2. Integrated Systems Testing - Startup • NSTX-U ISTP, Commissioning, and Startup will follow the same process as NSTX initial commissioning and startup from February 1999. Four components to post construction Startup • 1 - Activity Certification Committee (ACC) review, • 2 - ORA, • 3 - Completion of sub-system PTP’s, • 4 - Run startup procedure NSTX-02, with inclusion of new sub-systems • (1) Activity Certification Committee review of newly installed sub-systems and collateral devices; including --> new center stack, NBI-2, (coil protection) controls / interlocks / set-points, new diagnostics. ACC membership includes; 1 from PPPL Physics, 3 from PPPL Engineering, 1 from PPPL Safety, 2 from PAO The ACC will review applicable documentation (FDR chit resolution, completed PTP’s), perform physical walk-down of the newly installed sub-systems, which may include new diagnostics. An ACC findings report will be sent to the PPPL Deputy Director of Operations and the NSTX Operations Manager with recommendations regarding inclusion of new sub-systems into standard NSTX operations. ACC concerned with safety to the environment, personnel safety, machine safety 2

3. Integrated Systems Testing - Startup • (2) ACC review, scheduled to occur prior to (DOE) Operational Readiness Assessment. Open items, non-compliances, safety concerns will be identified by the ACC prior to ORA review. Punch-list items will be provided to the project and would be available to the ORA • (3) Post successful completion of sub-system Pre-operational Test Procedures (PTP), NSTX-02 “ Startup of NSTX” will be revised to bring the new sub-systems on-line for NSTX-U operations. NSTX-02 will serve as the base procedure which integrates the new sub-systems into (integrated) standard NSTX-U operations * - (4) Run NSTX-02 Procedure “Startup of NSTX “ which will be revised to include new center stack, second neutral beam, and new operational parameters. Additionally, sign-offs from sub-system cog(s) and ACC chair will be included in startup check list * * Note : Steps 3 and 4 are reoccurring tasks which are conducted at the end of each NSTX outage for newly installed sub-systems prior to startup 3

4. Integrated Systems Testing - Startup Components of Job 7900 - Integrated System Test TaskDeliverables • Prepare NBI2 and CS ISTP Test Procedures Completed PTP’s (by Cogs) for NBI-2 and CS. Revised NSTX-02 • Conduct ACC Review for upgrades Completed ACC review with sub- system walk-down(s) and report with recommendations. Interface with ORA team as required. New diagnostics may also be included • Perform ISTP Working with COE, run NSTX-02 to bring CS and NBI-2 into standard NSTX-U machine operations 4

5. Integrated Systems Testing - Startup Final Conditions - ORA review completed, concurrence to commence machine startup with new configuration - NSTX-02 ( with sub-system integration ) successfully implemented - NSTX-U operating with new sub-systems @ new design parameters 5
