MICE Allocation • Finance sheet updated to show new approved allocations. • Propose to start new sheet for this next phase of new allocations. • No Common Fund income included at present. • STFC allocations shown as mostly capital – need to agree split between capital & resource yr on yr. • ~ £3.05M for next 4 yrs except this yr £2.88M as we brought forward £170k. • STFC agreed allocation this yr excluding Universities £2.186M wp 8 resource wp 1-7 capital
Forecast Cost FY 2012/13 • Forecast costs to deliver step IV only. • Labour intensive this year. • Assumed similar income lines from previous yr for Common Fund & EU Card. • Still some work to do to trim negative margin. • Plan to monitor each month. • Final payment for AFC not included in these figures.
Step IV Focus Coil EMR Spectrometer Solenoid & Tracker
Step IV Installation • Step IV base plate installation complete. • AFC rail installation complete. • SS rail system installation complete. • Hydrogen system tests ongoing. • Preparing for Tracker single station tests - beginning 15th May. • EMR delivery delayed until beginning of November. • EMR commissioning after step IV installation.
Hydrogen System • Helium tests well underway, currently liquefying the helium, aim to complete by 18th May. • Hydrogen tests begin after helium tests, currently working through Procedural Safety Requirements. • Aim is to complete before we accept the Focus Coil & Solenoid into the MICE Hall.
Focus Coils • Focus coil delivery slipped to 1st week in June. Delays due to supplier mechanical issues. • Control system complete and ready to be shipped to Tesla – waiting for Tesla. • Potential resource clash with controls group who maybe needed to test the Spectrometer Solenoid in US. • Final payment was in last yrs budget - NOT accounted for in this yrs budget.
