Ulta Sensitive Immersion Tank

  1. Description/Name: Ultra-sensitive Immersion Tank at the 4850' level
  2. Planned use (be specific):
    1. Primary function: A large-scale screener using either liquid scintillator or doped water

to provide counting capabilities for large samples or materials

  1. Temporary and permanent storage: samples will be stored for varying periods within
  2. Sample and detector handling:
  3. Jigs, fixtures, scaffolds, etc. necessary: upper deck scaffolding; scaffolding for side port entries; crane (listed below)
  4. E & O activities
  5. Occupancy:
  6. Steady: 2
  7. Peak: 10
  8. Adjacencies (list/distance):
  9. Space size (gsf and/or WxLxH): *7m diam
  10. Experiment Systems:
  11. Shielding: included
  12. Floor load (PSF): *approx. 1.19 tons per sq. m at center (assumes Borexino-style AV of 1m radius containing 3.73 tons of LS cocktail
  13. Material handling (cranes, etc.)
  14. crane for lifting samples in and out (load?)
  15. Finishes (walls/floor/ceiling):
  16. Casework:
  17. Storage:
  18. Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment (non-experiment):
  19. Mechanical:
  20. Environmental conditions: radon reduced air
  21. Clean class: 2000
  22. Ventilation: nitrogen cover gas system (goes here, or elsewhere?)
  23. Exhaust:
  24. Plumbing (domestic, waste, systems): circulation of water and LS for cleaning and monitoring
  25. Fire Suppression:
  26. Building Management System:
  27. Fume hoods:
  28. Chilled water
  29. Other:
  30. Electrical:
  31. Power (clean and dirty):
  32. Lighting:
  33. Low Voltage/Data/Communication:
  34. Fire Detection/Alarm:
  35. Other:
  36. Acoustical:
