SNS Instrument SystemsArgonne/Oak Ridge DOE Review – March 2002 The ARCS Baseline Review Committee included experts in instruments and in project management because no previous reviews had been held. Important recommendations: Develop a Project Execution Plan and Memorandum of Agreement with SNS to solidify the project management structure Major instrumental uncertainties need to be address: – Operation of detectors in vacuum – Shielding needed for personnel dose rates and backgrounds
