Subject: NBI Upgrade Weekly Status 9/18/09
Al,
NBI Upgrade:  WAF reviews have taken place on management, sources, 
decontamination, power and control, duct, TVPS, vacuum vessel modifications, NBI 
armor, BL refurbishment, relocation, and services. A WAF review of NTC equipment 
relocations has been scheduled for next week. Additional work on the BL 
refurbishment WAF is needed. The need for a separate WAF for Health Physics 
technical support has been identified and started. Evaluations of project risks 
and retirement of those risks have been the focus of discussion in addition to 
technical, cost, and schedule items. 
NBI Decon:  Decontamination work has proceeded steadily on the magnet, 
magnet shield, and 90 inch flange. Levels have been dropping steadily. Some 
shield disassembly has begun to improve access to surfaces. Decontamination 
floor areas have been expanded to provide room for parts. Techniques for decon 
on the box and lid are being evaluated. To support decontamination efforts, 
an additional HP technician has been identified and hired. Training is underway 
and nearly complete.
Regards,
Tim
