Mike,

 

NBI Upgrade:   The Vacuum Vessel plasma cutting technique required for the Bay J, K, & L modifications has been tested in situ by use on the tFIDA diagnostics penetrations this outage. Use of this technique also confirms that some but minimal grinding will be necessary as is planned. Additional prototyping of this technique is planned in the shops in the near future. Work on drawings on electrical and services packages continues. Management attended the CS weekly meeting to review the list of anticipated analyses needed for the CS and NBI Peer Reviews. Some notable progress on analysis, calculations, and checking was reported.

 

 

Regards,

 

Tim
