8. Discussions and Decisions
8.1 Formal matters
8.1.1 Change of EC members and observers
Recently, there were requests or inquiry about the change of EC members or observers
during their term. It was explained that the reason for the present rules was to have acontinuity of EC membership for a two year period. While there were some opinions toallow the EC members to change at any time when presidency of each member
association changes within the normal two year period the EC agreed on the following
procedure for the continuity of EC.
- In the case of new presidency of member Association, the current EC member(the previous President of the member Association) can request the EC tonominate the new President of member Association to participate the EC on thebehalf of him/her. The nominee will have full responsibility and rights of EC
member.
The procedure for the nomination of observers, proposed by the Board, was presented to
the EC and agreed by the EC.
- All nominations including observers should be made by each member associationeach two year at the 2nd EC meeting the 2nd year of the term. For regions without
associations, the EC can formally nominate and decide.
- The observers from neutron facilities or major projects should be the facility
director or his/her nominee.

4Action: These should be included in the rules for nomination of EC members andobservers.
8.1.2 Clarification on the rules for nomination of Board members.
The need for clarification on the rules for nomination of Board members was pointed out
during the Board meeting and briefed to the EC.
The Article 5.1 Board states “The holder of each of these positions will be elected by thecommittee from amongst the current registered delegates.” It was noted that we aresupposed to nominate new Board members in the 2nd EC meeting of the 2nd year of term.
The ‘current’ indicates the members of the current EC (not the new EC to be formed).
The EC agreed that for the effective operation of Board it is desirable to nominate Board
members amongst ‘current’ EC members who are also nominated for the new EC.
8.1.3 AONSA Facility Director’s meeting.
The origin and purpose of the facility directors’ meeting was explained by President J.
White. The discussion about having this meeting started during the 5th EC in India,
followed by a series of discussions at the informal EC in Korea (October 2010), virtual
Board meeting, and the Board meeting in Japan (February 2011).
The need of a Facility Directors meeting, associated with AONSA’s Executive meeting,has evolved in 2010-2011. The broad Aims of AONSA – Article 2 in the Articles of
Association imply this wider and coherent cooperation. Practical ways to improve mutual
cooperation and scientific access between centres (EC Mumbai) and the need for
coordinated approaches in developing, for example, TC proposals to IAEA (Informal EC,
Daejeon) are examples. At a different level, proposals to international bodies such as
IAEA, ICSU and the IUCr could reinforce the efforts with funding (EC May 2010) if
coordinated with the Asia-Oceania facilities. Some of the history of these features isgiven in Appendix 5.
The letter from President J. White to neutron Facility Directors regarding possible
AONSA Visiting Fellows was noted (Appendix 6). It was pointed out that the name
AONSA fellow requires some financial support from AONSA (although it may be partial).
The 1st AONSA Facility Directors’ meeting was very successfully held at BATAN,
Bandung, Indonesia in the afternoon of May 19th, 2011. The minutes of the meeting is

5attached (Appendix x7).

8.2 Process matters- No items.
8.3 Financial Matters8.3.1 AONSA Annual Fee and Budget Report.
The AONSA Annual Fee and Budget report was made by Treasurer, Wen-Hsien Li, andapproved (Appendix 8).

agreed that the membership fees of INSS for the first two years (2009 and 2010) are waived
to help the participation of INSS.
AONSA expect INSS to continue their payment of annual AONSA membership fee every
year from now on.
Support of J-PARC
The EC acknowledged the support of J-PARC for an
office.

prize is USD16,000.
Report of Virtual Board Meeting on the Donation for AONSA Prize
The results of virtual Board meeting on the donation for AONSA Prize fund (which was held
during December 2010) were reported. All items reported were agreed by the EC.

6

- It was agreed that the amount of donation $5,000 for each major donor is only a reference
number, which will have to be decided by the donators depending on their will.
- It was agreed that AONSA will ask for donations every two years (every presidency).
- It was noted that, with this donation, we can have enough funding to make a new Prize foryoung scientists.
How to resolve the difficulties in financially contributing for AONSA Prize- It was noted that some Associations and Institutes have difficulties in directly donating for
AONSA Prize fund due to various issues. Possible ways to resolve the difficulties(discussed during the Board meeting on February 20, 2011) including the Association
donation attached to their annual membership fee, were reported to the EC. With the further
discussions at the EC, the following way, which will allow member associations can makemore financial contribution to AONSA without difficulties, is agreed by the EC.
The AONSA annual membership fee is in the unit of USD 1,000, with the minimum fee as
two units. The use of units more than two can be specified by paying association or AONSA(if it is not specified by the donor).
- It was confirmed that there is no conflict in the AONSA articles for changing the rules for
AOSNA annual membership fee.
8.3.3 Opening new JPY bank accounts
It was reported that two new JPY bank accounts (one for AONSA annual membership fee andthe other for AONSA Prize fund with initial deposit of USD 500, respectively) were opened
to avoid the difficulties in paying the handling charge of international wire transfer. It is notedthat the bank accounts for AONSA membership fee and AONSA Prize fund are in USD.
8.4 AONSA Prize
8.4.1 Report from Selection Committee

