The main technical choices for the installation \nare described in this paper together with the lessons learned and the improvement \nfor the future. \ nThe first two sub-sectors of the sector 7-8 (about 735 m) and the full se ctor 8-1 \nhave already been warm and cold commissioned. They underwent to pneumatic tests\, \ncooldown to nominal temperatures and heat inleak meas urements. The main results of \nthe commissioning of these two sectors are presented and compared to the values \nspecified in the technical specifi cation. \nBased on the production rate of the QRL elements and the install ation rate achieved \nup to now\, it will be possible to complete the QRL installation before end of 2006. \nKeywords: Present state and progress of installation\; first experiences of cool-\ndown (performance and conform ity with technical specs.)\; critical issues.

The presentation will briefely touch on the three phases but will \nconcentrate on changes that will be implemented for the 2006 run. Access to SPS \nduring the run will be more restricted and will have to become much more \nconcentrated and organised since it will require a manual intervention before and \naf ter each access by the machine operators at each access point. The locks o n the \naccess doors will be physically disabled during machine operation and must be \nenabled locked manually before access is permitted. The emer gency exit doors in the \nvarious tunnels and caverns that can be accessed during machine operation and that \ncannot be padlocked for safety reason s will be connected to the power emergency \nstops to ensure that no beam can be present when a human presence is possible.\n\n\nKeywords: SPS acces s\; INB\, Constraints\; upgrade\; schedule\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contri butionDisplay.py?contribId=37&sessionId=5&confId=86 LOCATION:L'Esplanade du Lac\, Divonne-les-Bains URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=37&sessionId=5& confId=86 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:LHC Access - Where do we stand DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060125T135000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20060125T141000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130619T195153Z UID:indico-contribution-86-36@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: NININ\, Pierre (TS/CSE)\nThe progress in the LHC acc ess project will be presented.

Although the equipment in these caverns is designed to tolerate \nthe expected radiation levels in normal operatio n\, such monitoring is seen as key \nto protecting the detectors from dama ge due to unexpected short- or long- term beam \nlosses\, and necessary fo r understanding how beam conditions affect the efficient \noperation of th e experiments. This is especially important during the commissioning \nand early running period of the LHC. As monitoring methods and equipment prot ection \nconcerns vary amongst the different experiments\, this talk will address the general \nissues associated with reliable beam and radiation m onitoring within the \nexperimental areas and the estimation of beam loss and radiation damage in and \naround the experimental areas. Varying time scales are to be considered\, ranging \nfrom ultra-fast beam loss\, to run -by-run losses\, to integrated long-term effects of \nradiation.

From a technical viewpoint\, the \ ncontrol system of LEIR presents challenging features.

As the LHC-like \ncontrols have been used for the first time in an opera tional context during the \nLEIR running-in in 2005\, their successful ope ration represents a very valuable step \nin the process of the LHC Control s system validation.
