[Swreq] Modification of FEL Rapid access system in vault for measuring neutrons this week

[Jim Boyce]

Outstanding! Thank you.
You will have access to the vault tomorrowŠall day, if one can believe the
whiteboard in the FEL Break Room
Thanks again,
Jim

 With the proposed method of providing an additional unit RM212, the FEL
rapid access system doesn't need to be tampered with and thus can continue
providing a rapid access function.  The additional unit will provide you
with neutron and gamma measurements and Dave is working on setting up a
signal in epics to accommodate this test plan.  We should have everything in
place and functioning sometime tomorrow morning, provided we have access to
the vault.
