From the official summary of the Council by the FAIR Management:
- “Good news on additional shareholder contributions: Poland (formal letter from Poland will follow until end July 2024), France, Sweden
- Good news regarding the commissioning budget: the proposed commissioning budgets were supported by the CSG and commissioning budgets have been released by the Council for the years 2024 and 2025 as a new budgetline with additional budget.
- Good solution process regarding power cables from India: critical Inkind supply by India urgently needed in line with the site installation process.
- Good news regarding time critical components for CBM beamline - magnets and vacuum components: the Council is supporting the procurement of these time critical items as long as the overall budget situation is positive. With the formal confirmation of the contribution from Poland end of July 2024 a decision in writing will be initiated to approve this procurement step. The tendering process for these components can start already immediately.
- The next Council meeting in December 2024 will take place in Kolkata, India with the hope that in the phase towards this meeting in December 2024 the Indian shareholder can make steps forward in granting an additional contribution for FAIR.”
This means we have a beamline to the CBM cave approved!
