Description
The LHC access system is the outer safety shell of the LHC
underground instalations
and can help (hopefully not hinder) the smooth operation of the LHC
First a description of the accessible parts of the installations in
different modes
(beam, shutdown, short access...) and what areas of the machine will
or will not be
accessible for regular maintenance (scheduled or not) and quick
fixes will be presented.
The sectorisation of interlocked areas and its impact on operation
including patrols
will be explained. The number of interlock points and some details
about the most
important ones will be detailed, with a view on the layout of the
safety console in
the CCC. Certain failure scenarios and the recovery paths can be
presented based on
our knowledge of the system under construction and on experience
with previous
machines. A first discussion on training requirements and
authorization lists and
organization will be presented. The interaction with experiments
will also be
addressed from a setorisation and responsibility point of view.
