All scope remains as planned. TPC remains ‘on-target’. CD-4 date remains ‘on-target’ .

How’s the baseline?

FPD Analysis Center Stack construction efforts still critical path, significant efforts made in

OH winding operations since last review

CS Assembly efforts shifted to D-Site to allow for parallel efforts

Schedule thoroughly scrubbed for opportunities to improve completion date

Bottoms up EAC will provide confidence in validating cost and schedule needs to attain CD-4

4

The Project has realized significant cost/schedule contingency usage in completion of the Center Stack work-scope; recent efforts have arrested this trend. Quality has been excellent.

Transition to Operations Progress?

Operational Readiness Assessment Planned

•The ORA will cover all NSTX-U systems: project upgrades, research upgrades and restart of existing systems that have been dormant.

•Pete Kelley (BHSO), an experience DOE Fac Rep, to lead the team

•Focus on safety of personnel and equipment

•PPPL Activity Certification (ACC) Process being used to return NSTX-U to operations – Princeton Site Office direct participation

•PSO engaged FES, SC-31, and PPPL in reviewing Accelerator Safety Order for relevant elements based on October OPA review.

•Path forward still under discussion.

Construction Progress?

Overall Progress is satisfactory. . .All construction efforts are well underwaySafety performance has been excellent to date

Critical Path. . .Remains through the construction of new Center Stack assemblyOH Coil Winding in progress in Center Stack Fabrication facility; layer 1 complete, transition to layer 2 in progress. Five of six high risk Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) efforts completed satisfactory (only OH VPI remains)

Management. . .EVMS system in place and fully functioning Construction proceeding well in NSTX Test CellAll previous Review Recommendations addressedProject is getting the resources it needs

Project has made significant strides in maintaining critical path schedule since last review. Contingency usage rate has decreased as well.

Good communication between PPPL and Site Office.

Estimates are updated regularly. Six month EAC update in progress.

Funding and human resources are in place.

Elements of DOE Order 413.3B are met.

Technical quality remains high… This is very important.

Office of SciencePrinceton Site Office Charge Questions

1. Critical Path Construction Efforts: Does the Project team have a realistic, executable schedule for Center Stack (CS) remaining construction efforts? Does the project have adequate resources and the appropriate skills mix to execute the remainder of the project per the plan?

2. Baseline Cost and Schedule: Are the current project cost and schedule projections consistent with the approved baseline cost and schedule? Is the contingency remaining adequate for the risks that remain?

3. Management: Evaluate the management structure as to its adequacy to deliver the scope within budget and schedule. Are risks being actively managed? Has the project responded satisfactorily to the recommendations from the previous project reviews?
