G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, PLANS AND REALITY FOR 2003 START-UP IREN FACILITY BY THE END OF 2005 It was foreseen to realize three main tasks: 1. Dismantling of IBR-30 reactor to open a way for obtaining the license for construction of the IREN facility 2. Completing the technological project of the facility and choice of producers of multiplying target systems 3. Mounting of LUE-200 in Bld. 43 FLNP Realization of these plans needed ~650K$ (including reimbursement of JINR debts for years ) Following amounts were founded in 2003: Dismantling IBR k$(100% of request) LUE k$(~10% of request) Transport system for IBR-30 activated elements Bld. 117/6: site for extraction of uranium inserts IREN – Intense REsonance Neutron source at FLNP (facility is under construction)

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, CONSTRUCTION OF LUE A detailed plan aimed at assembling of main parts of LUE-200 into bld. 43 was prepared for year Large shift in implementation of this plan takes place due to insufficient and irregular financing 3. Nevertheless main points have been fulfilled due to active and persistent work of personnel LPP – NEOUS division There is a good starting position for completing during 2004 of the first stage of LUE-200 linac if necessary funding will be available in time… Electron gun test has shown planned parameters Section grids of LUE-200 in bld. 43

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, IREN: PERSPECTIVES FOR YEAR 2004 AND THE FURTHER Total investment into IREN project by the end of 2003 is 2.27 M$ Last estimation for the total cost of IREN facility is M$ A new opportunity to get extra budget founding for the IREN project completion has been opened recently in negotiation with directorate of “Kurchatov Institute”. “Kurchatov Institute” is ready to participate in the IREN project, in particular : to take part in the scientific program; to pay the contribution in the project realization; to apply jointly with JINR to MinAtom for a special extra founding from MinAtom “Kurchatov Institute” President E.Velikhov at the test bench of IREN on

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, CONCLUSIONS total operation (hours) of JINR facilities Total operation of JINR facilities is steady and increases during all last years. Electricity consumption of JINR facilities increases according to the operation. Expenses of the JINR budget for electricity increases according to the consumption and to the price of electricity and has reached ~ 2 M$. Breakdowns of equipment create regular problems of facility operation and, in particular, resulted in default of operation plans of nuclotron and phasotron in Reliable operation of JINR facilities requires additional and regular expenses for the technical support and development of the facilities. electricity consumption (kW x hours) of JINR facilities

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, JINR Technical Policy and Infrastructure In order to improve and develop the technical policy and infrastructure at JINR, a supplement to the Programme of JINR’s Scientific Research and Development for the years is in progress now and will be prepared for the session of the 96 th Scientific Council (July 2004). This activity has been started by a working group established by the JINR Directorate. The supplement will include the status, proposals of maintenance and development as well as requests for necessary resources in for: Basic facilities Energy, heating and water Experimental workshops Technical infrastructure of laboratories Radiation, nuclear and industrial safety Information technologies Staff policy The proposed programme of JINR’s engineering and technical development for the next seven years is in fact the first attempt of a systemized approach to the analysis of the current and perspective status of the Institute’s technical infrastructure and its personnel

G.Shirkov, Basic Facilities, JINR Scientific Council, Young Staff at JINR (Supplement to “The Programme of JINR’s Scientific Research and Development for 2003–2009”) For elaboration of the Programme “Young Staff at JINR”, the following measures are envisaged: the continuous education system: secondary school - higher education - research centre; activities oriented at secondary school students; further development of the system of international schools and programmes for students and young scientists; improvement of the system of scientific and professional competitions and prizes for youth; establishment of a system of grants for the most gifted young scientists; providing a reasonable and attractive start level of wages, and a system of personal bonuses depending on the results of professional activity; hosing programme development, which would allow young JINR staff members to expect to buy their own apartments; improvement of the Institute’s material resources related to culture and sport, and providing the staff with modern medical and other services.
