Abstract
Recycling the existing Main Ring quadrupoles presented engineering with an array of technical and environmental problems. The solution addressed the higher Main Injector vacuum requirements, maximization of the horizontal aperture, longitudinal space limitations, magnet recycling time constraints, tooling costs, and minimizing radioactive debris. Inserting a newly processed oval tube inside the existing star shaped tube eliminated the need to separate the welded and epoxied half cores, thus satisfying all the criteria
