Effort continues on drawings. Chit resolution for the single NBI FDR chit was readily resolved because it was a near duplicate of an EIR recommendation which had already been addressed earlier this fiscal year. NBI Refurbishment: Ion dump full energy plate fabrication continues in the shop. Ion source refurbishment has started on a first source for the upgrade to take advantage of efficiencies gained by following the spare source rebuilds for operations this past outage. Reassembly of the BL 90 inch flange OMA boxes began in the Test Cell. Surveys of contamination indicate that levels have stayed low. Air breathing hoods were not required for this reassembly step. Magnet surveys were also performed and likewise low levels were indicated. HP coverage continues to keep pace with this effort. Regards, Tim Timothy N.
