Subject: NBI Upgrade Weekly Status 8/7/09
Al,

NBI Upgrade:  Project management attended the first NSTX Upgrade ITP meeting. In addition to status and plans, HP coverage and staffing was discussed to address ongoing issues. Cognizant Engineers continued working on cost and schedule estimates including followup on action items from the July review. The NTC Equipment Relocation cost estimate WAF is complete.

NBI Decon:  The procedure to remove the 90 inch flange is complete and approved. The removal of the 90 inch flange is scheduled for later this month. The procedure for removing the lid is in progress. The lid fixture has been moved into the Test Cell for trial fit ups later next week. HP coverage was limited this week so no decon work was performed. The ERWM group removed bags of radioactive laundry from the test cell for processing and also received a shipment of cleaned laundry to support decon operations.


Regards,

Tim
