    BL09-20-EQS10000-R00-signed.pdf
    The document, "BL09 CORELLI Upgraded Fine Radial Collimator Equipment Specification," outlines requirements for the design and procurement of a Fine Radial Collimator (FRC) for the CORELLI Spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). The purpose of the FRC is to accommodate high field magnetic sample environments that are incompatible with the existing collimator. Key specifications include materials of construction, fabrication, inspection, and delivery processes. The FRC must feature neutron-absorbing blades with precise angular separations, and be constructed of non-magnetic materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to withstand high neutron and gamma radiation. The document requires a thorough quality assurance program, with the Seller responsible for all testing and inspections, and mandates detailed documentation throughout the fabrication process. Additional details stipulate dimensions, tolerances, and performance criteria to ensure optimal functioning within a vacuum setting. The Seller must propose a Quality Control System and provide a final design package for approval before fabrication. The ultimate goal of this specification is to ensure the collimator meets the operational demands while adhering to rigorous safety and quality standards consistent with federal guidelines.
