NSLS-II Authorization Basis

Steve Hoey, NSLS-II ESH ManagerProject Advisory Committee

February 8-9, 2011


Authorization Basis

• Processes • That assure all hazards are identified and controlled• All necessary documentation is in place• Facilities are complete and turned over• Equipment is installed and operational• All staff is properly trained and qualified• Defines the envelope of safe operation/commissioning


Achieving Authorization Basis


Authorization Basis Strategy

• OVERVIEW:

• Phased Commissioning agreed to. – 1. Linac– 2. Booster– 3. Storage Ring– 4. Final Ops

• Applies to documentation, readiness reviews & commissioning• Resources identified to coordinate the processes• Ongoing revision to ASO – BNL has input and should not

impact strategy or schedule• Milestones for these modules are identified in schedule


Authorization Process for each Module

• Steps in each of the four modules will essentially be identical and include;• Complete necessary BORE’s• Install and test equipment• Equipment/Instrument Readiness Reviews • Develop and obtain approval of AB Documentation• Develop Authorization Plan (SBMS)• Implement operational controls (training, procedures, organizational

structure, etc.)• Develop specific commissioning plans• Accelerator Readiness Review• Begin commissioning/final ops


Beneficial Occupancy Readiness Review

• Successful BORE’s required to allow installation of technical equipment – SBMS subject area provides requirements

• BORE’s will be broken into logical construction phases• First BORE – February 2011 then every month or two ~10-15

total. • BORE Plan Developed with Lab ESH Directorate input

• Assigns responsibilities (NSLS-II, Lab, contractor(s) (Torcon/EWH) and commissioning contractor (BVH))

• Defines Scope• Informal BORE walk downs start ~ 3 months prior• Pre & Post Start items identified – tracked in family ATS• Defines deliverables – FHA, T&Q, run cards, interim procedures etc.

• BORE Coordinator Assigned – Brian Heneveld


PRE-BORE

• A series of Pre-BORE walk downs of the facilities began in November 2010. • Intent is to familiarize team members (and observers) with

the assets that will comprise the subject of the BORE• Identify any issues that may impact the success or schedule

of the BORE• Issues tracked to closure• Walk down will include core BORE team, subject matter

experts and interested observers• Process was successful with the CFN project


NSLS-II BORE Scope• “Substantially” Complete

• All building structures – walls, floors, ceilings, roofs etc.• Life safety systems – sprinklers, alarms, emergency lights etc.*• Egress systems – exit doors, stairs• Communication systems necessary for life safety• Utilities complete – electric, water, sewer, HVAC, air, chilled water, steam etc. • Surface treatments complete – paint, carpet, tile etc• Response training – fire rescue, security

• Typically only “punch-list” items remain open or items dependent on future system installation – will require “scope” negotiation with BORE Committee• Examples may include items such as; systems on temp power due to construction

sequencing; HVAC system balancing or De-Ionized water supply to equipment that has no Life Safety implications

Equipment/Instrument Readiness Reviews• E/I Readiness Review Process under development (will be similar to

beam line readiness process)• Each piece of equipment will be installed, tested and verified

operational via internal NSLS-II process• Process will confirm equipment/instruments are installed;

• Meet specification• Meet all applicable codes/stds• Cover components, subsystem• Testing and qualification of systems• Training and qualification of staff• Graded on complexity• Documented• Configuration control

• Lab SME ESH support will be involved in the development of the process (fire protection, electrical, pressure, cryo safety) and identify specific criteria


Authorization Basis Documents

• Safety Assessment Document and Accelerator Safety Envelope developed for each phase

• Follow DOE Order 420.2B and SBMS Subject Area• Preliminary SAD (for CD-3) – approved by DOE 2008• Linac Commissioning SAD and ASE complete – currently in

review stage• ASE defines the “envelope of safe operations”• SAD provides the hazards analysis and supporting criteria for the

ASE• SAD/ASE Coordinator assigned – Nick Gmur


Accelerator Commissioning and Operation Authorization


Authorization Basis Supporting Documents

• Safety Assessment Document has 15 supporting docs in the appendix;

• Environmental Assessment:• EA approved by DOE 2006• Finding of No Significant Impact granted in 2006• EA compared to NSLS-II 100% design in 2008 – no changes

• National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: (NESHAP) Analysis complete October 2010

• Fire Protection Assessment /Fire Hazard Analysis:• Final FHA approved January 2011


Accelerator Readiness Review

• Successful ARR’s are required to obtain permission for Accelerator Commissioning.

• Four ARR’s will be conducted following the “AB Strategy” (Linac, Booster, SR and Final Ops)

• First ARR will be Linac scheduled for November 2011• ARR Process is well defined in DOE 420.2-1 (ASO Guidance Document)

and the Accelerator Safety SA.• ‘Readiness” = Systems and procedures established to address credited

controls (SAD and ASE), documentation requirements, and personnel qualification

• Not a facility inspection• BORE will address facility space readiness• Equipment/Instrument review process will address equipment installation readiness

• NSLS-II ARR Coordinator assigned – A. Ackerman


Accelerator Readiness Reviews

• Team appointed three to four months prior to first scheduled ARR

• Team will be a mix of BNL, BHSO and external experts

• Most review accomplished before site visit

• Web site for sharing of documents

• Conference calls prior to site visit

• On-site ARR when we are READY

• “An ARR is not a method for achieving readiness, but for verifying it.” (DOE G 420.2-1)

• Maximum one week on site


Accelerator Readiness Review

• ARR Schedule:

• LINAC 11/2011

• Booster 12/2012

• Storage Ring 05/2013

• Final Ops 08/2013


Commissioning

• “The process of testing an accelerator facility, or portion thereof, to establish the performance characteristics. It starts with the first introduction of a particle beam into the system” (as defined by 420.2B)

• Commissioning begins after approval by BHSO of authorization basis (documentation, training, procedures, etc.) for each module

• Commissioning confirms safety systems performance and adequacy of shielding as described in SAD/ASE


Beamline Development/Commissioning

• 6 Project Beamlines under development• Existing review processes from NSLS will be the baseline for the

NSLS-II process (Beam line Review Committee & Beam line readiness review)

• Process was enhanced to include NSLS-II conceptual reviews (complete)

• Conceptual and Preliminary Design Reviews complete for project beam lines

• Beam line design guidelines developed • Written commissioning plans to be developed

• Additional NIH, NxtGen and DOE BER development concurrent


Summary

• Authorization processes are well underway and on schedule• Coordinators for key processes identified and in place• Challenges Remain

• Finalize Installation readiness review process• Additional Beamlines will need to be integrated into

schedule/commissioning process• Independent ARR team needs to be established

• BHSO/DOE continued support is crucial to success
