12. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 12 Budget Status DOE Funding consistent with and supportive of early finish * Our obligational control level during the CR is at the AT level so PPPL has flexibility to “protect” the MIE project from CR perturbations. *

14. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 14 Charge question #1 1.Construction Efforts: a)Are construction efforts being executed safely? b)Does the project have adequate resources and the appropriate skills mix to execute the project per the plan? NSTX Upgrade project continues to have an excellent safety record. One recordable non-lost time incident during the period. Trained, experienced and engaged workers and supervisors continue to use well-developed work planning & control processes, combined with support and oversight of ES&H professionals to ensure that NSTX-U construction is being executed safely. This was evidenced by the many successful major lifts and VPI operations. Overall the current staff levels on-board are adequate to execute the project schedule. Critical skills (i.e. welders, crane operators, machinists) work priorities managed via the Work Control Center (daily morning meetings.

15. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 15 Charge question #2 2. Baseline Cost and Schedule: a)Are the current project cost and schedule projections consistent with the approved baseline cost and schedule? b)Is the contingency remaining adequate for the risks that remain? The project is 10 1/2 months ahead of our CD-4 milestone. Reasonable contingency remains to complete the project. This conclusion is based on forensic schedule analyses, updated EAC’s and contingency extrapolation. Budget plans consistent with DOE BA guidance and CR expectations. Weekly detail schedule progress and monthly EVMS updates conducted. Monthly re-evaluation of EAC’s and recent bottoms-up EAC performed. $400K net reduction in risks identified. Project schedule contingency is 10 1/2 months, cost contingency range is 30%-28% (ref 26.6% baselined at CD-2 ) The project is 72% complete compared to 54% at the last review. (this completion rate consistent with November 2014 forecast.) Scope contingency analysis updated. The project has integrated all relevant program tasks into it’s integrated project schedule. (ref Rollover Schedule)

16. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 16 Charge question #3 3. Management: a)Evaluate the management structure as to its adequacy to deliver the scope within budget and schedule. b)Are risks being actively managed? c)Has the project responded satisfactorily to the recommendations from the previous project reviews? The key management personnel required to deliver the baseline are still in place within the project organization. This includes DOE Federal Project Director and senior laboratory leadership. The Project, with institutional support, successfully managed the FY2013 aggressive procurement plans that ensured the timely receipt of parts and hardware, prioritization of field tasks, and the re-assignment of people to support schedule. The project has reacted effectively to resolve technical issues that have arisen. Communication amongst the project team, senior PPPL management and DOE has provided transparency into all aspects of the project. Independent reviews performed every 6 months by the Princeton University advisory panel. Collaborations with MAST and National Magnet Laboratory. Project risk identified. Mitigation plans being implemented (e.g. coordination meetings, procedures, training, mockups, R&D, trials). The EVMS and supplemental management tools are being effectively utilized to manage the project. Previous review recommendations reconciled - see next slide

17. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 17 Charge question #3 continued 3-c. Previous review recommendations: 1.Develop a comprehensive facility readiness plan and schedule including both project and non-project items. Present plan at the next review. Presentation by Al vonHalle. 2.Assign adequate personnel to ensure completion of the Digital Coil Protection System on the original baseline schedule. Personnel assigned (hardware, software, and supporting staff). Good progress being made. Noteworthy designs documented and presented at SOFE 2013. Attend presentations by Ron Hatcher and Keith Erickson in the afternoon breakout) 3.Reassess the potential impacts of the loss of critical skills and personnel and update the risk registry by February 1, 2013. Major funding driven crisis averted. However, the risk registry has been updated to reflect nominal impact of key personnel leaving. 4.Prepare a plan for startup readiness that is acceptable to the Site Office prior to the next review. See #1 above

18. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 18 Charge question #4 4. Transition to Operations: Is the Project appropriately aligned for completion of construction efforts and transitioning NSTX-U for CD-4 approval? Al vonHalle to provide overview. Project integrated schedule being used to track project and non-project scope leading to CD-4. Weekly project reviews conducted as part of the “Rollover Schedule” meeting. NSTX-U maintains an Activity Certification Committee (ACC) to review newly installed subsystems before commissioning. System reviews are performed at completion of construction activities. Operational Readiness Assessment (ORA) will be conducted. DOE-PSO taking lead. Approvals and training required for NSTX test cell access (per OP-NSTX-12). Work Permits ensure that Test Cell configuration control and proper work practices are maintained. Proper system operation is ensured by an approved set of operations procedures: Administrative procedure (OP-NSTX-02) is used to list the sub-system and integrated system procedures used to start-up and operate NSTX-U The electromagnetic ISTP (ISTP-001) defines protection system settings and necessary test shots for any changes to the NSTX electromagnetic configuration and/or operating envelope. Operator Training Matrixes (OP-NSTX-12)

19. NSTX-U NSTX Upgrade Project – Office of Science Review – October 2-3 rd 2013 19 Summary The project has maintained a safe working environment. The project continues to make good technical progress. The project is on schedule and cost with adequate contingency to finish. The project is sufficiently staffed to meet schedule. The project is on track for meeting CD-2 baseline within OFES budgetary guidance. The project is preparing for transitioning into operations.
