Al,
NBI
Upgrade: Project Management participated in the Office of Science NSTXU Project
Readiness Review. The review was generally considered successful. The Lehman
review team provided a straightforward path toward CD-2 and project baseline
approval. Project management began planning an external cost and schedule
review as recommended.
NBI
Decon:  Decon included BL exit baffle door piece, cryo pipes, source
platform, and the BL external water rack. Much progress has been made. Test
Cell area maintenance has been performed on a routine basis. Planning and
preparation for taking core samples of the copper on the ion dump continues.
Regards,
Tim
