MC Simulation and R.A. budget updates:

Maxim:
SaG4n rolling. Comparison TENDL vs JENDEL looks good. Discrepancy NeuCBOT - SaG4n too big. Step size to be tuned or wrong biasing
New discussion with Vicente Pending.

Need to evaluate the latest results (Gd and conenctors).

Cosmogenics:
New Ar activation studies presented. Possible meeting with Andrea et al. about Ar transportation to tune the details about transportation (not urgent). Results: 0.022 mBq/kg (negligible compared to 0.73 mBq/kg). Important safety margin.

Surface contamination:

SS sheet ready to be shipped to Legnaro (Cu sheet already at Legnaro)
Meeting with the TPC working group needed to calirfy the SS parts size and welding still to be organized.
SS-Electropolishing probably too expensive. It is necessary to investigate whether there a re commercial companies able to do that.

VETO cleaning protocol: Can we conclude whether we need it?
