Summary

On July 1 a meeting was held with PPPL, Rohwedder, and Major Tool representatives in attendance and ORNL representatives with Bob Keilbach in conference. Items discussed included the VVSA joint concepts, the VVSA geometry, a review of the FDR documentation (SOW, SPEC, and drawings), a demonstration of PPPL's present metrology capability and a tour of PPPL.The meeting was useful in conveying some of the concerns and restraints of the NCSX vacuum vessel design as well as getting input from the vendors.

On July 8 the NCSX PVVS FDR was held (announcement below). The final signed off PVVS SOW, SPEC and promoted drawings were presented. It resulted in 5 chits and deemed successful. The design review documentation results (including attendee list) and chits are attached:

In summary, the following issues were raised:

1) Verify that NEPA and USQD documentation is satisfactory - Wayne Reiersen

2) Plate welds will have the root on the inside - Mike Viola to convey

3) CHIT 1 Verify translation of models into fabrication CAM files - Larry Sutton to convey the following direction - please include in your MIT/QA plan for the PVVS, steps for verifying your geometry as follows:

a) Import our geometry in either step or native format.

b) Send the file that you will develop for the PVVS fabrication to PPPL (in STEP if you are not using Pro-E, and in Pro-E native format otherwise).

c) PPPL will perform a comparison check and advise if the files

are approved for fabrication.

4) CHIT 2 Develop criteria for checking the model and perform that check - Mike Cole

5) CHIT 3 WBS12 to include analysis of gravity loads in October PDR - Paul Goranson

6) CHIT 4 Update the PVVS work plan job #1202 to include receipt QA inspection including dimensional check. - Mike Viola

7) CHIT 5 Update the PVVS work plan to include metrology development

requirements and equipment procurement to meet those requirements - Paul

Goranson

Thank you all for your hard work in getting us through to this point.
