NSTX NSTX Team Meeting June 30, ES&H Issues (J. Levine) Dear PPPL'ers, The safety of all PPPL employees (that includes everyone working at PPPL!) is of the utmost importance, and we therefore have a safety program that is designed to prevent injuries. However, injuries do occur; when a safety incident occurs, our response to the injury is of great importance. A critical component of our safety program is that you report any injury that occurs at work and, most importantly, that you seek medical attention when needed. The reason that I emphasize this point is that it is possible that our high safety standards could inhibit the reporting of incidents. This is not our intention. There should never be any hesitation whatsoever with regard to reporting an injury (or even a near-injury) or seeking medical attention. Any hesitation would actually decrease our safety. Early reporting and quick treatment is the best path to speedy recovery. A safe work environment requires full communication of injuries and ready access to medical care. Regards, Stewart Prager, Director, PPPL Summer vacatiion time is coming. Please have a good time but also please keep the safety in mind! Ladder safety, helmet for bicycle, PPE for yard work, defensive driving… Safely, Safely, Safely

NSTX NSTX Team Meeting June 30, NSTX Issues We are entering the final weeks of our NSTX operations! The machine is running very well and we are at run weeks. Our aim this year was 16 run weeks which maybe reached by August 7 if all goes well. Due to the new capabilities being implemented for the remainder of the run (HHFW upgrade, CHI absorber coils, lithium droppers, reversed B T ), we decided to run till August 14. The outage activities will start in the evening of August 14. This will likely to make our run distribution to 17 run weeks this year and 16 in FY Our plan is to run 28 run weeks + 5 ARRA funded run weeks in FY So please plan accordingly. The upcoming outage activity is very full. LLD and BES are the top priority upgrade items. We will try to squeeze in other tasks if possible. It will be a good stretch (6+ run weeks). Let us work together to make the FY 2010 run as successful as it can be!
