4. NSTX NSTX Team Meeting –Masa Ono August 15, 2014 We had a challenge related the aquapour issue which caused a CD-4 delay of ~ 3 weeks. CD-4 in late February still allows scheduling of the research campaign up to 18 run weeks (Base – 12 - 16 run weeks and Incremental – 2 run weeks). ~ 2 month period is allocated between CD-4 and the research plasma operation. The CD4 schedule is obviously getting very tight for planned research operation. Please make sure that you are ready for research operation by March 2015!
