1. Train for RP survey and visual inspection in LHC Workshop on "Remote manipulations / diagnostics in radioactive areas and handling of radioactive material" - 6th May 2013
TIM program - Remote inspection, surveys and dose rate measurements in LHC:
The remote inspection train prototype has been developed by CERN for the LHC tunnel.  The train is capable of carrying out remote visual inspections as well as taking measurements of radiation dose and oxygen level along the tunnel when the machine is not into access mode. The train runs on a secured monorail installed  to the roof of the tunnel.
The goals of this prototype  is to prepare for the establishment of a reliable service that is fully automated and fully integrated in the LHC operational procedures and controls software and that contributes to the full exploitation of the physics potential of the LHC.
The presentation is divided in two parts:
The first part presents  the results of the TIM consolidation project which objectives were to analyse the existing prototype, to repair it and to improve where needed (reverse engineering), to upgrade the IT infrastructure and to gain operational experience in the LHC tunnel.
The second part presents the work required to develop/upgrade the train from a prototype stage to a fully operational production version. The presentation shows an outline of the program of projects that has been setup to do this work.
A summary of this presentation shall be given at the LMC on the 6th of March 2013.

13. Proposal: 4 trains & 4 garages:
2 new garages shall be built
on each side of point 1.
It shall be possible to dismantle them during technical stop or shutdown.
