2. NSTX-U Team Meeting Agenda • Time: 2:30 ~ 4:00, December 4 (Thursday), 2014 • Place: LSB 318, PPPL • • General Items (15 minutes) • • Program Items (15 minutes) • • Data management policy (15 minutes) • • Upgrade Project (15 minutes) • • Engineering Operations (15 minutes) • • Research Operations (15 minutes)

3. Safely, Safely, Safely ES&H Issues (J. Levine) • ESHD 5008 (PPPL Safety Manual) Section 11 Chapter 1 requires the NSTX-U Project to prepare a Safety Assessment Document (SAD) and to obtain a Safety Certificate authorizing operations.  The SAD must include identification of hazards associated with operations and methods employed for their mitigation. • SADs are reviewed and approved by the PPPL Safety Review Committee and the NSTX-U Activity Certification Committee (ACC-appointed by ES&H Executive Board). • The Safety Certificate constitutes PPPL approval to conduct operation of NSTX-U within the conditions and/or constraints indicated therein (e.g., limits on annual neutron production, limits on lithium inventory in the NTC, limits on dTMB – deuterized trimethylborane inventory in the NTC, etc.). It is Issued by the PPPL ES&H Executive Board based on ACC recommendations, and will be posted in the Control Room. • If future proposed changes to NSTX-U could impact the SAD hazard analysis and/or the Safety Certificate, the ACC will be asked to review these changes and recommend to the ES&H Executive Board whether to modify the NSTX-U Safety Certificate to authorize operations with the proposed changes.

4. Safely, Safely, Safely • • A recent serious injury • • Office Safety Group Meeting - In keeping with PPPL's goal to provide a safe work environment, we have scheduled group meetings on office safety at PPPL. The hazards of office work are significant and many people suffer serious injuries in their offices every year.  The PPPL safety staff will cover a broad range of office safety topics including - how we can protect ourselves from being hurt. You are required to attend one of the two sessions that have been scheduled: • • Friday - December 5, 2014  - 2pm - LSB Auditorium • • Thursday - December 18, 2014 - 2pm - LSB Auditorium • Thank you for your help in keeping PPPL a safe workplace. MikeZarnstorff • • NSTX-U operational preparation activity (e.g., diagnostic installation) is commencing and we need to be extra cautious regarding safety! • • Winter weather is here! • - Proper protective clothing / equipment for outdoor work, keep warm • - Slippery road and walk-way conditions – Wear rubber sole shoes and be mindful of surfaces conditions • - Proper exercise – warm up • z Wish you happy holidays!

5. Activities between CD4 and Research Run Important to optimize them to start the timely research run! Short Vent to Install New Diagnostics (no manned entry!) only if needed. Data Acquisition & Diagnostics Commissioning Ex-Vessel Diagnostic Installations Gas Delivery System Final Checks Magnetics Debugging Beamline #1 Final Checks Commissioning Ip<=1.0 MA, BT<=0.5 Breakdown and current ramp scenarios EFIT & rtEFIT Reconstructions Shape & position control Reliable H-mode Diagnostic operations DCPS under plasma operations Boronizaton +He GDC for PFCs Calibrations: Magnetic MSE CHERS Neutrons Boronization / GDC We will try to move the short vent before CD-4. We will also perform MPTS Rayleigh Raman before CD-4 if possible. We will try to minimize the commisioning time to move on to the research run as quickly as possible.

6. Nominal NSTX-U run schedule for FY2015 Nov. 2014 Dec. 2014 Jan. 2015 Feb. 2015 Mar. 2015 Apr. 2015 May 2015 Jun. 2015 Jul. 2015 Aug 2015 Sep. 2015 • Aquapour + CS casing installation issues caused a CD-4 delay of ~ 3-4 weeks • ~ 2 month period allocated between CD-4 and research plasma operations  CD-4 in mid-March, research ops in mid-May • Plan: ~12-14 run weeks (assumes 1 maintenance week / month) • If machine is running well at end of FY15, may run into early FY16 • Provide additional data for APS 2015 and IAEA synopses for 2016 ISTP / Comm Bakeout Research Plasma Operation 14 Run Weeks CD4
