1.  ETC Update Issues

• Status summary was issued by Ron
• Estimates submitted and internally reviewed:
  
  • WBS 81, 82
  • WBS 85 (but revisions required, and e-beam mapping plan needed.)
    
    • A draft e-beam mapping plan has been documented by Fredrickson.  A follow-up peer review is planned for Tusday, March 27.  Action: Hutch to arrange.
      
  • WBS 6 (but forced-air bakeout system needs to be estimated. Action: Larry)
    
• Estimates submitted (or imminent) and reviews to be scheduled.
  
  • WBS 2, 3, 4, 5, 14 (winding ops).  Action:  Ron to schedule reviews this week.
    
• Estimates still outstanding. Job manager input due first week of April.
  
  • WBS 1 (most of), 7, 62
    
• Cryostat (WBS 171)
  
  • Peer review of proposed cryostat architecture conducted last week provided basis for proceeding with estimate, including vendor quotes for fabrication.  Gettelfinger is following up.
    
• Coil Services (WBS 16)
  
  • Next meeting will be scheduled March 22 at 1:30, during ORNL team visit to PPPL.  Action: Hutch & Mike C. to arrange.

  • Schedule variances (negative): MC interface design, MCWF production, MC winding operations, FPA tooling/constructability.
  • Schedule variances (positive): FPA operations.
