Highlights 13 years of workshops building a strong community There are more than 200 individuals on the Accelerator Community Monthly Call invitation list Workshop attendance continues demonstrates your commitment Fusion now a member of our Community (2015) International invitations and involvement has evolved with good participation each year European Spallation Source (ESS), Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (JPARC), European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), TRI University Meson Facility (TRIUMF), European Synchrotron Radiation Facilty (ESRF) 5
Accomplishments Regulatory Framework: Order, Guide and Technical Standard We have done an excellent job of: Building our Community of Practice Strengthening our Relationships Collaboration (HQ, Programs, Field Offices and Labs/Sites) Our community works issues: Safety and Configuration Management, Decommissioning and Sustainability, Instrumentation, Software and Lessons Learned* 6
Conclusion DOE is a stakeholder, Our Contractors are our partners, Operational Excellence is an Expectation. To be successful, we must continually improve. Success is a balance of quality objectives! Help us define our quality objectives and get involved, plug in and share your experiences. Looking forward to another Great Workshop! 7
