Description
The long shutdown activities of the Circuit Protection section form integrated parts of the medium- and long term plan for the consolidation and upgrade of LHC detector and extraction equipment which is required for maintaining and adapting the complex and safety-critical QPS systems. Although every coming TS shall be efficiently used to advance with these works, a major part of the tasks, defined in five project packages, will need to be implemented during the shutdown. The packages are: nQPS/BS extension to the SAM’s, the HDS upgrade, a EE consolidation plan , general and specific firmware upgrades and a R2E mitigation and replacement program, representing an estimated total of 55-60 man-months.
