Exploration needs new facilities
The EURISOL project is making good progress
High powered ISOL systems are technically
challenging

Detailed engineering design
Financial Cost
4
International Facility
5
To initiate the process of identifying the
EURISOL site the BOM is appointing a Panel to
investigate the consequences of different types
of sites and how they ( in general terms)
potentially concern

• Science/ Timescale
• Costs
• Trans European Collaboration

Site Types National Nuclear Physics Laboratory
National Physics Laboratory
International Laboratory ? CERN
Green Field Site
6
The panel is NOT charged with the final
decision for site
selection.
Concerned with issues that will have to be
investigated and evaluated for a final site
selection decision .

Panel Details

• 5 Panel members
• Look at history of funding for other European
  Facilities Funding/ site determination
• Define factors that should be evaluated for the
  4 generic site models in a final site
  determination
• (Factors would include timescale, overall
  general costs, multinational buy-in ?
  Scientific/ Funding agencies)
• Visit a selection of current laboratories
• Recommend a procedure to move the site
  determination forward
• Report ready end 2008

• These are some of the factors that have to be
  investigated fordifferent types of sites
• National nuclear physics laboratory, .
• Large international subatomic physics laboratory
• National laboratory with a general portfolio.
• 4) Green field site.The task for the SIP
  would be to investigate the factors a) to h)in
  relation to site types 1) - 4).

13
First task of the panel is to identify in detail
the factors that need consideration in a final
selection process

• Land issues availability, leasing, local basic
  infrastructure,ownership, acceptability to local
  population.
• Licensing and safety issues European
  legislation, host countrylegislation, local
  population issues.
• General site infrastructure workshops, design
  experience,administrative structures, local
  accommodation.
• Local large scale construction history history
  of successfulconstruction of a large scale
  projects.
• e) Experience of high-powered targets ISOL
  systems i.e. localexperience of issues of the
  operating with high powered targets systems.
• f) Local nuclear physics infrastructure local
  facility engineering,technical and safety
  experience.
• g) Acceptance of a local host country for a
  European site.
• h) Political acceptance of the majority of
  countries for a particularsite solution.

EIROforum
Europe has a great history of scientific
endeavour, underpinning our quality of life and
fundamental to our European identity. Science is
a team effort and to progress, it often needs
special and large facilities, some of which
require resources beyond the means of any single
country. Since the early 1950s, a number of
intergovernmental research organisations have
been established to fulfil the needs of Europe's
scientists. They bring together expertise and
funding from across the continent and have been
remarkably successful in developing and operating
some of the largest and most advanced research
infrastructures in the world. Their excellence in
their respective fields enables European
scientists to perform world-leading research.
EIROforum is a partnership of Europe's seven
largest intergovernmental research organisations.
In EIROforum, these organisations pursue joint
initiatives, combine resources, and share best
practices. The seven EIROforum members
areCERN - European Organization for Nuclear
Research EFDA - European Fusion Development
Agreement EMBL - European Molecular Biology
Laboratory ESA - European Space Agency ESO -
European Organisation for Astronomical Research
in the Southern Hemisphere ESRF - European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility ILL - Institut

In 1988, twelve European countries joined forces
to create the synchrotron in Grenoble. Since
then, six more countries have joined the group.
Together they create the indispensable synergy
needed to carry out advanced scientific research.
ESRF
The 2007 budget for operating the ESRF is 80
million Euros.Staff About 600 people work at
the ESRF. Visiting researchers About 6000
researchers come each year at the ESRF to carry
out experiments.

ILL was founded on 19 January 1967 with the
signing of an agreement between the governments
of the French Republic and the Federal Republic
of Germany. The friendship and influence of Louis
Néel and Heinz Maier-Leibnitz brought this
project to fruition in Grenoble.
In January 1973, the United Kingdom decided to
join ILL and officially became the institutes
third Associate member country with the signing
of the agreement of 19 July 1974.
  The ILL had the innovative status of a service
institute, offering the scientific community the
world's leading facilities in neutron science
and technology- a large cold neutron source and
ten neutron guides, each capable of serving three
or four instruments with a very high intensity
neutron flux... The construction of the Institute
and its high-flux reactor in Grenoble,
representing an overall investment of 335 million
francs, was jointly undertaken by France and
Germany. In August 1971, the reactor went
critical and reached full power (57 MW) in
December of that year. Experiments began in
1972.                            
ILL
Ten countries have signed Scientific Membership
agreements with ILL Spain (1987), Switzerland
(1988), Austria (1990), Russia (1996), Italy
(1997), the Czech Republic (1999), Sweden and
Hungary (2005), Belgium and Poland (2006).
Under the terms of these agreements, scientists
from these countries are given access to ILLs
instruments for a specified percentage of overall
beam time under the same conditions as scientists
from the three Associate member countries.
The ILL's beams and instruments are provided free
of charge to researchers whose experimental
proposals have been accepted. Applications for
beam time are submitted electronically twice a
year they are peer-reviewed by external experts.

Every year 2000 scientists visit the ILL from
over 1000 laboratories in 45 different countries
across the world to perform as many as 750
experiments each year. The ILL 's contributions
to high-impact scientific journals is almost
double that of its nearest competitors and
testifies to the success of our facility.
The Institute has been an exceptional centre of
excellence, a fine example of successful
co-operation in Europe and a prototype of the
European Research Area.
