Late delivery of conductors and rework of vendor supplied quadrant mold Neutral Beam relocated ahead of schedule Forecast Aug 4 2014 Early Finish Sept 30 2014 CD-4 SEPT 30 2015

  34. Lehman Review Dec 11-12 -Conclusions Construction efforts are being executed safely. The project presently has adequate resources and necessary skills mix to execute the project. However, the impact of the possible loss of key personnel if a laboratory staff reduction is required is unknown. The Project team has implemented the required action to update the Risk Registry resulting from the status review in May 2012. Particular emphasis has been placed on using the detailed schedule to manage and accelerate procurements. The current project cost and schedule projections are consistent with the approved baseline cost and schedule. Contingency remaining is adequate for the risks that remain. The management structure is in place to deliver the scope within budget and schedule. Risks are being actively managed.

  35. Lehman Review Dec 11-12 - Recommendations • Develop a comprehensive facility readiness plan and schedule including both project and non-project items. Present plan at the next review. • Assign adequate personnel to assure completion of the Digital Coil Protection System on the original baseline schedule. • Reassess the potential impacts of the loss of critical skills and personnel and update the risk registry by February 1, 2013. • Prepare a plan for startup readiness that is acceptable to by the Site Office prior to the next review.

  36. NSTX Upgrade Summary • The project has maintained a safe working environment. • The project continues to make good technical progress. • The project is on schedule and cost. • The project is sufficiently staffed to meet schedule. • The project is on track for meeting CD-2 baseline within OFES guidance.
