UKRI-2081 Freia Collimation Vessel

The subject of work is the design and supply of the Freia collimation vessel, which maintains a vacuum environment for optimal neutron transport. The collimation vessel is located inside the instrument cave, upstream of the sample position. The vessel is installed on a concrete base, which provides a stable foundation. Within the vessel a number of components are mounted on translation stages, to enable the instrument to be reconfigured to different operating modes. Included within the scope of work is: • The design of the equipment that is to be supplied • All sourcing, manufacturing and assembly activities associated with the supply of the equipment (unless otherwise stated within the specification). •The delivery of the vacuum vessel assembly to the STFC RAL site, and all packaging and handling activities associated with this delivery. • Defining, implementing, and documenting the results of, the quality control and assurance plan
