This action has been delayed and required remedial work due to a software changeover to a new system in Drafting but upgrade work has resumed. Discussions at this week's CS meeting included the MPTS chit on RWM asymmetry for VV reinforcements. This chit has driven additional design and analysis to optimize VV reinforcements. NBI Refurbishment: Preparations are underway to build the Ion Dump water manifold and build the shipping frame required to send the ion dump assembly out for brazing. Regards, Tim Timothy N.
