Subject:                          NBI Upgrade Weekly Status 3/25/11

 

Mike,

 

NBI Upgrade:  A NBI meeting was held this week to discuss job status and plans. Most notably, the TVPS system design details made very significant progress in the last two weeks. Analysis for the magnetic shielding was completed and a calculation report drafted for review. The TVPS model can now be updated so supports can be finalized and drawings can be generated. Efforts on drawings continued on the BL services. Work continues on the details and the analysis of the Bay K and Bay L VV modifications and the interstitial vessel wall between them. Reinforcements are planned to address stresses in this area. Thermal analysis on the armor has been refined with improved graphite data for a final set of passes for the ATJ graphite tile choice.

 

To free space for Center Stack fabrication, NBI crews will participate in clearing the CS high bay to make room for the Center Stack oven. This move requires relocation of hardware to the TFTR Test Cell. Planning for this move is underway. Refurbishment activities on the BL in the TFTR TC will resume after this move has been completed.

 

 

Regards,

 

Tim
