Crosswalk, speed bumps join Stop signs on accelerator site

Speed bumps and a crosswalk will be installed on the Accelerator site at the request of Accelerator Division Associate Director, Christoph Leemann.

The speed bumps will be installed and a crosswalk will be painted on CEBAF Blvd., in the vicinity of building 89 and the Central Helium Liquifier (CHL). Leemann feels these additions will enhance safety in that area.

The work is scheduled to begin after the holidays, according to Tom Briggs, Plant Engineering's chief of Structural Maintenance and Service.

The stop signs will stay at the intersection of CEBAF Blvd. and the Machine Control Center (MCC) access road. The speed bumps will be removable, like the speed bump at the Guard Shack, so they won't interfere with moving cryomodules on CEBAF Blvd.

Johnny Tang, Accelerator Division computer scientist, recently accepted a new job at Brookhaven National Lab.

He started work at Brookhaven, November 25, as an advanced computer analyst - working Research & Development for the control system of the next-generation neutron scattering facility. The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a Department of Energy multi-laboratory project. Argonne, Brookhaven, Lawrence Berkeley, Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories are involved in the design and construction of the SNS, which is scheduled for completion in 2005.

While Tang is very excited about the new challenges facing him, he recently said, "It was very hard for me to leave Jefferson Lab and Williamsburg, where I was living. I miss all the friendships I enjoyed in Virginia. After working for Jefferson Lab for almost 10 years, I needed a new project - a new challenge. I will return to Virginia someday."
