2. Design Study R. Battistella, PSI June 2006 EURISOL DS CONTRACT CHANGES TO BE APPROVED TASK 5 SAFETY & RADIOPROTECTION Participant n. 4 CERN asks to move the amount of € 68.643,21= (including 20% of overhead), from Personnel to Travel and Subsistence category. The corresponding participation to such Task, in Person Months, is reduced from 66 to 52 (total contribution) and from 18 to 4 (EC contribution), for the whole duration of the Project. Task 5 Leader and CERN Team Leader agree on this proposal. Such request does not affect the CERN contribution to the Project, the Task planning and deliverables. TASK 10 PHYSICS AND INSTRUMENTATION Participant n. 17 CCRLC asks for reducing its expected personnel contribution (total personnel eligible costs) from 334.000,00= to 108.500,00=. The corresponding participation to such Task, in Person Months, is reduced from 60 to 12 (total contribution) and from 12 to 6 (EC contribution), for the whole duration of the Project.
