<p class="xxxmsonormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">As you may be aware, a major power outage occurred at TRIUMF last Friday, October 19th that caused all site systems to shut down. This included major cryogenic systems such as in the cyclotron and
the ISAC II accelerator. After site power was restored on Saturday, October 20th
</span><span lang="EN-CA">m<span style="color:black">ajor efforts were underway to restore critical systems required to operate the accelerators before conventional start-up procedures for beams could be initiated. With all this in mind, radioactive beam to
ISAC will not be available for experiments until Friday</span>,<span style="color:black"> October 26th, and ISAC II beam is not expected to be available until Friday</span>,<span style="color:black"> November 9th. </span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xxxmsonormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="color:black">In order to preserve the maximum number of high-priority experiments in the ISAC schedule, b-NMR will now commence on Friday</span><span lang="EN-CA">,<span style="color:black"> October 26th and
run until Tuesday, November 6th. Following that, the GRIFFIN experiment S1750 will run. Unfortunately, this also means effectively one (1) week has been lost from the tantalum target. This means that the run originally scheduled for the end of that target,
S1668, has to be cancelled. The IRIS experiment S1701 will be rescheduled for setup with stable beam on Friday</span>,<span style="color:black"> November 9th. However, while every effort is being made to get ISAC II cryogenic systems up on time, we cannot
completely guarantee that this date will be adhered to. We will keep ISAC Users posted.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
