Summary

The meeting was
abbreviated due to light attendance resulting from conflicts and
absences.
1. Producing the FDR Deliverables
-
The project will schedule peer reviews of critical design
and analysis deliverables between now and the May Final Design Review. The
recent port configuration peer review was the first example. Brad estimates
that it will require up to 4 peer reviews per week to address all the issues.
-
Please remember to invite Greg Pitonak to all reviews.
-
Wayne has issued a memo addressing the vacuum vessel and
conventional coils design plans. It addresses the scope of the Vacuum Vessel
final design review planned for May, proposes a set of peer review topics, and
identifies some near-term actions. See Attached. Action: Wayne to follow up
with assignees and develop a review schedule.
-
Brad reported that the requested list of final design
deliverables is nearing completion.
-
A follow-up peer review of the vacuum vessel port
configuration will be held this Friday. Action: Brad contact Larry Dudek
and/or Bob Simmons to make arrangements.
-
A report of the vacuum vessel thermal analysis is in
preparation and will then be peer reviewed. Possibly this Wednesday.
-
Brad reported that the coil interferences during assembly
are being resolved without the need to modify the VV shell geometry. That is
good news. Action: Wayne and Brad decide on the process for freezing the
geometry.
2. FY04
Financial Status
-
Financial situation has been assessed based on the new
ECP-005 baseline and January cost performance update.
-
Ron has issued updated WAFs and a spreadsheet detailing
resource needs by month, with individuals called out by name. Please review
and address the issues that are highlighted there.
-
PPPL has applied constraints on project’s discretionary
spending. As a result, plans for procuring the production modular coil
conductor and constructing the DC cable support towers are being deferred to
next fiscal year.
-
The project is requesting a transfer of $311k from PPPL
to ORNL to support planned work, per the current WAFs.
-
Brad reported that ORNL is working to get 3 more people
on board to support FDR preparations.
-
PPPL will contract with Peter Titus and Len Myatt to
support analysis activities. Dick Reed will be retained to support the
materials properties effort.
-
NCSX plans a significant ramp-up in PPPL labor for
the rest of the fiscal year and is working with the Engineering Department to
make arrangements.
3. Next SIT
Meeting: Planning for next Monday, February 23, 2004, at 11:00 a.m.