Committee meeting in May 2010, that AONSA should co-operate with otherinternational organizations wishing to develop training and scientific collaboration in the
Asia Oceania region, a draft proposal to the International Council of Science (Asia
Pacific region) is being developed in collaboration with the Neutron scattering
Commission of the International Union of Crystallography.
It is proposed to approach the nuclear centres in our region for their support to allow
greater flexibility for young researchers to extend their work at complementary facilities
in our region. At the EC meeting, Professor Yamada and Professor Arai suggested that
we share the information about beamtime application deadlines of facilities in the region
and possibly arrange them to enhance the accessibility for neutron in the region. Thisidea will be further developed by the Board.

The AONSA Board and informal Executive Committee (EC) meetings were held at Korea
Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, Korea, on October 31,
2010. The Board meeting in the morning was attended by John White (President),
Yashuhiko Fujii (Vice-President), Sung-Min Choi (Secretary), Wen-Hsien Li (Treasurer),
Mahn Won Kim (former President) and Masatoshi Arai (former Secretary) and various
issues identified in the draft minutes of 5th AONSA Executive Committee meeting in India
were discussed. The meeting was followed by a lunch hosted by the Basic Atomic Energy
Research Institute at KAIST. At the lunch, Yong Hee Lee, Dean of Natural Science at
KAIST and Ki-Bong Lee, President of Korean Neutron Beam Users Association,
welcomed all the Board and informal EC participants.
The informal EC meeting in the afternoon was attended by 14 participants including KiBong Lee (KNUBA), Kye Hong Lee (HANARO), Rob Robinson (ANSTO), Masatoshi
Arai (J-PARC), Yuntao Liu (CIAE), Edy Giri Rachman Putra (BATAN), Abdul Aziz
Mohamed (Malaysian Nuclear Agency), Kookheon Char (KNBUA), Chang Hee Lee(HANARO) and all Board members. In the meeting, all participants enjoyed very active
discussions on various issues to strengthen the collaborations in the Asia-Oceania region,
which made the meeting very productive. Association and facility reports were made byparticipants, which updated current status of user communities and facilities in the region.
The meeting was followed by a dinner hosted by the Korean Neutron Beam Users
Association. The minutes of the meeting will be posted in the AONSA website once it isready.

2. Review of the Minutes of Board and Informal EC Meetings
The minutes of Board meetings in Mumbai, India and Daejeon, Korea, and theminutes of informal EC meeting in Daejeon, Korea were reviewed. It was ensured that
all issues or action items in the minutes were covered by the agenda of this Board
meeting.
3.1 Preparation of the 6th EC Meeting in Indonesia.
- The 6th EC meeting will be held on May 19-20, 2011, in Bandung, Indonesia.
- The confirmed expected number of participants of the 6th EC meeting is 14.
- Combined with the EC meeting, AONSA plans to arrange the following meetings
together
1) 6th EC Meeting
2) Lectures at ITB
3) Facility Director’s Meeting
4) IAEA TC Meeting (Danas Ridikas/IAEA, combined with Facility Director’s
meeting)5) Follow-up Board Meeting after the EC- Considerations for scheduling
1) For the effectiveness of Director’s meeting, it should be held after the EC meeting(at least after the first half of the EC meeting)2) There is a long break on Friday afternoon for praying time in Indonesia
3) President plans to invite Dr. Iman Kuntoro and Gunawan to the EC and Director’s
meetings.
4) To accommodate all the meetings, the lectures at ITB need to be either all in themorning or all in the afternoon (not split into morning and afternoon).
- The tentative schedule of the 6th EC meeting in Indonesia ( suggested by Edy) andcurrent status of arrangement were reviewed. Taking all the issues into account, twotentative revised schedules are suggested.
Option 1
May 19 (Thursday)

