Required state of Plant
1. Work to be performed in the Lower COMPASS area (D1).
2. This work is to be carried out by external collaborators from Florida International University (FIU) and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) under the supervision of CCFE staff member Scott Allan. The external collaborators are Ramona Perez (FIU), Werner Boeglin (FIU) and Doug Darrow (PPPL).

1 | Obtain permission for use of Lower COMPASS area from area supervisor (Gerry O’Sullivan ex: 6448) and lab area supervisor (Steve Lilley ex:6802) | |
2 | Set up detection equipment. Position detector. Connect pre-amplifier and amplifier to detector and power supplies. Connect oscilloscope to amplifier. | |
3 | Obtain Americium source from Steve Lilley. Use gloves to open and close source container. Use tongs/forceps to position source in front of detector. | |
4 | Measure detector response due to Americium source. Repeat measurements as necessary. If necessary cover source and detector with cardboard box to block out light. | |
5 | Return source to source container using tongs/forceps. Use gloves to open and close source container. | |
6 | Turn off all equipment. | |
7 | Inform area supervisor of completion of work. | |
8 | Final state of Plant | |
9 | Completion of Work | |
