2. CONFIGURATION
Accomplished Layouts based on:
- Parameters generated from approved? physics functional and physical requirements
- Equipment components were design developed based on above parameters
In progress:
- Hard study of details that meet the functional and physical interfaces
Required:
- More interaction on defining physical interface parameters with the facility and services
- More definition on the experiment requirements (a list of possible immediate and future experiments)
- Decision on the center for configuration control

3. SPECIFICS: Hydrogen absorber module
Conceptualized the modular construction to facilitate the experiments operations
In progress- Investigating feasibility of constructing the modules with a combined flexibility and safety characteristics
Required- Acceptance and implementation of modular operability.
- Facility requirements for:
Mobility, Connections flexibility, Safety
- RF/Hydrogen modules physical and functional interfaces definition
Next – Detail vacuum double wall vessels design and interfaces

4. INNER MODULE INTEGRATION
Accomplished design that meets RAL’s safety containment requirements.
In progress – detail feasibility studies of components fabrication and assembly. Studies on the as designed components functional:
Structural integrity capabilities, Fluids dynamics and Heat transfer characteristics
Required – coupling coils design and structural support interface specifications.
RAL Safety recommendation of standards for interfaces of:
Fasteners, cryogenic gas and liquid fluid connections, electrical, instrumentation etc.

5. INNER MODULE INTEGRATION (CONTINUED)
Required
Discussions on: removable windows or removable absorbers assemblies
Bolted or non bolted absorber windows
Vertical or side cryo connections
Next – verify coupling coil structural support and interface from magneto dynamics and physical specifications .
- design the coils cold mass support
- fabricate, measure and test the absorber windows new design

6. COST AND TIME SCHEDULE
Accomplished- preliminary cost and schedule studies supported by US vendors estimates on earlier absorber designs (costs of magnet coils from M. Green).
In progress – similar effort on current design plus in house estimates from on going activities
Required – a study of the components fabrication, partial shipping, sub assembling, stage testing, final assembling, retesting, packing, final shipping and installation
-Need decision on: ho, where and when, will the various components be fabricated, tested and assembled prior to their final installation.

7. Final note
The preliminary costs and schedules, for the liquid hydrogen absorber only, were based on the following:
- KEK fabricate the absorber heat exchanger associated piping connections and absorber vacuum chamber.
- NIU/IIT fabricate outer containment vessel, supports, windows for vacuum and absorber,
- LBNL/Oxford provide the coupling coils with coils support structures.
