Proposal for a Design & Safety Review
• The AFCSWG proved to be a successful model - important safety features and risks could be critically examined.
• This experience has been beneficial to MICE– motivation and focus– confidence within the collaboration – Confidence at RAL
• Sufficient progress has been made to move to the next stage –– MICE will expand the scope of the task to include
• engineering designs and • safety aspects • of all the components of MICE: detectors and cooling channel.
• Safety Group core:– Engineering:
• Wing Lau Convenor• Steve Virostek
– Cooling Channel:• Mike Zisman
– Magnets & Absorber:• Elwyn Baynham• Mike Green
– Integration:• Yury Ivanyushenkov
– Detectors & Electronics:• Alan Bross
– Interlocks:• “Tom Bradshaw”
Group’s task is to solicit additional information
(papers, reports, presentations).to meet as part of the existing AFC
series of meetings to avoid meeting escalation. It is up to the Convenor to initiate
meetings of one or other of the groups.
The group should consider the design of MICE, including the beam line & target, and all infrastructures (shielding, RF power, electrical power systems, controls etc).

Charge to the Group
The remit of the group is to:
• Document sufficient design detail and analysis that an assessment of the design of components against appropriate engineering design rules can be made.
• Similarly for components in the integrated environment of MICE - this might examine interconnections, holding of forces, integrated vacuum systems etc.
• Provide a safety & hazard assessment of the components in the operational phase; identify procedures, risks, consequences, identification of fault conditions etc.
• The completed information will be presented to the MICE Executive Board to gain agreement and will then be subject to an external and independent review which will inform the Executive Board. The Executive Board will then take action on the report of the review.

Cost & Schedule Review
• Two weeks ago Friday 12th November– All the material supplied is available at:
http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/cost_schedule/Document_List.html
• Review report & Response is also available– http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/MICE/cost_sc
hedule/Actions%20and%20Response.pdf
• Important input to the Gateway review in two weeks time!

Cost & Schedule Review II
• Overall response is positive– The cost for the muon beam looks reasonable…
…overall the panel believes the team can build the beamline within the cost envelope proposed.
– Overall the timescale for the beam-line seems to be achievable if money is available soon.
paul drumm; 1st December 2004; PM&TB Report

Cost & Schedule Review II
– The project does seem to be in very good shape, and the details of the organization are impressive. The team have a good control of their costs, and know where they are.
– However, the 3% inflation on technical equipment is likely to prove optimistic, and may result in an overall underestimate of late spend.
paul drumm; 1st December 2004; PM&TB Report
11
Cost & Schedule Review II
– Risks• Shutdown & Commissioning of beam line• Target Design• RF equipment
– Actions on MICE-UK team:• Reconsider inflation• Reconsider commissioning• Consider outsourcing
– Need for design reviews• Because we didn’t talk about them,• But we had been thinking about them…

Gateway Review
• Gateway Review– 20th & 21st December– One day of presentation + next day for
report/questions (TBC)
• Culham, OST, B’ham (JD), RAL (JG)
• KJP, KL, PD + AB, MZ

What we want…
• Muon Beam On ISIS• Design Work
– to provide infrastructure• Put as much in place as possible…
– Safeguard MICE-UK deliverables (Coils)
• R&D– Hydrogen system– RF power system
• Tracker for MICE Stage II• Remind them of
– Focus Coils, RF, Remaining infrastructure etc

GW Review
• Examines:– Robust Business Case– Procurement strategy is robust and appropriate.– Management & Controls in place
• Monitoring & Performance measures in place• Risk assessment & management
– Development and delivery plans and– Funding availability for the whole project.
