This report suggests a technical assessment analysis method that reflects the characteristics of large research equipment & facilities based on ‘A Study of Standard Guidelines for Preliminary Feasibility Survey on R&D Projects (1st Edition).’ (A preliminary feasibility survey refers to a general evaluation based on technical, economic, and policy feasibility analyses. In this report, technical feasibility is examined.)
In addition, it handles issues in a preliminary feasibility survey on the investments in large research equipment & facilities, covers technical feasibility analysis methods and examples for the improvement of efficiency in large research facility investments, and discovers a technical feasibility analysis system. This report is a summary of a study conducted for the purpose of improving the efficiency of large research facility investments. It is not related to current policies and guidelines.
