<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black">As many of you know, with the change in the Department of Energy Accelerator Safety Order (420.2D), our testing facilities (both CMTF and VTA) are being re-classified as Particle
Accelerators. The specifics are that both facilities may possible generate a 10 MeV field emitted particle - which is potentially enough to excite the neutron production - and hence the threshold for the order. With this, there is now increased formalism required
around running both of these facilities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black">In addition to this, everyone will become responsible (as operators for your respective facilities) for helping keep each other safe. With that will come the information contained
in the attached documents:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Following an accelerator readiness review and approval by both lab management and the site office - we all agree these controls must be in place to operate each of the respective accelerators. These documents are the 'driver's license' from the DOE to run
the facilities.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">

put in place to reduce the level of danger from unacceptable hazards to personnel for each facility. That discussion takes place in this document.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Aptos;color:black">Upcoming from May 20-22, 2025 we will have the Accelerator Readiness Review for both facilities to demonstrate the laboratories compliance with the order. As part of this, the
review committee may select any of us they choose to interview and ask questions to. Of particular interest will be the material in these documents, as well as our respective facility trainings (Questions like 'Where do you keep your procedures?', 'What would
you do if you found one of your credited controls not to be in place', etc.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to touch base with either of us and please ask questions about how things will work. Much of what we will do will be as it always have been - but this process is just formalizing it. Thanks so much for all of your help in advance, and sorry for the long-winded
