On November 15-16,1995, the Project held its formal Preliminary Design Review (PDR). The review was the culmination of the system element preliminary design reviews conducted throughout the summer and early fall. The Project level PDR brought together all of the elements of the Project for review by the Scientific Advisory Board. The committee was chaired by Booth Myers, LLNL, and included representatives from Bechtel, IT Corp., and SAIC. In addition, DOE/OAK and DOE/HQ were represented. The FY96 Plan was completed and issued (UCRL-ID-119105-95, L-20681-1). This plan focuses on completing the majority of Final Design activities by the end of FY96, with some elements carried into FY97, and on initiating a number of the long-lead procurement items. The planned expenditures for FY96 are $10.7M including expected liens and carryover into FY97. Of this budget, $9.4M is new BA and $1.4M is carryover from FY95 (including liens and approved work scope). The Molten Salt Oxidation (MSO) engineering development unit tests continued to resolve engineering issues for final design. The top injector system, developed on contract by ETEC, was delivered and will be installed after the current test series are completed on the side injector concepts. The telerobotic feed preparation (TRS) engineering development also continues to make significant progress. The demonstration system was set up to mock the system configuration options in the MWMF. The system has been brought on line and the robotic system is operational. A number of tours were conducted at both of these systems as part of the PDR, and subsequently as part of the DOE/HQ visit associated with the DOE/OAK end-of-year review
