APPENDIX 2 



HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES 



For U.S. facilities, the values in fiscal year 198A dollars are 

 estimated by escalating construction costs, except where the replace- 

 ment value is estimated in several cases. Due to advances in techno- 

 logy, the cost of accelerator replacement would, in most cases, be 

 much lower than escalated construction costs. In addition, if the 

 costs of U.S. facilities are compared to those of foreign facilities, 

 it should be recognized that it is common practice abroad not to 

 include as construction costs the cost of laboratory manpower and 

 laboratory services, such as machine shops. Such costs can account 

 for one-half of the cost of a construction project in high-energy 

 physics.
