Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 26 August, 2002. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Present: Pof, PB, WW, ASD *) Milestones: - No new milestones to report. *) Daniel Fournier sent the following note regarding the pollution tests on the replacement micro-D material: Dear Paul, As you remember we have been forced by AXON to accept a different material (LCP) for the last few microD connectors. This material is in principle better (radiation wise) than the one used for the bulk of the production. In order to minimize risks,we however agreed to make a cold exposure at CERI,to check for any unforeseen pollution under neutron irradiation. We originally planned this irradiation for september.However,due to a heavy use of the CERI facility we have been asked to postpone this work until the first week of november. Keeping in mind that this irradiation is merely a safety check,we have accepted to postpone the run,and wanted you to be informed. With best regards Daniel *) Wendy has updated the database so that all pigtails which contain the new micro-D material can be easily identified. *) Instructions have been received from Maryvonne Riandee and Christiane Eder of ORSAY on how to return the four defective pigtail cables without having to pay the French VAT. The cables should be sent out by the end of this week. Agenda for next week ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Milestones - Plans for the week - AOB
