  1. R2E News • Failures observed during 2011 operation (Collimation (3x), CryoPLCs (3x), QPS ISO, uFIP, PCs, UPS?, Biometry) • Detailed analysis of respective radiation level is very important to check for 2011/2012 operation • in general levels follow the predicted pattern • performed actions (shielding RR73/77, UJ76, UJ23, UJ87, relocation actions, etc…) were important • Patch-Solutions asked for by the management – the planning for those also strongly depends on the detailed analysis of radiation levels • What’s about ‘hidden failures’, e.g., communication problems caused by Ethernet switches (failing early at CNRAD), how can we analyze this?

  2. R2E News • Weekly radiation reports: Quality of reporting is very good with high quality (it was worth the effort), few things to be followed (r-factor update, BLM tables,…) • Scrubbing-Run: radiation levels much lower than anticipated -> reason: beam-gas densities remained two orders of magnitude lower (heat load on beam-screen was ‘limiting’ factor) • Radiation levels: few question marks remain: • Difference between UJ14/16 and UJ56 (FGCs don’t show counts) • Linked: thermal neutrons and R-Factor -> seems to be lower(additional TLD analysis required) • P4 levels keep rising -> possible impact to UX45 (cryogenics)?

  3. R2E News • H4IRRAD radiation tests more important than ever, long list of scheduled tests (see website) • R2E safety structure put in question by DSOs/RSOs and HSE, to be followed • Budget update upcoming • End of June (before ‘summer break’) we have to review the budget estimates (focus on 2011/12) • Iterations starts now, each responsible for a budget code has to prepare the respective analysis • LMC presentation on collimation control failure analysis (see link) • Update on P1 relocation/shielding options by Anne-Laure yesterday (see link) • R2E review to be scheduled for November
