.... ?
