3 MECO Magnet Final Design Plan
Summary Roll-up of Magnet Plan
- NOTES
- This plan is has been proposed by MIT, but does
not yet have the concurrence of MECO. - PS, TS and DS fabrication durations are estimates
presented at the Oct04 review, and are for
reference only (not part of this Final Design
Plan). - The MIT plan intends to include all activities
needed to complete a final design of the magnet
system, even though some of those activities may
be completed elsewhere (e.g., BNL).
4RD Task Overview
5RD Task Detail Sub-scale winding tests
- Provides structural modeling data for winding
tensile and compressive modulus - Provides modeling data for other insulation
concepts (GUG, prepreg, wet winding) - Contributes to the final selection of the
insulation concept
6RD Task Detail Conductor trials and testing
- Validates conductor properties assumed in
analytical models for - SSC cable as is
- De-keystoned cable used in large-build TS coils
near APS window - Cable-in-channel configuration of most coils
7RD Task Detail Fabricate and Test Copper Winding
- Cu winding validates our baseline design for
- Impregnation quality
- Winding thermal properties (assessed to be
similar for other candidate insulationsGUG,
prepreg, and wet winding) - Winding will have cooling detail based on a
conduction cooled concept that can be tested - Tests will validate thermal performance of
insulation and conduction cooling with
thermo-siphon, possibly after high
electromagnetic pulse load. - When testing is complete, coil will be cut open
and inspected - MIT test facility can be used to facilitate
testing of a first article TS coil during
production phase
8RD Task Detail Joint Trials
- Joints will provide baseline concepts for joint
clamping and soldering fixtures - Samples will be dissected and visually inspected
9Design Activities Summary
(Detail is rolled up)
10Winding Tooling Design
- This task will produce a reference design for the
winding tooling. - The task is responsive to the MOG recommendation
to design the tooling. - Winding tooling must be available early to
support a timely start of coil winding during the
fabrication phase, otherwise the magnet delivery
is delayed. - The goal is to facilitate but not overly restrict
the procurement process. - Some bidding vendors may have tooling already.
- Others may not, in which case the existence of a
reference design would facilitate their bid which
will contain a manufacturing plan
11Program Management Includes RFI/RFP Processes
NOTE Although the PS, DS and TS packages are
produced separately, this does not preclude a all
awards going to a single vendor.

15Conclusions
- An integrated program plan has been presented
that is both responsive to the MOG
recommendations, and recognizes the phased
funding. - A short period is included for plan negotiation
and agreement. - The plan leads to an early RFI (6/13/05) and
includes all work leading to and including RFPs
for the magnet parts. - Existing and requested supplemental funds will be
consumed quickly if the plan dates are to be met. - Additional funding from the FY05 RSVP
Congressional authorization will need to be
committed soon to avoid delays. - Additional funds to support the final design plan
will be needed from future (FY06) Congressional
authorizations to complete the plan. - The plan can be adjusted for alternative funding
profiles. - The plan currently lacks the concurrence of MECO
16Fabrication/Installation Schedule (As presented
at Oct04 ReviewNew FD Plan not yet merged here)
- Final design review releases fabrication
- Some tooling may require early release
- All activities are assumed to be single shift
except for winding - Conductor fabrication sequence PS , TSu, DS, TSd
17PS Fabrication
- Winding tooling
- May require early release
- Two winding machines
- Multiple impregnation molds so as to not
bottleneck production
18TSu Fabrication
19TSd Fabrication
20DS Fabrication

22Magnet Cost Estimate
- Bases
- Initially, engineering estimates were made some
have been updated, some remain - Several larger cost items have been corroborated
by industrial estimates - GA estimates for PS, TSu, TSd, and DS magnets
cryostats - Tooling and tooling design
- Winding, assembly, mandrels, vessels, shipping
- Other industrial estimates
- Conductor (Outokumpu)
- Coil mandrels (DG Machine, MEJ-Inc, Millinocket
Fab Machine, in addition to GA) - Insulation (Cryogenic Materials, Inc, Can-Do
National Tape) - Refrigerator/liquefier (Air Liquide, Cryo
Technologies, Linde) - Return yokes (International Steel)
- Resource loading based on schedule yields the
implied funding profile - Costs from Oct04 review were escalated from FY04
to FY05 - Escalation taken at 4 per annum, which is high
compared to RSVP guideline - Escalation rates will be corrected in baseline
preparation - Costs have been reviewed in Feb05 in preparation
for this meeting - Labor rates were adjusted prior to the Oct04
review to reflect rates from an MIT ITER study. - An oversight resulted in the application of these
new rates to only the PS magnet costs during the
Oct04 review. This has now been corrected.
23Overall Cost(FY05)
- Final design costs are taken from the final
design plan as presented here. - OH and profit rates
- Material 15
- Labor 100
- Note The 100 overhead rate is a hold-over from
earlier MIT costing and is only relevant here in
that it determines the equivalent total rate
used, which is based on an MIT labor rate survey
done for the ITER project. - Profit 10

