This site is a temporary location to facilitate coordination of small experiments at the Soudan Underground Lab after the Shaft Fire. By prioritizing our needs here, we can then present an organized set of jobs to help the crew. This will minimize the flow of emails directly to personnel currently engaged in the recovery. In addition, I will continue to update information, so that you will know when entry will be possible.

There was continued work in the shaft today and a brief entry into the Soudan Lab.

• Today's shaft work focused on straightening a section of rail about 100 feet above the 27th level.

• The electrical cable between the 27th level substation and the lab was tested and passed with no faults.

• The foam in the lab has collapsed to the floor, leaving some debris that was swept into the lab by the foam in the area between the entryway and the MINOS Detector.

• All doors to the lab are now closed at the suggestion of Fermilab engineers.

• The DNR and University staff have now worked continuously since last Thursday night. There will be no work this weekend, in order to rest the staff for next week. Work will resume on Monday. Steps are being taken now to augment the staff in order to provide longer access to the Lab for cleanup.

• Next report will be Monday.