22Morning: EC Meeting
Afternoon: EC Meeting
Evening: EC Dinner with Indonesian Colleagues
May 20 (Friday)
Morning: Lectures at ITB & Director’s Meeting, simultaneously
Afternoon: Follow-up Board Meeting.
Option 2
May 19 (Thursday)
Morning: EC Meeting
Afternoon: Lectures at ITB & Director’s Meeting, simultaneously
Evening: EC Dinner with Indonesian Colleagues
May 20 (Friday)
Morning: EC Meeting
Afternoon: Follow-up Board Meeting.
Action- S.M. Choi will consult with Edy Giri Rachman Putra for the schedule and try to
finalize the schedule of meetings by the end of the 1st week of March.
- S.M. Choi will work with Edy Giri Rachman Putra for the local arrangements(including transportation & hotels). AONSA will follow suggestions from Edy.
- J. White will write a letter to all directors who will attend the EC meeting calling for
Facility Director’s meeting. Here, the directors eligible for the Facility Director’s
Meeting are the directors or representatives of major neutron facilities listed as
AONSA observers.
- J. White will write a letter to Danas Ridikas (IAEA) for the IAEA TC Meetingcombined with the Facility Director’s meeting.
Other issues- It was noted that a recent trial for IAEA TC for neutron scattering network in the
Asia-Oceania region was failed and possible reasons for that were discussed. Since itis expected that there will be another chance for application (in 2012) for IAEA TC
with a bigger and longer (2014-2016) proposal, we should be well prepared for that.
The Director’s meeting with IAEA personnel present this time would be a goodstarting point to prepare it. It was emphasized that the contents of IAEA TC should
be well arranged not to conflict with other IAEA proposals.
- It was noted that IAEA Consultancy Meeting for Neutron Source (Tokai, Japan,
November 22-25, 2011) is scheduled during the 1st AOCNS.
- The information about the Microbiology Mini-Symposium at ITB was forwarded to
all EC members and observers.

Dear Danas,
I am following up on your suggestion of 22 December 2010 (below) in connection with thecoincident AONSA Executive, Facility Directors and AONSA sponsored symposiumfor Indonesian colleagues which will all be held at Bandung on 19 and 20 May this year as
foreshadowed. The relevant correspondence is below this message.
AONSA would be glad to hear from you about planning for a new TC proposal - which may
need detailed preliminary discussion as soon as possible between the eventual partners. The
Facility Directors meeting may be a convenient way to start that discussion.
Edy Giri Rachman Putra and our Indonesian colleagues have been thinking about this andkeeping AONSA involved recently and AONSA would like to have a clear picture of thepossibilities.
The AONSA Facility Directors meeting is not the same thing as a meeting to prepare the new
TC proposal. Consistent with our Articles of association, the "charge" for the AONSA
Directors meeting is :Looking to the future of neutron scattering developments in our region, the AONSA Informal
Executive Daejeon 31 October 2010, explored closer cooperation with the Centres on futureplanning of our programs such as the Neutron Schools, Conferences and other forms ofcollaboration. This would be done through a meeting of Directors coincident with the
AONSA Executive.
Professor Rob Robinson has accepted to be the interim Chair of this meeting which shouldplan ahead.
He has already been in contact with a number of the Facility Directors who have indicatedthat they can come to Bandung. He and I are sending out the formal letter of invitation today.
I am sure that we can achieve some exciting things at our meetings but we need to set thewhole agenda soon.
Yours sincerely,
John

BandungnDear Danas,
Thank you for keeping us informed. I will pass your message on to the Board andExecutive. I think that it will be quite valuable to work closely together for Q3 and Q4 andinto 2012.
AONSA will have its first International Conference on Neutron Scattering in Tsukuba ,Japan 20-24 November 2011. (The poster is attached) . The week before the conference is
our neutron school at J-PARC.
We will have to see what the effects of the great earthquake disaster will be on these
events - I assume that we will try to go ahead unless the effects are too bad.
We will keep you informed.
I will also put to the Board and Executive the possibility of using the Beijing occasion.
In any case we may be able to have a good pre-discussion of a joint - IAEA-AONSA Facilities proposal at our Directors Meeting in Indonesia in May.
Yours sincerely,John

15 March 2011 reply from Danas Ridikas.
Dear John/Edy,26

unfortunately we cannot organize the IAEA meeting in such a short time frame. Our meetings
and travel plans for Q2 2011 are already approved. We still could have tried it in January as
indicated in my last message...
I am open for any other suggestions in Q3 or Q4. Last time Edy has mentioned a Conference
he is organizing in autumn - perhaps there we could combine 2 events.
Please also note that tentatively we have scheduled the 2nd Research Coordinated Meeting(RCM) on Characterization and Testing of Materials of Relevance to Nuclear Energy Sector
Using Neutron Beams" from 19 to 23 September in Beijing (China). Just now we haveinitiated an official process to request the CIAE to host this meeting, and Yuntao is our focal
point for this event.
I've also initiated a new project on neutron beams (see attached for your informal information
only and restricted distribution): the funds were requested through the PUI (peaceful uses
initiaitive) framework as extrabudgetary. More information on this can be found at
http://www.america.gov/st/texttransenglish/2010/October/20101015155243su0.2492879.html. Here also additional funding fromdonors as Korea, Japan and Australia is expected. I will keep you informed - more I should
know in April, I hope. If this does not go through, the draft can serve as a starting document
for a new TC project proposal in the new TC cycle, i.e. beyond 2012.

