DOE Annual Review Findings
� The Hub is doing very well and is
adhering to management plans as
described in their proposal.
� Therefore, and in keeping with the
“light federal touch” philosophy for
the Hubs, the Hub management
10
structure meets all the DOE
oversight obligations as described in
the OMB Circulars and DOE Orders.
� The review team had no major
recommendations for changes to the
current CASL structure or technical
work.

Review Team Suggestions
� The Review Team Provided Four Suggestions to the CASL
Management
• Continued vigilance for financial issues as CASL moves out of startup phase to longer term
• Further define the “test stands” proposed by CASL to deploy early versions of the virtual reactor to
11
startup phase to longer term operations
• Work to fully integrate the outputs of all six Functional Areas into the CASL products
versions of the virtual reactor to industry
• Spend time defining the path for CASL developed products out of the Hub to allow broader impact of U.S. energy security
