Dear Colleagues

I am pleased to announce that the new MRI scanner is now in the magnet room and the RF cage has been sealed. Commissioning is now under way.

For those of you who watched the first installation 11 years ago, this one was considerably faster. From lifting out of the lorry, the magnet was in the building less than 40 minutes later. No bumps or scratches.

Two pictures are now available on the ynic website showing the magnet coming out of the lorry and being prepared to be pushed (all 13 Tons of it) into the building.