I have met and discussed with Mr. Iman Kuntoro regarding director
facility meeting.
He mentioned that it would be better we are waiting a formal
confirmation from IAEA. He is going to take an action and then ask apermission to the top level BATAN's management, when IAEA formallyconfirmed for having a facility (institution) meeting in Indonesia.
Thank you.

I have contacted Danas Riikas about his attending the Facility Directors
meeting- as he suggested a couple of months ago. I am awaiting his reply.
The meeting will be about cooperation with AONSA but I hope that it may
begin the discussion of a new TC proposal also.
I am copying this to the Board and to Rob Robinson whom we have asked to be the interim

AONSA Visiting Fellows

DRAFT

This letter is to ask the Facility Directors of neuron scattering Institutes in the Asia-Oceania
region for their potential support to AONSA in mounting a pilot scheme for multilateralexchanges of one or two high quality post-doctoral fellows between Institutes per year.
The purpose is to promote Asia-Oceania collaboration by identifying some of the best young
people doing neutron scattering experiments for whom access to facilities, apart from those attheir home institute, would be scientifically beneficial to them and the receiving Institute.
This proposal is not meant cut across current bilateral arrangements but enhance them.
In 2010, AONSA Executive and Board discussed this possibility and has the support of the
Neutron Scattering Commission (IUCr) and encouragement to propose a small scheme fromthe regional office of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). If the Facility
Directors’ support were to be forthcoming, the chances of funding through ICSU andpossibly IAEA would be enhanced.
I ask the Directors at their May 20 meeting in conjunction with the AONSA executive for
their comments.

Yes, I support tabling this. I guess the main question will be where the money is to comefrom. In our case, we are reaching the point where we cannot handle much more from afinancial point of view, especially if all the money comes from the facility. We cameperilously close to having one or more redundancies this time around, but I have avoided that.
But leveraging might be possible, in our case.
But I think it is a good idea to table the question, and I can take care of that if you send theletter to me. I'll forward it on to all the others, if you do not send it to them directly.

Cancellation of 4th AONSA Neutron School
The 4th AONSA Neutron School in a series of annual Neutron School was assigned to beheld in Tokai, Ibaraki, Japan during the period of Nov. 13 (Sun.) – Nov. 18 (Fri.), 2011,preceding the 1st AOCNS (See Newsletter from AONSA, vol. 2, No. 2, November, 2010).
The lecture sites will be Ibaraki Quantum Beam Research Center (IQBRC), Materials andLife Science Facility (MLF)/ J-PARC, and JRR-3. The total number of students is expected to
be about 40. The school will be organized by the AONSA and co-organized by JapaneseSociety for Neutron Science, J-PARC, JAEA, KEK, and ISSP, U. Tokyo.
However, Tohoku-Kanto (Northeast and Central) Area of Japan suffered a calamity by alarge earthquake of M9.0 and following giant tsunami on March 11, 2011. J-PARC and JRR3 facilities were seriously damaged. According to the announcements of Prof. S. Nagamiya(J-PARC) on Mar. 18 and Dr. Uetsuka (Director General, Tokai Research Center, JAEA) on
Mar. 22, it would take significant time to recover the function of J-PARC and JRR-3. Staff of
J-PARC Center, JAEA, and KEK is now devoted to work on for repair, it would not berecovered by November, 2011. Since we had planned to serve a chance to study at state-ofthe-art neutron instruments at J-PARC/MLF and JRR-3 on the occasion of the 4th AONSA
Neutron School, we had to accept that it would be impossible to realize it as was scheduled.
Considering these facts, we sorry to report that it would be impossible to hold the school thisyear.
Note that to hold AONSA Neutron School in 2012 would not be possible either due to thefollowing reasons: (1) J-PARC has a plan to upgrade of accelerator in 2012. It will be shut
down from July to Dec. 2012. (2) Because of the accident of Fukushima Atomic Power Plant,
electric power supply will be very limited even next year. By considering these facts, wewould like to postpone hold AONSA Neutron School by two years, i.e. 2013.

