1. Integration Group Summary
Infrastructure
Iouri Ivaniouchenkov, RAL
Absorber and Focus Coil Working Group Meeting, March 14, 2003

2. Layout
What’s done:
- preliminary layout of MICE in the experimental hall
What’s in progress:
- finishing 3D layout in ProE ;
- verifying existing AutoCAD drawing for exp hall (from old
archived drawings and taking measurements ) ;
- adding more and more components of MICE to the layout ;
- first thoughts concerning support/rail system
What’s missing:
- decision how we are going to modify / change absorbers
during the experiment

3. Hydrogen system What’s done: - preliminary specs and layout
What’s in progress:
- learning how the current (ISIS) and old hydrogen systems
(NIMROD) are built;
- defining specs and flow diagram for the system
- specifying layout for the system’s main components
What’s missing:
- agreed specs and flow diagram

4. Cryogenic system What’s done: - preliminary specs and layout
- several quotations from potential suppliers received
What’s in progress:
- verifying specs and diagram for the system
- defining layout for the system’s main components
What’s missing:
- agreed specs and flow diagram

5. Safety issues What’s done:
- close interaction with RAL / ISIS safety officers started
- guiding principle defined ( double-fault safe system)
- approval procedure defined and agreed
- working group is set up
What’s in progress:
- learning the existing experience in hydrogen system design;
- studying methods of hazard analysis (HAZOP etc.);
What should be done:
- a lot ! -> see Diagram of work from Mike’s presentation
Absorber and Focus Coil Working Group Meeting, March 14, 2003

6. To-do List Verify what absorber/s MICE needs
Work out a concept for such an absorber
Check (by applying HAZOP ) that the concept is safe
Define specs and flow diagram for hydrogen system
Define specs for cryogenic system
Define specs for the layout in the exp hall
Start design of hydrogen and cryogenic systems
