U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office Increase toroidal field: 0. 5 T > 1. 0 T Increase pulse length: 1. 0 s > 5 s New Center Stack Inner TF bundle, TF joint, OH & inner PF coils Upgraded TF coil support structure What’s the proposed workscope? Increase plasma current: 1 MA > 2 MA Increase NB heating: 5 -7 MW > 10 -14 MW Reinforce umbrella structure Exst’g outer PF coils – 6 total New PF coil support structure Existing outer TF coils w/ reinstated water cooling Also…modify coil power system, protection system & ancillary support systems 2

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office Workscope…continued Add 2 nd Beamline Decon, recondition and install New NB armor Install 3 HVEs Relocate from TC basement Modify Vacuum Vessel Also…modify existing power system and ancillary support systems New NB port New Vacuum Pump Duct (below) 3

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY How’s spending? Office of Science Princeton Site Office Contingency: $11. 3 M (or 30% of ‘to go’) Today $38. 9 M to go $44. 1 M spent 1/2 Feb 09 CD-0 Apr 10 CD-1 Dec 10 CD-2 Dec 11 CD-3 Sep 15 CD-4 1/4 3/4 TPC=$94. 3 M E F std 14 months of schedule contingency (or 52% of ‘to go’) FY 09 $5. 2 FY 10 $9. 0 adv CD-3 Overdrive FY 11 $9. 9 FY 12 $20. 5 FY 13 $22. 8 Budget odometer FY 14 $23. 7 FY 15 $3. 2 4

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office SPI = 1. 06 & CPI = 1. 00 How’s the performance so far? 54% complete Contingency = 30% of ‘to go’ costs Budget at completion = $82. 7 Estimate at completion = $83. 9 Level 2 milestones: § Past = completed on or ahead of schedule § Ahead = early completion anticipated How’s the baseline? § § All scope remains as planned. TPC remains ‘on-target’. CD-4 date remains ‘on-target’ with promise of early finish. Concern: FY 13+ Presidential Budget 5

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office NSTX-U future funding profile: Risks and Concerns FY 13 President’s budget provides reduced funding to PPPL. . . § Institutional impacts are high § NSTX-U would be adversely impacted : - Reduction in Lab-wide human resource support. . . Added risk. - Slow down of schedule (due to a constrained budget profile) will add cost. Actions: § PPPL continues to work closely with PSO and FES to understand impacts of the budget cuts. § The Project developed actionable plans based on differing funding scenarios to determine the impacts on the project. § Early delivery date of the project will be significantly reduced, but project can still meet CD-4 baseline date. § Worst case: If FY 13 Budget comes in at President’s mark …AND… future year budgets remain at this reduced level for FY 14, a re-baselining will be required for this project. 6

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office Thoughts Ø The Budget cycle is still unclear for FY 13 and beyond. Ø Too early to react (i. e. , re-baseline). . but precautionary institutional planning must be done. Ø The NSTX-U Project’s performance is still the #1 priority as stated by PPPL Directorship and agreed upon by FES. Ø The Project has built a nice buffer in schedule contingency to date. . . this will come in handy if budget is reduced. Ø Yes. . . there will be added cost risk to the project. 7

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office Construction Progress? Overall Progress is good. . . ü ü All construction efforts are well underway Vendor performance is good overall Critical Path. . . ü ü ü Remains through the construction of new Center Stack assembly Center Stack Fabrication facility is on line Entering the “riskiest” stage of construction: potting of quadrants & full center bundle, and OH coil winding Management. . . ü EVMS system in place and fully functioning (Annual Internal Surveillance complete) ü ü ü Construction proceeding well on the accelerated schedule. All previous Review Recommendations addressed. Project is getting the resources it needs. 8

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Conclusion Princeton Site Office Post CD-3 efforts are proceeding well… § § Good performance to date. § Estimates are updated and remain well within plan. § Funding and human resources are in place. § Elements of DOE Order 413. 3 B are met. Good communication between PPPL and Site Office. PSO, PPPL and FES must work together as the FY 13 budget evolves and assess the impact to NSTX-U and PPPL. 9

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Office of Science Princeton Site Office Charge Questions 1. Construction Efforts: Are construction efforts being executed safely? Yes Does the project have adequate resources and the appropriate skills mix to execute the project per the plan? Yes 2. Baseline Cost and Schedule: Are the current project cost and schedule projections consistent with the approved baseline cost and schedule? Yes Is the contingency remaining adequate for the risks that remain? Yes 3. Management: Evaluate the management structure as to its adequacy to deliver the scope within budget and schedule. Are risks being actively managed? Yes 4. Response to Prior Reviews: Has the Integrated Project Team implemented all required actions in the Corrective Action Plan that was developed following the Project Status review from May 2012? Yes 11