Appendix 12
Report from the Organizing Committee of 1st AOCNS
We have decided to hold the 1st AOCNS even though we had big disaster by the earthquake.
After the earthquake we have not held the organizing committee meeting, so that we have notdecided officially anything. The organizing committee meeting will be held on May 23rd.
However, we have tentatively decided many things. I will show you some of important
things here.
0) We will open “Call for Abstract” in the beginning of June, and will close at Aug.22 (maybe
it is first postponed to Aug 31, and second to Sept 10)1) Full registration fee is 20,000 JPY (=160 USD) for early registration(after Aug. 22, it is 25,000 JPY (=200 USD))
2) Student registration fee is 10,000 JPY (=80 USD) for early registration(after Aug. 22, it is 12,000JPY (=96 USD))
3) Optional fees:• Banquet fee is 7,000 JPY (56 USD)
• Lunch box is 900 JPY (per day)Voluntary fee for AONSA is 1,000 JPY (=8 USD per share) (up to 10 shares)
4) Financial Supports.
In order to facilitate attendance of student from developing countries, AOCNS will offer
financial support for the student registration fee and travel expenses.
The deadline for the application is July 18 (too early?)(i) financial support for registration fee (for students):
a copy of student ID
a document describing a reason why you need the financial support(ii) financial support for travel expense (50,000 JPY for each student)a copy of student ID
motivation letter
recommendation letter from a super visor
5) Accommodation
We prepare Hotels near the conference site and KEK accommodation. The KEK
accommodation is cheap and good for students.
6) Regional meetings of Korea, Australia and Japan will be held during the AOCNS.
If other countries want to have regional meeting, please let me know immediately.
7) AONSA_EC meeting will be held during the AOCNS.

54

Problems(1) International Scientific Program Committee (ISPC) does not work well. So we have notenough suggestions on scientific sessions, plenary lecturers, key note lecturers inscientific session.
Today I have a tentative list of scientific sessions. Would you please give somecomments on the tentative lists, not now but after discussing with your colleagues in yourcountry.
We also ask you to nominate Plenary lecturers as well as Key Note lecturers to ISPC orme by May 26th. One week later; I know it is a hard job, but please help us.
(2) Number of participants.
We were expecting 550 participants. This number has been decided in AOCNS_EC
meeting. Hope you remember it. 300 from Japan, 100 from Korea, 80 from Australia, 30
from Taiwan, 20 from China, 20 from India, 10 from Indonesia, …..
After the earthquake, we are little bit worrying about the number of 550. Would you
please push your colleagues to attend the CONFERENCE.

Discussions about the 1 AOCNS during the Board Meeting on Feb. 20,
2011st

The report from the 2nd Preparatory Committee Meeting (November 26, 2010, Tokyo) for the
1st AOCNS was presented and the great efforts of the preparatory committee were highly
appreciated by all the Board members.
Voluntary contribution as an option during AOCNS registration
The preparatory committee agreed to have a $10 box for voluntary contribution of AOCNS
participants as an option during registration. The preparatory committee pointed out that there
should be a clearly stated reason why AONSA asks participants for the voluntary
contribution.
The Board suggests a statement “For the activities of AONSA including student supports andso on.”
Naming of “sponsorship” of AOCNS
It was noted that the preparatory committee decided to use the rule ‘C’ in the Report.
<C>
Organized by
Japanese Society for Neutron Science (JSNS) and
Asia-Oceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA): These two (host Association and AONSA) are major organizers
Sponsored by J-PARC Center, KEK, JAEA, ISSP/Tokyo Univ. Ibaraki Prefecture …
: Organizations which make monetary contributions
Supported by the Physical Society of Japan, Crystallographic Society of Japan …
: Organizations which make no monetary contributions but help advertisement of AOCNS
through announcement of AOCNS on their Journals or Websites.
Naming protocol used in the Poster of AOCNS was confirmed and it was agreed that thisnaming rules will be applied for future AOCNS as well.

Advertisement of AONSA during AOCNSThe Board members agreed that the ‘Opening Session’ is used to celebrate the 1st AOCNS
which is the biggest activity of AONSA. President of AONSA will give a speech about
AONSA in this session. The Board members also agreed to invite the Presidents of ENSA
and NSSA (which are the counter parts of AONSA in other regions of world) to give speechin the Opening Session. It was noted that the Opening Session is planned to have an officialfrom MEXT-Japan, Governor, and others (Industrial Applications) as well.
It was noted that a special session for ‘Complimentary Use of Neutron and X-ray’ is being
prepared and the president of AOFSRR is planned to be invited.
It was noted that Program will have a slot for National/Regional Association Meetings during
AOCNS. The SE Asian colleagues can have a regional meeting as well. The fee for the room
will be paid by the AOCNS.
Action: Y. Fujii will send formal letters to the Presidents of member Associations.
Schedule of the 7th EC during AOCNS
Tentatively, the 7th EC meeting during AOCNS is planned to be held on November 20(Sunday), 13:00-17:00. This will be decided in the 6th EC in May.
Possibility of sending invitation to Embassy of Korea, Australia and others
While it may provide a good chance to advertise AONSA and national neutron science
activities to government officials of member countries, the Board decided not to do this toeschew possible political conflicts and uncertainties in running the conference.
Possible bids for the 2nd AOCNS
It was noted that there are possible two bids for the 2nd AOCNS, from ANBUG and TWNSS.
The Associations should confirm their bids in the 6th EC in May, 2011.
The decision will be made in the 7th EC during AOCNS by secret voting of EC members.

