Buckley C. Nielson

  6. Institutional ESH Related Support • Resources from the Lab ESH and Support Organizations are needed to support the following phases; • Ongoing “design review” activities • Ongoing operations & construction support (NSLS and NSLS-II) • BORE’s • Equipment/instrument readiness reviews • Authorization Basis documentation development & review • ARR’s • Commissioning • Beam line development & commissioning • NSLS-II operations • Decommissioning - 725 Transition to Ops

  7. Progress - Radiation Safety Workshop • June 22-23, 2010 (third workshop) • Participants – ALS, APS, SSRL, ESRF Chaired by Paul Berkvens • Outcome: • Followed up on recommendations made at previous workshops (3/07 & 4/08) all prior recommendations closed, (15 from this workshop) • Provided feedback and lessons learned on workshop topical areas, beam line installation and accelerator commissioning • Received Committee’s concurrence that strategies for radiation safety for NSLS-II are sound and moving in the right direction “The committee is highly impressed with the progress that has been made to-date in working and resolving radiation safety issues for design and commissioning of NSLS-II since the last workshop”

  8. Progress - Area Monitors • Locations for area monitors have been planned for Linac, Booster, Storage Ring and beam enclosures (~60 units) • Area monitors will provide warnings locally and in control room and be interlocked to injection through PPS for high alarms • Monitors from 3 prospective vendors have been purchased, installed and tested at NSLS for. Testing included: • Comparison between units • Determine response to short pulse length radiation during injection • Evaluate long term stability of detector and reliability of unit • Permit better specification of units for final procurement • Two phase procurement: • 3 units procured Fall 2010 for Linac commissioning • Additional 52 units procured Spring 2011 for Booster and Storage Ring commissioning (award April 2011) Mirion, Apantec, HPI

  9. Progress - ESH Operations • NSLS ESH Operations and NSLS-II Operations are now combined • Includes significant footprint increase (research and development, assembly areas) • 725 – NSLS – 162,156 ft2 (Exp floor = 123,644 ft2) • 726 – NSLS - Mechanical Tech Support 3519 ft2 • 727 – NSLS – Mech/Magnet Measurement 3519 ft2 • 729 - NSLS Source Development Lab – 8018 ft2 • 902/905 – Magnet test and assembly, vacuum – 22,690 ft2 • 703 – Experimental Facilities Division, 9 new labs – 7,360 ft2 • 945 – Vacuum lab – 4,068 ft2 • 832 – RF development, magnetic measurement – 7,895 ft2 • 820 – Front Ends Diagnostics – 5,700 ft2 • Risk well understood & Controlled – lab work, mechanical • Assembly, chemicals, haz waste etc. • Work processes covered by 24 Project Safety Review Forms (PSRF’s) fully implemented

  10. Progress - Construction Safety • Contractor performing better than industry average • Many programmatic enhancements & best practices; • Increased use and detail of PHA’s • Increased communications – daily ESH planning mtgs; weekly ESH Mgmt mtgs; monthly ESH group mtgs, schedule and coordination mtgs with ESH. • Modified Safety Incentive – workers receive 90% • On site medical provider – NYS trained EMT’s • Drug screening, pre-employment and post-incident/cause • Construction safety assessment – contractor and NSLS-II

  11. Progress-Transition from Construction • Laboratory Beneficial Occupancy Readiness Review process will be used • Officially turns over sections of facility to allow machine installation • Specific NSLS-II BORE Plan in place that; • Defines scope • Establishes schedule • Identifies resources • Baseline BORE’s start Feb 2011 and go through June 2012 total of 10 BORES to match construction phases • Pre-BORE’s started Nov 1, 2010 (phase walk downs)

  12. Risk Analysis & Management

  13. Injury Summary • Operations: • 3/10/09 Recordable – Technician infection from splinter • Construction: • 7/16/09 Recordable – sub-contractor moving conduit chipped tooth • 9/30/09 DART – sub-contractor broken leg from rebar impact • 2/22/10 Recordable – sub-contractor fractured finger tip • 4/22/10 Recordable – sub-contractor cut leg with hammer claw • 7/26/10 DART – sub-contractor cut palms moving decking • 10/21/10 DART – sub-contactor pulled back muscle

  14. Project Safety Record (through December 2010) DART’s also count as TRC’s for rate calculations

  15. Recommendation Status • Continue to evaluate and improve oversight of contractors and subcontractors and their contractor and subcontractor ES&H programs. Closed • The project should begin planning now for the required safety readiness reviews (internal) for beam line commissioning. Closed (will cover in later presentation) • The renegotiation of the safety incentive on the ring building should be completed. Closed • New safety incentive should be included in the LOB procurement. Closed

  16. FY11 Goals • Development of the Linac and Booster Commissioning SAD’s, ASE’s and supporting documentation • Coordinate the BORE’s for transition to construction and manage findings • Develop acceptance and readiness processes for equipment installation • Provide ESH support for the radiological safety design of beam lines; design of the supplementary shielding; Personal Protection and Equipment Protection systems • Finalize area monitor testing/selection and initiate procurement • Maintain improving trend in construction contractor(s) performance and quickly bring the new prime up to a best in class level

  17. Issues • Coordination of prime construction contractors (Torcon & EWH) will need consistency of ESH implementation • Laboratory resources to support Transition to Operations will need to be managed • Increase in number of beam lines (and BL reviews)

  18. Summary • ESH Program is well defined and documented • ESH Staff is well qualified and in place • Performance metrics are trending positively • Early deficiencies in construction safety program implementation have been addressed and processes are in place to move forward safely with minimum risk • On track with authorization basis process including BORE, SAD’s and ASE’s • Program is continually improving & incorporating Lessons Learned
