Oral

Elettra 2.0 Project is entered the "Installation Phase" for the Storage Ring. The "Removal Phase" ended in November 2025 following the start of the "Dark Period" on July 2025.
The talk is focused on the many expected and - in some cases - unexpected issues related to the logistics, handling, and planning activities for the removal and the installation of the Storage Ring and the beamline hutches.

Oral

The CERN Neutrons to Gran Sasso (CNGS) facility was installed at CERN in 2002-2005 and operated from 2006-2012, sending a total of 18 E19 400GeV/c protons on target. The high dose rates expected in the target cavern, even years after the end of operation, several beamline elements were designed for remote handling. After installation and before the start of operation, the most critical...
