A meeting was held on May 4, 2016 to determine the scope of the North Hot Cell project.  The following was agreed upon by those in attendance:

The NHC will be a designated target change hot cell.  It will be capable of performing all routine target operations (target removal/installation, leak check, electrical check, video inspection, post irradiation examination, target waste packaging and removal) using the same method currently used in the south hot cell.  Provisions will be included for the ability to perform target waste separation in the future unless a significant obstacle is encountered in which case the meeting attendees will be consulted.  Target waste separation involves separating the internal target heater from the target heat shield, then combining multiple target heaters in a single F-308 shipment.  Neither an inert gas atmosphere nor a double-door waste transfer system will be part of the NHC scope.

The following people were in attendance:  Bob Laxdal, Anders Mjos, Don Jackson, Joe Mildenberger, Friedhelm Ames, Alex Gottberg, Grant Minor, Yasmine Saboui, Peter Kunz

The following people were invited, but were unable to attend:  Chad Fisher, Pierre Bricault

The project will begin immediately, with Isaac Earle as the project leader.  The first steps will be to submit a Project Initiation Sheet, then to write and release the Requirements Specification document.
