  1. Contingency Spend Plan &Early Science Program Steve Dierker Associate Laboratory Director for Photon Sciences Project Advisory Committee March 29-30, 2012

  2. Cost Baseline, Contingency, and Risks TPC $ 912 M Baseline Cost (Planned work)$ 828 M Contingency $ 84 M Planned Work ($828M): Completed work (Feb ‘12) $597M (72% complete) Committed work-to-go $72M Uncommitted work-to-go $159M Remaining work ($231M) • Contingency ($84M): • 36% of remaining work; 53% of uncommitted work-to-go EAC ($20M) + Risks ($28M) $48M 25% of Uncommitted Work-to-go $40M • Healthy outlook on remaining contingency • We can likely add ~ $36M to $44M in scope to maximize scientific potential of facility • But, careful planning is still required in order to guarantee early project completion

  3. $36M Scope Already Added to Project

  4. NSLS-II Scope Addition Priority List It is likely that we will be able to add all of these

  5. Project Beamline Scope Additions

  6. 2nd Beamline Satellite Building spectrometer optics focusing optics sample chamber monochromator exit slit detector 15 m • Specs • Size: 7000 sf • Vibration requirement: similar to Ring Building Experimental floor • Temperature stability: +/- 0.1o C/hr (energy drift < +/- 1 meV/hr) ~100 m

  7. Considerations for 2ndSatellite Building • We evaluated two cases for cost and management • a stand alone construction project activity as a part of NEXT project • an addition to existing NSLS-II project • Substantial cost savings (up to ~$500k) were identified if we plan as an addition to existing NSLS-II project • Capitalize on existing outstanding NSLS-II construction management team with architectural and engineering capability and excellent track record • Efficiencies by potentially utilizing the existing contractor who is already onsite and building LOB and HXN satellite building • Time table & Associated cost • Finalize design parameter Dec 2011 • Complete design July 2012 $100K • Award contract Sep 2012 $4.1M • Complete construction Sep 2013

  8. Scope Addition Profile Planned Scope Additions (totaling $34M) IDs ID & FE Infrastructure ($M) Satellite Building FEs

  9. Remaining Risk & Contingency ($M)

  10. Scope Addition & Remaining Contingency Planned Scope Additions ($34M) IDs ID & FE Infrastructure Satellite Building $M FEs Assumed $1.8M per month EAC & Risk related contingency spending %Contingency for remaining work to go 40% (incl $48M EAC & risk contingency spending + $34M scope additions)

  11. NSLS-II Beamlines Underway • BeamlineConstructionProjects SE TE • NSLS-II Project Beamlines • Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS) 1 1 • Hard X-ray Nanoprobe (HXN) 1 1 • Coherent Hard X-ray Scattering (CHX) 1 1 • Coherent Soft X-ray Scat & Pol (CSX) 2 2 • Sub-micron Res X-ray Spec (SRX) 1 1 • X-ray Powder Diffraction (XPD) 1 1 • NEXT MIE Beamlines • Photoemission-Microscopy Facility (ESM) 2 3 • Full-field X-ray Imaging (FXI) 1 1 • In-Situ & Resonant X-Ray Studies (ISR) 1 2 • Inner Shell Spectroscopy (ISS) 1 1 • Soft Inelastic X-ray Scattering (SIX) 1 1 • Soft Matter Interfaces (SMI) 1 2 • NIH Beamlines • Frontier Macromolecular Cryst (FMX) 1 1 • Flexible Access Macromolecular Cryst (AMX) 1 1 • X-ray Scattering for Biology (LIX) 1 1 • Type II Beamlines • Spectroscopy Soft and Tender (NIST) 2 6 • Beamlinefor Materials Measurements (NIST) 1 1 • MicrodiffractionBeamline (NYSBC) 1 1 • TOTAL 21 28 18 Beamline Construction Projects Underway 21 Simultaneous Endstations (SE) 28 Total Endstations (TE) Beamlines with design and construction underway 22 additional beamlines (25 SE) have been proposed by the user community and approved by the SAC and NSLS-II but are not yet funded

  12. NSLS-II Beamlines and Users With planned NEXT funding profile Assuming all 6 NEXT beamlines delayed 1 year SEs = Simultaneous Endstations

