April 19 Briefs Excerpts: 

Advocacy Participation Reminder for Employees 
Lab Leadership would like to remind JSA employees who choose to participate in advocacy activities, such as the upcoming March for Science, that they do so in their capacity as private citizens and not as representatives of JSA, Jefferson Lab, or the U.S. Department of Energy; this includes the display of branded materials and attire. In keeping with JSA policy, employees must refer all media inquiries to the Jefferson Lab Communications Office. If you have any questions, please contact the Communications Manager, Lauren Hansen, at lhansen at jlab.org or x7689. 

12 GeV Upgrade Update 
Work to recover the suspension link failure for the Hall B Solenoid magnet is nearly complete. All eight of the "pockets" that carry the suspension system that supports the cold mass were removed from the central cryostat shell and re-worked. The central cryostat shell has since been put in place again over the magnet’s cold mass. After the pockets were checked for vacuum tightness, the load transfer of the cold mass weight from the current temporary support structure to the cryostat proper was successfully completed, thus retiring a technical risk for the project. Work on attaching the remaining sections (ends and bore tube) of the magnet radiation shield and the closure of the cryostat is starting. Hall B technicians and engineering staff continue to complete as much as possible of the remaining work at Jefferson Lab to expedite final installation upon arrival of the magnet. 

Power Outage May Affect Your Afternoon Commute 
Due to a power outage earlier this afternoon, the traffic signals on major streets near Jefferson Lab have been malfunctioning and could cause delay for travelers entering and exiting the lab.

Jefferson Lab Travelers and Travel Coordinators: New System Debuts May 1 
The Travel Services and MIS departments are excited to announce the implementation of the Electronic Expense Report (EER) system, which will debut May 1. All travelers are welcome to attend a training session for the new system, which is set for April 28 at 10 a.m. in CEBAF Center room L102. The training session will focus on the entire EER process, and it is geared toward Travel Coordinators and travelers who prepare their own expense reports. Note: If your expense reports are prepared by a Travel Coordinator, you will begin receiving emails for your review of expense reports via the EER system (requiring electronic approval or rejection), starting May 1. The link provides an example of the email that you will receive and a sample expense report. If you have questions related to travel or the EER system, contact Jenita Everett at x7438.