President J. White’s visit to Singapore in 2011
President J. White visited Singapore on January 10, 2011 and had a meeting with a group of
scientists who are interested in neutron scattering.
Scientists in Singapore have very little experience of neutron scattering but are very muchinterested in using it. They would like to have a lecture or workshop, if AONSA members
travel to Singapore. The contact person for this is

Footnotes(1)
The opportunities from the current and projected advanced neutron scattering
facilities in the Asia-Oceania region closely resemble those in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s
when France and Germany established the Institut Laue Langevin, ILL, in Grenoble forgeneral policy reasons as well as science. This move has brought European scientificleadership and understanding between scientists and nations. Now, ten European countries
have ‘scientific membership’ in the ILL and durable international collaborations.
(2) The recently released OECD STI Scoreboard 2009 noted that:“Researchers are increasingly networked across national and organization borders.
Moreover, international co-authorship has been growing as fast as domestic coauthorship…. Scientific articles from Latin-America have more than tripled since
1993 and those from south-east Asian economies (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,
Thailand and Vietnam) expanded almost three times over the period.

Issues on IAEA TC and ICSU proposals
The facility Director’s meeting will be a good starting point to work on a new IAEA TC
proposal (submit in 2012 and operate TC for 2014-2016).
AONSA will work on IAEA TC (bigger funding) first and then think about ICSU proposal(smaller funding) later depending on the results of IAEA TC.
To make the IAEA TC proposal for neutron scattering in the region successful, we have to
avoid possible conflicts with other IAEA programs eg ASEAN-IAEA. Political support fromnational representatives is also very important. The situation with respect to bilateral andcurrent Asian multilateral programs should be carefully considered.

Subject: AW: AONSA's Proposal for Cooperation with ENSA
Dear Yasu, dear John,
Thank you very much for your kind letter. Sorry for the late answer, but I didn´t check my email over the Christmas and New Year holidays.
I was very pleased to hear, that AONSA would like to cooperate with ENSA. Having not yet
discussed this issues with my colleagues in ENSA I can nevertheless say that ENSA will behappy to install a cooperation as you propose. This should help us to make the regional
strategies more coherent and thus more attractive for politicians!
As you perhaps know, I shall come to Tokai at the end of February, mainly to join a meetingon Feb. 28th. In addition I plan to attend the Meeting on Correlated Electron Systems as well.
I sincerely hope, that we will find time to discuss the cooperation between ENSA andAONSA during my visit. By then I shall have circulated your proposal within the ENSA
Delegates and I shall have the first comments of the colleagues when I come to Japan.
I look very much forward to interesting discussions with you!
Dear John, we can certainly organize, that you join our ENSA-meeting, which will take place
during ECNS Prag. This would be a very good opportunity to have have an intensive
discussion between AONSA and ENSA.
I hope you had a pleasant Holiday Season and a wish you all the best for 2011!

Chairman, European Neutron Scattering Association
Dear Michael,
It was already three years ago when Prof. Mlynek and you visited J-PARC in Tokai one year
before the start of its operation. As Prof. John White, President of AONSA, wrote you thisweek, we’d like to propose our possible cooperation between your ENSA and our AONSA as66

below.

My formal letter on behalf of AONSA is also attached.

We have been impressed to know your ENSA actively playing a crucial role inscientific/technological development as well as political influence for neutron research not
only in Europe but also worldwide for many years.
In August 2008 we, neutron scatters in our Asia-Oceania Region, established the AsiaOceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA; http://www.aonsa.org/) to provide aplatform for discussion and a focus for action in neutron scattering and related topics in the
Asia-Oceania Region. Under Prof. Mahn Won Kim’s Presidency in the first term (Aug.
2008 – Dec. 2009) and Prof. John White’s in the second term (Jan. 2010 – Dec. 2011) , wehave also intensively conducted various activities such as the annual AONSA Neutron School,
the quadrennial Asia-Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering (AOCNS), the biannual
AONSA Prize and issuing AONSA Newsletter twice a year. We have also held the
Executive Committee Meeting twice a year at different country/region to promote andencourage their neutron society/community.
At the recent Executive Committee Meeting, we seriously discussed any possible cooperation
with other neutron scattering community to exchange information on conference, school,
workshop, facility reports, new projects etc. and to let our members access to it worldwide.
The Vice President has been assigned to take a duty for such an outreach activity toward ourmutual benefit with your ENSA.
My present letter on behalf of AONSA is to propose such cooperation with your ENSA. We
would like to start this cooperation as simply as possible. When it’s needed, however, we’ll
conclude any Agreement at any level between ENSA and AONSA in the future.
Looking forward to your kind consideration and cooperation on this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Prof. Yasuhiko Fujii
Vice President of AONSA

