Agenda and Notes

1. Operations

LINAC

Problems with magnet power supply will continue until just before Thanksgiving, They plan to run full beam operations during Christmas.

CHL1

Recovery C8 failed completely. We are moving to complete new C8 and prepare it for installation. Work remaining is low and high side pressure tests which will be completed under the C9 TOSP as planned. Once pressure tests are complete the unit will be turned over to operations to install and clean carbon. In parallel EI&C will check out all the wiring and Alicia and Nate will work out a plan for installation to be approved by Mat when he returns. C8 pressure tests should happen today and then it will be turned over to OPS to install and bake carbon.

2. Projects

UITF

We can start performing work that is labor only. Work is starting on the VJ section of the HDIce warm return line that installs above the cryomodule and completing the vacuum pump connection point.

MSU

Upper cold box will be delivered to MSU soon. Fabio wants us to change the model for the compressors from Ideas to Solidworks.

LCLS2

Results of installation review were complicated. Reviewers wanted to see much more detail than they provided and have made several recommendations such as hiring an outside reviewer to check all calculations, verify piping sizes, etc.

3. Manpower

The new EE regular employee and ECAD contract employee are scheduled to start on Nov 1.

4. Info from Will

1. Appraisals and new expectations 2. Watch all spending on OPS and ENG accounts
