193 SPring-8 consisting of accelerators, beamlines and facilities for users, was constructed by the JAERI/RIKEN Project Team during the period from 1991 through 1997 at the total cost of about 110 billion yen. In 1994, JASRI was designated by the Law regarding Promotion of Common Use of the Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SPring-8) as the Organization for the Promotion of Synchrotron Radiation Research to be responsible for managing SPring-8. As a result, the SPring-8 research complex has been formed by JAERI Kansai Research Establishment, RIKEN Harima Institute and JASRI. JASRI has been en- trusted by JAERI and RIKEN with the operation, maintenance, improve- ment, upgrading, R&D and safety management of SPring-8 as well as the technical support for the new beamline construc- tion since the construction of main facilities and buildings at SPring-8 was completed and the public use started in 1997. As mentioned before, JAERI withdrew from SPring-8 management on Septem- ber 30, 2005, becoming an independent administrative institution called Japan Atomic Agency (JAEA). Since then, SPring-8 has been managed by the two-party, i.e., RIKEN and JASRI. About 80% of the total budget of JASRI comes from the Government through JAERI and RIKEN to be appropriated for the above-mentioned missions of JASRI and the remaining 11% comes directly from the Government in the form of a grant for user support. Figure 8 illustrates the budget at SPring-8. It shows that the total budget for JASRI for FY2005 was 9,651 million yen, and the total budget for RIKEN was 2,374 million yen. As can be seen from the figure, the budgets for JAERI and RIKEN have reduced since FY2001. It is because the construction such as utility facilities is approaching completion; meanwhile construction of beamlines is stopped due to lack of budget. In FY2005, the total number of JASRI staff was 504. The total number of SPring-8 staff amounts to 1,172 when the number of staff at JAEA Kansai Research Establishment and RIKEN Harima Institute is combined with the number of JASRI staff. The numbers of staff by the types and fields of employment are illustrated in Fig. 9. 0 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 30,000 35,000 FY1997 FY1998 FY1999 FY2000 FY2001 FY2002 FY2003 FY2004 FY2005 JAERI JASRI RIKEN Million Ye Y Y n 13,266 12 772 8,560 13,029 11,663 12,035 11,803 11,667 10,516 10,556 9,651 7,296 11,884 5,696 6,559 4,350 4,176 2,223 2,587 2,374 4,983 5,170 2,691 2,167 582 582 692 692 527 527 888 888 747 747 Fig. 8.