Dear Prof. Fujii;
Thank you for your recent letter on behalf of AONSA, and my apologies for taking so long to
respond. I'm pleased to hear that IUPAP is benefitting from the inputs of yourself and Dr.
Bader!
I've discussed your letter and suggestion of cooperation between AONSA and NSSA with the
NSSA executive, and the Executive's response was unanimously positive; we are very keen
on such cooperation, as it would clearly be to the benefit of both of our communities.
Did you have specific joint initiatives in mind for such cooperation?
I will be attending the upcoming NACSES11 conference at Tokai in about 1 month. If you
will also be in or near Tokai, perhaps we could get together to discuss these and related plans.

Subject: RE: AONSA's Proposal for Cooperation with AOFSRR
Dear Prof. Fujii;
I am very pleased to learn about your thinking of the cooperation between AONSA andAOFSRR. As both organizations are now in smooth operation, the cooperation between
neutron and x-ray communities are very natural and important. I strongly support such moves
and will bring the issue to the attention of the Council of AOFSRR, which I am serving as the
President until the end of 2010. The Vice President, Prof. Moonhor Ree of Pohang
Accelerator Lab, will assume the presidency starting January 2011 for a 2-year term. I am
sure he is also enthusiatic about the cooperation.
As you may know, I just moved to National Chiao Tung University to take a chair professor
position. My main job is to promote the sciences by the use of large facilities at theuniversities. As part of the acts, I will offer a couse on Special Topics of X-ray and Neutron
Scattering at the graduate school. I have invited both Profs. W. H. Li and C. H. Lee of
TWNSS to give lectures at my class. I will also maintain a consulting role with NSRRC andalso continue to serve in the Executive Council fo AOFSRR for another two years. In thatcapacity, I would be happy to help the promotion of regional cooporations in bothsynchrotron and neutron sciences.
I feel quite rewarding of the experiences in serving AOFSRR in the past several years under
the leaadership of Dr. Osamu Shimomura. The diversity nature of the region, both
ecomonically and culturally, is a big challenge to bring us together. Personally, it is quite anhonor to have the opportunity to serve such a fast growing community. I am looking forward
to working with people in both AONSA and AOFSRR in the future.

Advisor)73

Dear Keng,
We are very impressed to know your AOFSRR actively playing a crucialrole in scientific/technological development as well as political influence for synchrotron
radiation research in our Asia-Oceania Region.
In August 2008 we, neutron scatters in our Region, established the AsiaOceania Neutron Scattering Association (AONSA; http://www.aonsa.org/) to provide aplatform for discussion and a focus for action in neutron scattering and related topics in the
Asia-Oceania Region. Under Prof. Mahn Won Kim’s Presidency in the first term (Aug.
2008 – Dec. 2009) and Prof. John White’s in the second term (Jan. 2010 – Dec. 2011) , wehave also intensively conducted various activities such as the annual AONSA Neutron School,
the quadrennial Asia-Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering (AOCNS), the biannual
AONSA Prize and issuing AONSA Newsletter twice a year. We have also held the
Executive Committee Meeting twice a year at different country/region to promote andencourage their neutron society/community.
At the recent Executive Committee Meeting, we seriously discussed any
possible cooperation with Synchrotron Radiation community in our Region to exchange
information on conference, school, workshop, facility reports, new projects etc. and to let ourmembers access to it regionwide. The Vice President has been assigned to take a duty forsuch an outreach activity toward our mutual benefit with your AOFSRR.
My present letter on behalf of AONSA is to propose such cooperation withyour AOFSRR. We would like to start this cooperation as simply as possible. When it’sneeded, however, we’ll conclude any Agreement at any level between AOFSRR and AONSA
in the future.
Looking forward to your kind consideration and cooperation on this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Yasuhiko Fujii
Vice President of AONSA
P.S.

Attached please find two files for the recent two issues of AONSA Newsletter.