25PS Cost(Excluding Contingency)
26TSu Cost (Excluding Contingency)
27TSd Cost (Excluding Contingency)
28DS (Excluding Contingency)
29Funding by FY Profile (Assumes FY05 Start)
- Actual billings may vary due to accounting lag
time - Unspent but committed funds need to be carried
over from one year to the next

36New Changes from Magnet Review(Oct04) and ROM
for Cost Savings
- Lengthen the TS coils in the 90 bend regions
from 20 cm to 40 cm. This reduces the number of
coils that have to be manufactured in TSu from 32
to 24 and from TSd from 30 to 22. Note This
needs field verification! - Change the PS from bath cooling to conduction
cooling with a thermo-siphon loop.

38Specific Questions(Received from Jim Miller)
- Where are the boundary lines between the magnet
system and the rest of the experiment? - The numbers you are sure about and the numbers
you are not sure about. Without completing the
RFP process, how much faith should we have in the
magnet costs? - Proposed approach and schedule for RFI, RFP,
procurement, construction, etc. - Is further scrubbing of costs planned? Who will
do it? - What is your understanding of the management of
the magnet? That is, what is the line of
responsibilities above the sub-system manager? - Where are the main risks?
39Answers to Questions
- 1. Where are the boundary lines between the
magnet system and the rest of the experiment? - The boundary lines will ultimately be defined
through the interface documents, whose creation
has been started by Mike Hebert. To my
understanding, these will be further developed by
the MECO Chief ME when he comes on board. This is
a Systems Engineering function, which is
generally handled at the project level. - The gray areas at present are mostly in the
facility interface area. This interface should
become more clear in coming weeks as RSVP, MECO,
MIT, and BNL meet to further define BNL roles.
40Answers to Questions
- 2. The numbers you are sure about and the
numbers you are not sure about. Without
completing the RFP process, how much faith should
we have in the magnet costs? - Confidence level in the cost sheets is generally
reflected by the size of the contingency. - We have had some form of external (non-MIT)
confirmation on about 68 of the total estimated
cost. This includes cost information as follows - GA on PS, TSu, TSd and DS cryostat costs
- Refrigerator/liquefier vendors on R/L costs
- Steel supplier on return yokes
- The largest uncertainty is with installation
costs, as it is difficult to characterize the
installation environment at BNL. The assigned 50
contingency here is only a guess.
41Answers to Questions
- 3. Proposed approach and schedule for RFI, RFP,
procurement, construction, etc. - The baseline approach leading to the RFI/RFP has
been covered in the discussion of the Final
Design Plan. - RSVP has been queried regarding the
procurement/construction approach. No decision
has yet been made. - The baseline approach reflected in the plan is to
obtain RFP responses from industry to a
relatively small set of large procurement
packages. A package could be an individual
cryostat (PS, TSu, TSd, DS) or some combination
of two or more. The R/L, power supplies and
magnet steel would also probably be purchased
through separate contracts. - Jon Kotcher states that, through discussions with
Mike Harrison, he has learned BNL-SMD is
interested in performing a magnet integration
task where integration would be required in
particular should the magnet be provided in
smaller components. In that instance, SMD would
assemble the components at BNL, test them, and
install them in the AGS. This will be explored in
coming weeks, starting perhaps next week.
42Answers to Questions
- 4. Is further scrubbing of costs planned? Who
will do it? -
- Bill Molzon indicated recently in an email that
RSVP plans to review the magnet costs prior to
baselining. - MECO looked into having a separate cost estimate
done in the late 2002 timeframe, but that was
superseded by the GA estimate followed by lack
of sufficient funds to do anything more.
43Answers to Questions
- 5. What is your understanding of the management
of the magnet? That is, what is the line of
responsibilities above the sub-system manager? - Mike Hebert received some clarification to these
questions in a recent discussion with Jon
Kotcher. - Magnets are apparently a cost center outside of
MECO, but the magnet SSM is a L3 manager under
the MECO PM. - The MIT final design plan (presented above) has
been accepted as the default baseline. - Jon Kotcher has requested that Tom Taylor be on
distribution for everything regarding the magnet - Magnet management seems to still be unfolding.
- My opinionMECO should propose a management plan
that works cooperatively with RSVP to achieve the
MECO needs and objectives. I would be happy to
help.
44Answers to Questions
- 6. Where are the main risks?
- Unsettled approach to procurement
- Uncertain nuclear heating in the PS (could be
offset with a cold compressor) - Large size may lead to lengthy leak checking
- Installation environment is not well defined
- Ensuring BNL safety requirements are properly
reflected in the magnet RFP. - Coordination of magnet-facility interface with BNL
