Mike,

 

NBI Upgrade:  Due to a change in personnel on the NBIU project, efforts have focussed on realigning jobs and handing off scope to appropriate engineers. This process has been completed. The NBI Peer Review has been scheduled for April 19, 2011. An agenda will be developed but will follow the previous in house peer review format. Armor analysis continued to document scenarios for the upcoming peer review and FDR. Effort on the turbopump magnetic shielding analysis has indicated that the TVPS design is sound. A minor physical adjustment will be incorporated and the confirmatory analysis will be completed to show that the turbos will be as good or better than the existing design despite closer proximity to the machine. With this last piece of the TVPS in place, structural details will now be finalized. Efforts continue on drawings for BL, power, services, controls, and TVPS. A small peer review was held to discuss the upcoming vacuum vessel modification mockup tests planned for next month in the Technical Shop. A draft Test Plan has been written and was discussed. This review also discussed concerns about bracing and installation of the Bay K cap weldment including lift fixtures.

Tim
