U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGYOffice of SciencePrinceton Site Office How’s the performance

so far?SPI = 1.06 & CPI = 1.0054% complete

Contingency = 30% of ‘to go’ costs

Budget at completion = $82.7Estimate at completion = $83.9

Level 2 milestones:Past = completed on or ahead of scheduleAhead = early completion anticipated

All scope remains as planned. TPC remains ‘on-target’. CD-4 date remains ‘on-target’ with promise of early finish. Concern: FY13+ Presidential Budget

How’s the baseline?

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGYOffice of SciencePrinceton Site Office Risks and Concerns

NSTX-U future funding profile:

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 FY13 Budget comes in at President’s mark …AND… future year budgets remain at this reduced level for FY14, a re-baselining will be required for this project.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGYOffice of SciencePrinceton Site Office Thoughts

The Budget cycle is still unclear for FY13 and beyond.

Too early to react (i.e., re-baseline) . . but precautionary institutional planning must be done.

The NSTX-U Project’s performance is still the #1 priority as stated by PPPL Directorship and agreed upon by FES.

The Project has built a nice buffer in schedule contingency to date . . . this will come in handy if budget is reduced.

Yes . . . there will be added cost risk to the project.

Construction Progress?

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGYOffice of SciencePrinceton Site Office

8

Overall Progress is good. . .All construction efforts are well underway

Vendor performance is good overall

Critical Path. . .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. . .EVMS system in place and fully functioning (Annual Internal Surveillance complete)

Construction proceeding well on the accelerated schedule.

All previous Review Recommendations addressed.

Project is getting the resources it needs.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGYOffice of SciencePrinceton Site Office

Post CD-3 efforts are proceeding well… Good performance to date.

Good communication between PPPL and Site Office.

Estimates are updated and remain well within plan.

Funding and human resources are in place.

Elements of DOE Order 413.3B are met.

9

Conclusion

PSO, PPPL and FES must work together as the FY13 budget evolves and assess the impact to NSTX-U and PPPL.

Charge Questions1.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