  13. NSLS-II First Experiments Planning • Goal:Achieve fast ramp-up of science program by having key experiments fully developed & ready for beam at beginning of beamline commissioning in FY14 • Identifying and supporting development of first experiments • High impact experiments that capitalize on unique capabilities of NSLS-II project beamlines • Forming working groups to organize a set of workshops to be held this summer Condensed Matter Physics Earth and Environmental Sciences Soft Matter & Dynamics Catalysis and Chemical Sciences Materials and Nanomaterials Life and Biomedical Sciences • Follow-up to successful science planning workshops held in 2008 • Workshop Goals: • Update user community on NSLS-II, schedule for transition to ops, beamline capabilities • Reassess scientific challenges & opportunities for NSLS-II (update 2008 white papers) • Identify key first experiments and facilitate formation of proposal teams • Recommend priorities for future beamline development • Followed in Fall by Call for First Experiment Proposals • Expect to provide support to successful proposals

  14. BNL Program Connections to NSLS-II • Energy storage materials (BES, GARS) • Beamlines: HXN, SRX, SST, XPD • High temperature superconductivity (BES, GARS) • Beamlines: IXS, CSX, XPD, SIX, ESM, ISR • Catalysis (BES, GARS) • Beamlines: HXN, SRX, ESM, ISS, XPD, SST, ESM • Nanoscience (BES, ELS, GARS) • Beamlines: HXN, CHX, SRX, SST, ESM, IXS, FXI • Soft Matter (BES) • Beamlines: SMI, CHX, IXS • Extreme environment materials (GARS) • Beamlines: XPD • Biological crystallography and imaging (ELS) • Beamlines: FMX, AMX, LIX, NYX • Computation and large data sets (NPP, ELS) • Accelerator Science and Technology (NPP)

  15. Funding Opportunities for Additional Beamline Development • DOE-BES • “NEXT-II” MIE (“NSLS-II Experimental Tools II”) • Expect baseline for NEXT to be established in early FY13 • Seek CD-0 and begin conceptual design for NEXT-II in FY13/FY14 • 5-6 ID beamlines and TPC ~ $90M • Start operations in FY18/FY19 • DOE-BER • Submitting four beamline development proposals at BER’s request: IRI, SM3, XFN, XFP • DOE-NNSA • Anticipate interest in supporting development of MER • NSF • Most likely to support development of endstations instead of entire beamlines • DOE-BES • “NxtGen” funds were anticipated in FY12-FY15 for establishing ~ 10-15 BM/3PW beamlines • Preference is mostly new beamline optics and reuse only newer NSLS endstationeqpt • Estimated cost is ~ $8M/bl plus ~ $1.5M/bl reused NSLS equipment • With current funding realities, now considering reusing entire NSLS beamlines • Estimated cost ~ $1-1.5M/bl (front end, labor, misc)

  16. BES Light Sources NSLS hosts ~ 23% of all users per year LCLS 2009 APS 1996 ALS 1993 ALS SSRL NSLS NSLS-II 2015 SSRL 1974 & 2004 NSLS 1982 LCLS APS

  17. NSLS to NSLS-II Transition Significant capabilities & capacity will be lost from DOE light source portfolio until NSLS-II is fully built out NSLS-II will restore (and possibly increase) national capacity before end of decade (with expected additional beamline funding) BUT substantial capacity reduction nation-wide for several years starting FY14 There will be national impacts on users, facilities, and science Substantial loss of capabilities and capacity until NSLS-II is fully built out Displacement of substantial fraction of user community Substantial increase in user demand & increased competition for beamtime Mitigation Options Continue building out NSLS-II Identify and communicate to users similar capabilities at ALS, APS, SSRL Adjust capacities at ALS, APS, SSRL where possible, sensible, and can be done at little or no cost We are working actively with DOE and coordinating with the other light source facilities to develop measures to help to minimize the disruption Meeting of facility directors and DOE was held in DC on Aug 1, 2011 Working group with members from each of the four DOE light sources formed to identify similar capabilities among the light sources Transition workshop will be held to communicate with users at upcoming May Users Meeting

  18. Summary • Well defined and prioritized contingency spend plan focused on maximizing science program • Expect to deliver > $70M of extra scope beyond original baseline • $36M already added and $34M additional scope yet to be added • Careful planning assures meeting early project finish while still adding scope • Additional scope items will be added when decision dates occur, assuming continued good project cost performance • NSLS-II, NEXT, ABBIX, and Type II beamlines will provide a substantial suite of experimental capabilities • Efforts underway to engage community in identifying high impact early NSLS-II science experiments and to ensure their success • Funding for next several years continues to be a major concern for the early science program
