Making Our Fusion Reactor Better, day 57 of 320: power has been removed from all of the Control Room desks in preparation for the new ceiling, carpet, and access ramps. One desk remains available in the corner, and that will be removed later this week.
Making Our Fusion Reactor Better, day 54 of 320: cutting out the entry port of the particle beam so that we can install a bigger one. This should make maintenance easier. These photos show the outside and the inside view, with the outline to cut (see starter hole).
Making Our Fusion Reactor Better, day 53 of 320: the new drift duct for the particle beam has completed Quality Assurance. Let’s put some power through it! ?? ?? (the red plastic cover, though it looks cool, is not part of the permanent installation)
Making Our Fusion Reactor Better, day 52 of 320: the rejuvenating power of yesterday’s pizza carries us through today. The Control Room disassembly continues, with only a few desks remaining available for use. Full construction begins in July.
