Project-Focused Workshop

1 May 2024, 08:00 → 3 May 2024, 12:15 America/Los_Angeles

This project-focused workshop will prepare us for an NSF CDR. On the first day, we will discuss interfaces between DOE and NSF scope and interfaces between NSF subsystems. On the second day, we will discuss select engineering topics that apply to several subsystems and review site-specific topics. The third day will be focused on the Analysis of Alternatives.

The workshop will be held remotely. However, we will organize conference rooms for local teams to get together in person.

Notes, video recordings, and transcripts can be found in this google folder.  

(Naming conventions are that Sessions are the blocks of time between day start, breaks and day end, sequential through all days of the workshop.  So Session 1 is Strait/Zivick, etc.  apologies for not capturing session 6 transcript)
