Construction of the IREN source Status&perspectives Status of the project in current year During months after the 19th PAC NP session main efforts were done on preparation for IBR-30 dismantling, installation of new linac and organization of transportation of IREN fuel elements from “MAYAK” plant and its storing at JINR. IBR-30 dismantling • It was delivered a shadow shielding for new storage bld. 117/6 • The set of documents necessary for licensing of the storage in Russian Agency for Radiation Safety is practically completed • But up to now it has not paid the dosimetric equipment necessary for commissioning of bld. 117/6. It can cause a derangement of full IBR-30dismantling by the end of current Linac installation • Very recently, on 11-12 March it was achieved practically planned parameters of the pulsed linac electron gun • By the end of April it was completed an assembling of linac grid with geodesic accuracy IREN fuel transportation • Transportation of the IREN fuel load is possible now only in autumn PAC NP April 2004

Construction of the IREN source Status&perspectives • But it is crucial for future of whole project an approval by JINR directorate of the realistic time-table with respective firm annual financing. • The last point depends essentially from finding of new sources for support of the IREN project • A detailed consideration of the most optimistic time-table presented at NP PAC session shows that even in the case of optimal financing a start-up of IREN source may be realized not earlier than by the end of 2006 PAC NP April 2004
