Notes from 7/13/2011 Meeting:
Calculation Spreadsheet ( Heitzenroeder)
Action: Chrzanowski to review Design point spreadsheet calc
Menard has reviewed his two assigned calculation checks

VV Mods (Denault/Labik)
Cap has been changed and analyzed, the reinforcement areas still need some work. Need to 
assign another analyst to finish this work in a timely manner (By September). Action: Dudek
Denault has the analysis results and needs to feedback changes to Smith for incorporation into 
model. Action: Denault

OH Coil Lead Analysis (Mardenfeld)
 (see VGs)
Analysis of the OH leads and buss supports concluded that some minor 
reinforcements to the conductor to flag connection and the last buss support 
would reduce stresses to acceptable levels. The calculation is being finalized 
for release to checking early next week.
 
Update on calculations for thickerNSTX Upgrade passive plates (Menard)
Menard reran his analysis using 1" passive plates.   With the thicker plates he found the net 
toroidal current unchanged, about 50-70% increase in maximum circulating current and maximum 
current density decreases somewhat, that is, the force density is lower, but total force is higher
