| + | ===== DEDC discussed AARM and made some suggestions: | ||
| + | * Don't worry about the RFP language - put in what you need. | ||
| + | * focus on the steps towards developing the engineering plan for the facility (Bernard' | ||
| + | * include a section on how to staff the facility | ||
| + | * make sure to get everyone who is a working group leader submitting an S4 proposal that need the low background facility to provide with a letter of interest that you can add to your supplementary documents section. | ||
| + | * use these letters of interest to frame your introduction as to the importance of the facility. | ||
| + | * wrt the WBS - it can be flexible - from my perspective it seemed to me you did spell out specific steps in the development of the facility, | ||

| + | * Kara Keeter meant to join, but has laryngitis: interested in ultra-pure water and/or liquid scintillator shields, I'm not sure if radon and other impurity monitoring and assay was included in that or if someone else is doing that. Also ultra-pure noble gas and liquids such as argon; I hope to build a trace-gas analyzer based on cavity ring-down spectroscopy technology, for measuring levels of impurities such as N2, O2, and H2O. Our plans are innovative (especially for the N2) and promise to achieve at least a factor of 10 improvement in sensitivity. | ||

| + | Also, I don't know if this fits in anywhere but I am collaborating with Philippe Collon at Notre Dame on some AMS measurements of potassium levels in rope fibers and acrylic samples for SNO+. (As a matter of fact we are both at ISU today to discuss things.) I would like to build a setup in a clean room for preparing samples for AMS testing. Recent literature suggests AMS may be more sensitive than ICPMS for 40K. So far we only have relative measurements, | ||
| + | |||
| + | We also discussed a post-doc for me, and also handling the training of operators for the facility. I don't think I've mentioned it to you but we are tentatively discussing BHSU providing some sort of support for radiation licensing, which I assume would also entail some sort of training for users. | ||
| + | * Can you help me identify all the S4 and PI's? | ||
