NSTX has completed 40 days involving machine operations
• 22 Experimental Proposals and 3 machine proposals run– 31 days of effective run usage
• Shots with no coil currents filtered out
– 4 days for enabling activities
• Good progress in all ET areas– ET Leaders to provide input on:
• Tasks accomplished with respect to milestone and ITPA• Work remaining from on-going experiments• New experiments for consideration

Two weeks run time available for balance of FY06
• Focus on completing important missing results from present experiments related to Milestones– Try to do as good a job we can with the Milestones
• Unfinished work from base plan ITPA related experiments
• New experiments that would be particularly timely for execution during FY06
