SPI Readiness Reviews

SPI Readiness Review Program

• Goal: enhance the probability of successful completion of SPI projects.
• The major tool is phased readiness assessments:
  • Focus is on early identification and resolution of technical issues
    • issues involving cryogenic temperatures + high voltage are a major concern
  • Performed by a small group independent of the SPI/SPE team being reviewed.
  • Emphasis is on an objective technical review: in-depth but not an audit nor confrontational.
  • Report goes directly back to SPI team with a copy to DOE only.

Leaders: Mike Gouge, ORNL and Steve Ashworth, LANL.
