Note:  The committee will be augmented by “ad hoc” technical advisors or Committees as required to deal with issues outside its direct expertise

 

1.1              Charge

The TAC shall review all research proposals submitted to Jefferson Lab prior to their transmission to the Program Advisory Committee for scientific review.

 

The TAC review shall identify:

·         technical issues;

·         unusual demands on Jefferson Lab resources; and

·         unusual ESH&Q issues.

 

This information shall be included in the package of information forwarded to the Jefferson Lab Program Advisory Committee (PAC) for their review and also transmitted to the proposal spokespersons for their information.

 

The TAC shall also review the Conduct of Operations documents submitted by collaborations prior to running experiments and certify that they are consistent with Jefferson Lab standards and practices.

 

2.0            The Jefferson Lab Program Advisory Committee (PAC)

 

2.1              Membership

The PAC is appointed by the Jefferson Lab Director.  Membership rotates with a typical term of three years.  Current membership is as follows:

2.2              Charge

The PAC shall:

 

2.2.1        Review research proposals submitted to Jefferson Lab and provide advice on:

·         the scientific merit, technical feasibility, and manpower requirements of the proposals;

·         a recommendation for the proposal to be placed into one of four classes:

o   approval of the proposal,

o   conditional approval status pending clarification of special issues,

o   deferral, or rejection;

2.2.2        provide comments on letters-of-intent and updates;

2.2.3        provide scientific ratings for approved experiments; and

2.2.4        provide additional advice on issues related to the scientific programs of the laboratory as requested.

Note:         The committee will be augmented by “ad hoc” Committees as required to deal with Environmental, Safety, Health, and Quality (ESH&Q) issues outside its direct expertise

 

3.1              Charge

The committee shall review all experimental equipment to be installed in the experimental areas for possible ESH&Q hazards.  This review shall include not only the major items of the initial experimental equipment designed by Jefferson Lab, but also those subsystems built by the users.  It shall review not only the possible hazards presented by the normal operation of the equipment, but also the proposed installation procedures, potential failure modes, and the adequacy of the documentation provided with the equipment.  The committee shall also review any additional equipment to be installed for a special measurement, and apparatus to be set up in other Physics Division spaces such as the EEL for pre-installation testing or research and development activities.

4.1              Charge

The JRRP serves to advise the Radiation Control Group (RadCon) and Senior Management on matters of radiation safety.  The panel reviews, comments on, and approves documentation for signature by the Director and Associate Directors as applicable, thereby establishing policy and procedures for Jefferson Lab operational radiological safety.

The JRRP is responsible for:

·         Reviewing as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) Program Activities and Reports.

·         Conducting critiques on deficiencies and proficiencies in Radiological Control Activities.

·         Reviewing plans for first-time or infrequent activities and changes of scope.

·         Reviewing recommendations from the RadCon.

·         Making recommendations to Senior Management and to those responsible for conducting the actual programs regarding the above reviews.
