Operator roles outside of Operations

Oral

ALBA is a 3 GeV storage ring running 6000 h per year. While in operation the control room is manned 24/7, while in shut downs only the morning shift is covered. The operators ensure efficient operation of the machine and provide support for the coordination of the tasks during the shut-down by working between 50 and 60% of their time in shift. The other 40 to 50% is dedicated to work in areas...

38. Inaugural Use of Neutron Beam Analysis at SNS by an Accelerator Operator

Oral

The Spallation Neutron Source is a user-oriented accelerator complex with a fully subscribed users list each run period. Most shutdowns are relatively short and packed with carefully coordinated activities to keep the accelerator running and occasionally integrate machine or instrument upgrades.

Accelerator Operators are asked to propose their shutdown projects and pick groups they will...

14. Transition for the Operators to Work within Other Accelerator Groups of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) Proton Accelerator in the United Kingdom

Mrs Sinje Caldwell-Steffen (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL))

Operator roles outside of Operations

Oral

The accelerator-driven spallation neutron and muon source at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom is manned 24/7 all year round. The key to the success of the accelerator is the operators, who ensure the safe and efficient operation of the machine, working around the clock in shift crews of 3 people. In 2018 a new system has been introduced allowing crew members to spend some...

31. Operator Organization while on Shift and outside Operations

Mr Andrea Vescovo (Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A.)

10/4/18, 4:30 PM

Operator roles outside of Operations

Oral

Will be described how the rotation of the operator shift has changed during the years in order to allowed a better cooperation into project not directly connected to machine operation and the impact of how this cooperation involve to the operator when in charge to the control room.
An overview about some projects realized by operator will be given.
