1. Summary of IAP comments from 2007 EURISOL Town Meeting
Sytze Brandenburg, for the IAP

2. Response to previous report
IAP appreciates & acknowledges
written response to last year’s report
design study initiatives following the comments
IAP concerned about issues not addressed

3. Comments from 2007 meeting coordination & overall progress evident
format 2007 town meeting format not appropriate for detailed assessment project progress
information website no remedy

4. Comments from 2007 meeting driver accelerator
credible proposal for multiple independent beams
good positive progress on prototypes
concern: beam losses
H- stripping losses
heavy ions ‘vacuum’ stripping losses, ECR beam emittance

5. has been done two weeks ago
Comments from 2007 meeting
100 kW targets
plan for 100 kW targets appropriate & credible
mMW Target
fission target based on MAFF-design step towards credibility
emphasis on Hg-film target
assessment consequences 235U to be evaluated
isotopes and intensities
licensing
independent evaluation of UCx development program
has been done two weeks ago

6. Comments from 2007 meeting beam preparation
progress difficult to assess (not evident from the presentations and website)
critical issue: gas-filled RFQ-cooler
post-accelerator
post accelerator continues to be credible
good progress on prototyping
study stripping option insufficiently advanced
concern: study of beam losses by ‘vacuum’ stripping

7. Comments from 2007 meeting beta beams
good progress on radiation issues
impact alternative scenarios for production
feasibility full-scale LLN-approach to be studied
coordination with EURO
concern: no strong support from neutrino community

8. Comments from 2007 meeting radiation safety: several urgent issues:
DRL
define constraints for estimations
propose credible concepts to achieve these limits
use GANIL or CERN as guidelines for estimates?
not necessary to set up models to determine DRLs
evaluate credible environmental & accident consequences
propose mitigation schemes
explore
exposure maintenance personnel exposure,
remote handling & nuclear ventilation impacts
concern: progress on system integration radiation safety

9. Comments from 2007 meeting physics and instrumentation
updated case and proposed experiments OK
document format clear and concise

10. Comments from 2007 meeting user group
not moving towards advocacy role as quickly as expected
the progress and goals disappointing to the IAP
outreach brochure good start towards outside support

11. Comments from 2007 meeting site study committee
IAP is concerned about the mandate of this sub committee
has the charge been adequately defined?
EURISOL future
the community needs to be informed of project continuity
new priorities need to be set so that the EURISOL DS results can be exploited with maximum benefit to the community
a transition plan needs to be established & approved