--------------------------- Feb. 9, 2011 -------------------------Dear Prof. Fujii,First of all, I thank you very much for your great efforts on the AONSA. And, I am pleased tohear that your community has the first AOCNSA in coming November. This conference looks
very attractive and valuable to the neutron users as well as to the synchrotron users. I will
circulate this conference to colleagues here. I hope that the AOFSRR council members agreewith me and circulate it too. I hope the AOFSRR members will attend this conference andmake contributions.
As communicated so far, I hope that the AONSA and AOFSRR members continue
discussions for cooperation and then start cooperation works as soon as possible. Maybe it is
the best way to start with easy ones. Please give ideas and comments.
At this moment, I would also like to inform you and AONSA community that for the
AOFSRR community, we have the 6th AOFSRR Workshop in Imperial Qeenn’s Park Hotel,
Bangkok on October 25-27, 2011. I will let you know its homepage soon. Please circulate
this workshop to the AONSA community.
Again, your efforts on the AONSA community and the AOFSRR community areappreciated very much.
With best wishes,
Moonhor Ree

Good news since last meeting137Bragg Institute building extension: approved

Report on recent activities in the Bragg Institute, ANSTO
to the AONSA Executive Committee; Bandung 20 May 2011
Shane Kennedy, Technical Director, Bragg Institute
1. OPAL reactor•In 2010 OPAL was available for 279 days:•But Cold source was out of action for 43 of those days due to technical problems.
•CNS out of action since Xmas 2010, but restarted on 14 May.
•There are large backlogs of experiments on Reflectometer & SANS. (~6 months)
2. Bragg User program•There are seven neutron beam instruments & National Deuteration Facility in operation.
•In 2010 approximately 200 beam days were used (~160 in cold instruments).
•OPAL is in its sixth proposal round for usage, seventh closes on 22nd May). We have now moved to regular 6month calls (May & Nov)
•Proposal success rate is around 60% -70%
•Statistics for users are:
47% Australian community,
31% overseas, and
22% ANSTO.
3. Current Instrument developments•There are 6 nbi's under development (including the three that were funded in the 2009 Federal Govt, economic
stimulus package).
•2 more NBI's will be commissioned this year (TOF-INS & cold-TAS (Taiwan))•The other 4 are due for completion in 2013
4. Future Instrument developments•We have funding for building extensions to the Bragg Institute (> 120 people + co-location of NDF labs)•We have capacity for 4-5 more instruments in current ngh & rbh•We see a challenge in growing the Australian community rapidly to match the projected growth in instrument
capabilities.
•We are working on a strategy for development of 2nd guide hall (with further 14 instruments).

March 22 (Tue): JLAN for network restarted its operation.
March 23 (Wed): Discussion of Electric Utilities– Out of two major transformers, one for Linac and 3 GeV was inclined, whereas
other for MR was OK. On March 23 it turned out that Linac transformer isrecoverable, though.
– In order to avoid Secondary Damages, a quick recovery for electricity is important
for lights, pumping water, etc. Motor-driven generators were purchased.

Status #2 (2011.4.1.)•

March 24 (Thu): Water level for Linac increased.
– 10 cm deep water in Linac tunnel was detected.
– Water utility became available for office. No air conditions for the office yet.

•

March 25 (Fri): Electricity started to recover.
– Pumping water for Linac with motor-driven generator. Due that water is highly
alkalescent (PH11), anti-alkali acid has to be prepared to dump water.
– Electricity for central control room for PHS telephone connection succeeded.
– Explanation to MEXT. Also, proposed the 1st suppl. budget.

•

March 28 (Mon): Electricity recovery accelerated.
– All the water was removed from Linac. Lights on for MR, Neutrino, Hadron and MLF.

Status for Linac on March 24.

Crack observed on March 28 after pumping water.

Status #3 (2011.4.1.)•

March 28 (Mon): Inspection for MR, Neutrino and Hadron initiated.
– Lights for MR, Neutrino and Hadron were recovered using the main transformer.

•

March 29 (Tue):– Water for MR, neutrino and hadron came from cracks at walls inside MR tunnel.
The PH is 8, so that no acids are needed. From 3/29 the full pumping started.
– Linac and 3 GeV: Using still motor-driven generators for electricity.

•

March 31 (Thu): J-PARC Center Meeting– RCS (3 GeV), a big worry is a sharply bent electric wires (shown below).
– Neutron Source: Shielding walls were displaced significantly (see, next page).

Sharply bent electric wires.

䞉 Electric Power: Except 3 GeV powers are now recovered (some Linac is not yet available.).
䞉 Cooling Water: Not yet available for the entire facilities.

Future Plans
䞉 For MR, Neutrino and Hadron: We try to complete the job by October. Due to the delayof electric power for Linac and 3 GeV, we aim at starting beam tuning by December.
䞉 Within JFY2011 we set a goal to have 2 cycle operation for users.
䞉 Based on this, both KEK and JAEA submitted the supplemental budget on April 22.
䞉 Scheduling, in particular, for construction and repairs for buildings and roads are
currently being negotiated both within JAEA and KEK.
