Agenda for May 27, 2010

Cost and Schedule

  • New Plan - Understand that Module ready by 2017 ⇒ no screening until 2019
    • Procure and deploy screeners early as part of DULBCF
    • Build up staff and screen 2011 - 2019
    • Create integration of Davis, LBL, Soudan with a surface facility at USD (Keenan head)
    • Need more money for this! Need Plan - Physics Frontier Center?
    • Move already bought screeners into FAARM - schedule moves for uninterrupted screening (except one very sensitive screener will move early and monitor all activities, including tank fill)
    • FAARM is the active shielding, infrastructure, and immersion tank
    • Any other specialty screeners (what about radon emanation? early or late?)
  • Reflect this new plan in Microsoft Project (Lee Petersen)

New Layout

  • Plastic removed from under torus
  • questions of floor height and opening not resolved
  • need to understand acrylic options - should we bring in other engineers? other companies?
  • Any news from Dufrane?

Screener Group

  • Not much heard from groups in response to DUSEL poll
  • Screener group (Richard?) needs to gather info by ISE and post to Screening Working Group White Paper by next meeting
  • I will call each group afterward to solicit further info and to solidify support for DULBCF

Immersion Tank

  • posted first pass on wiki: needs more detailed schedule and cost

short term plans for this summer

  • Nail down the schedule for the Mid-July for undergrads from U Minn, SD, BHSU
  • Need place to stay - Kara said she would find one
