2. Outline • The (new) SLAC Accelerator Directorate • SLAC Accelerator Safety Self-Assessment • Recent ASO Self-Assessment The Four Operational SLAC Accelerators: Linac Accelerator Facility (incl. LCLS) SPEAR3 NLCTA ASTA (Accelerator Structure Test Area)

3. New SLAC Organization Accelerator Directorate Common standards and practices for SLAC accelerators Research Directorates User operations, Future capabilities Meets specified performance expectations Specifies performance expectations for user programs

4. The Accelerator Directorate • The Accelerator Directorate • Contains the operations and maintenance for all four SLAC accelerators. • The Accelerator Operations and Safety Division is responsible for safe operations inside the ASEs. • The Configuration Control Department (in the Accelerator Engineering Division) is responsible for Document Control. • One organization providing uniform standards and processes for accelerators across the Laboratory.

5. Accelerator Safety Self-Assessment Periodic Self-Assessment • Safety Overview Committee (An ES&H Committee) • One of the committee Core Roles is to: • “Assign accelerator safety audits for each accelerator facility … Each SLAC accelerator facility will be audited at least once every five years. Audit reports will be provided to the ES&HCC ... Audits include • Assessment of the facility’s safety systems • Assessment of compliance with SLAC ES&H policies and procedures • Evaluation of ES&H training programs and records • Evaluation of conduct of operations” From the SLAC ES&H Manual, Chapter 31: Institutional ES&H Committees

6. Periodic Self-Assessments • Safety Overview Committee Periodic Self-Assessments • NLCTA – June 2006 • SPEAR3 – August 2007 • ASTA – August 2008 • LCLS – Recent ARRs 3/07, 12/08 and 8/09 Linac reviewed 4/2005

7. Current ASO Self-Assessment • After the December meeting we anticipated having the Accelerator Safety Order ImplementationAssessment . • Following the Lines of Inquiry, we collected documentation for posting. • When the review was cancelled we decided to proceed with a self-assessment in anticipation of a similar review sometime in the future.

8. ASO Self-Assessment Documents

9. Current ASO Self-Assessment Status • Status: • The Committee has posted and collated all documents. • Individuals are assigned to write a draft assessment for a category of ASO implementation across all SLAC accelerators. (e.g. I am writing an assessment of all SADs.) • Identify differences, deficiencies, and best practices. • The assessments will be reviewed by the committee and a report released.

10. Summary • SLAC Accelerator Safety Self-Assessment • A process exists to periodically audit • the facility’s safety systems • compliance with SLAC ES&H policies and procedures • training programs and records • conduct of operations • A Self-Assessment of SLAC Accelerators’ compliance with the ASO is underway. • The new SLAC Accelerator Directorate will bring uniform standards and practices for all SLAC accelerators.
