The Beam Instruments Advisory Group met for the eleventh time at Lucas Heights and reviewed progress on the seven instruments approved so far, along with the IT and Electrical Engineering infrastructure for instrument suite.
For the first time, the meeting was held at the new OPAL reactor, and the committee toured the Bragg Institute Building (above) which is very close to completion.
Presentations were also made on the PELICAN - the time-of-flight/polarisation-analysis spectrometer and the SIKA cold-neutron 3-axis spectrometer, by Dehong Yu and Chun-Chuen Yang respectively.
We are now heavily into the installation phase, with all major items ordered and around 70% delivered.
