PSA Layout studies-2 6/12/2016Robin Lafever LBNL1 In mid April 2008, a series of studies was conducted to attempt to accommodate the desire to place the place the Permanent Storage Area (PSA) in or near the CUORE clean room assembly area. The intent was to evaluate the feasibility of placing the PSA in a clean room/Radon- free environment, if possible. With discussion, an additional requirement to keep the PSA and assembly areas separate to avoid traffic and possible interference between Storage and Assembly operations. The following pages illustrate a design for extending the Clean Room that meets the criteria stated above,

Typical PSA cabinet used in these layouts is based on a Type A, Series 400 Stainless Steel unit from Terra Universal. Catalog cut is shown below. CAD Models on the right include wheels and so are slightly taller than the catalog dimensions 6/12/2016Robin Lafever LBNL2

Extended Clean Room layout with PSA cabinets. The cabinet arrangement is arbitrary and is only one of many studied. This layout includes a separate Gowning chamber and is consistent with the desire to keep PSA storage out of traffic areas during assembly operations. 6/12/2016Robin Lafever LBNL6
