Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 16 September, 2002.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: Pof, PB, AD, FH, ML, ASD

*) Milestones:

	- ft54 (the second FCAL) was cabled.

	- ft52 (a Standard) and ft54 were welded.

*) ft54 is to be cold tested this week.

*) The Standard feedthrough ft53 is the only remaining feedthrough
   to be built.  We are still short two T48 pigtail cables for
   that feedthrough.  There has been no response from Orsay
   regarding when we might expect them.

*) Michel reported on recent emails regarding the ECC repairs:

	- It has been agreed to make a "complete" repair of ECC.
	  This presumably means that the inner vessel will be fully
	  removed, allowing newly designed stoppers to be installed.
	  This work is "expected" to be completed by the beginning
	  of December, at which time feedthrough installation
	  can commence.  Realistic estimates are that feedthrough
	  installation probably won't start until the new year...

	- A desicion has been made *not* to cold test ECC after
	  reassembly with the new stoppers.  This decision brought
	  some dissent from the Canadian members present at the
	  LARG meetings, but Pierre Pailler and others believe
	  that the new design is sufficiently robust to forgo
	  a new cold test.

	- Delivery of ECA is expected March 03.  ECA will be cold
	  tested at SIMIC, but that cold test will be done *after*
	  installation of the feedthroughs in ECC, too late to 
	  correct any problems found with the new stopper design
	  without significant pain (ie, removal of the feedthroughs).

	- With all the delays coming from the endcap cryostats, 
	  installation of the feedthroughs, warm cable installation,
	  and final testing are now expected to be critical path
	  items.

*) UVIC B&G have completed installing new overhead lights in
   that part of the ft lab that is to be turned into a cleanroom.
