Next steps
A number of actions will be undertaken during 2019 to generate the first complete LIGHT system, which will be used to obtain regulatory approval, via CE marking:
? Daresbury site: In May 2018, a lease was signed between AVO and the UK Government’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to establish a UK testing and assembly site at Daresbury (Cheshire). The facility will be used to test and assemble a complete and operational version of the LIGHT system for verification and validation for regulatory approval (CE Mark).
? Geneva: The ADAM site in Geneva is where AVO’s R&D facility is located. Sufficient testing has been undertaken to provide proof-of-concept, and the design of all the accelerating structures has been validated.
? LIGHT: The infrastructure work has already started at Daresbury, together with the assembling of the LIGHT system, as both are meant to be built in parallel. The concrete shielding for the proton injector and RF test bunkers is already in place, and delivery of the components has already occurred.
