6. Tunnel excavation: current status (@2013/09/06) The blasting started on May 22, 2012.

7. Design and on site pictures Entrance of New Atotsu Tilted corridor (1/300) inside Tunnel (X arm) Center Room

8. FCL Status - Mainly about Electricity, Architecture and Clean Rooms- Blue prints for the construction phase II items (Electricity and Architecture) will be finished at the end of August 2013. We expect the company for the construction phase II will be decided in the end of September 2013. Clean system and double deck layer structure designs are under construction. Almost images are drawn and we got some cost estimation for them. The biding for them will be done around April 2014.
