# GENERAL INFORMATION

## Introduction 

This Statement of Work is for the manufacture of the "production"
winding forms for the Natonal Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX). A
total of (18) winding form is required, comprised of 6 each of three
winding form types. This effort is follow-on to two winding form
manufacturing studies which were completed by two independent teams in
mid-2004. The deliverable items from each included a full-scale
prototype Type C winding form and, based on the prototype and
manufacturing studies, a firm fixed price and schedule proposal which is
the basis for the award of this particular subcontract.. The production
winding form subcontractor(s) are to be chosen from those two
subcontractor teams. The winding form is defined in Specification
NCSX-CSPEC-121-XX. .

NCSX is the first of a new class of stellarators known as "compact
stellarators." Stellarators are a class of magnetic fusion confinement
devices characterized by three dimensional magnetic fields and plasma
shapes and are the best-developed class of magnetic fusion devices after
the tokamak. The stellarator concept has greatly advanced since its
invention by Dr. Lyman Spitzer, the founding director of the Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), during the 1950's. A traditional
stellarator uses only external magnetic fields to shape and confine the
plasma. The differentiating feature of a compact stellarator is the use
of plasma current in combination with external fields to accomplish
shaping and confinement. This combination permits a more compact
stellarator design.

The NCSX project is managed by PPPL in partnership with the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. This Subcontract will be administered by PPPL.
Operation of NCSX is scheduled to begin in July 2007. Further
description of the NCSX can be found at <http://www.pppl.gov/ncsx/>.

## Background

Figure 1 is a sectional view of the NCSX device showing its major
components. Note the modular coil set with an integral shell; the
stainless steel winding forms that comprise this shell are the subjects
of this SOW.

The modular coil windings are shown in Figure 2 without their associated
winding forms to permit the complex shape of the windings to be more
readily seen. There are three distinct shapes; six of eachemakes up the
complete modular coil set. To fabricate these windings to the precise
shapes required, stranded copper cable conductor is wound on the
machined stainless steel winding forms, as shown in Figure 3. In
addition to defining the shape of the coils, the winding forms also
provide the strong structural support necessary to react electromagnetic
loads as high as 7000 lbs. / in. Figure 4 shows the final assembly of
the NCSX modular coil set.

*Note: Figures in this section are only for illustration and should not
be used in the performance of this Scope of Work.*

complex shapes can be easily seen. In order to manufacture these
windings to their precise shapes, stranded copper conductor is wound on
the machined winding forms (shown in Figure 3), which are the subject of
this Statement of Work. Six of each of the three winding form shapes are
required. (Dimensions in meters)*

Figure 3 - Modular coil details

*Shown is one of the three winding form shapes. The right view shows a
sectional view of the form with the stranded cables conductors wound in
place on both sides of the "T" section. The winding form serves two very
important functions: it defines the precise shape of the winding and
provides the required structural support.*

-   The Contractor will submit a resource-loaded (fully loaded dollars
    only) schedule that clearly indicates the tasks to be accomplished,
    the time frame over which each task will be accomplished, and the
    resources assigned to that task. This schedule will be submitted
    within three (3) weeks of contract award.

-   The Contractor will monthly (e-mail report satisfactory) report
    costs (accrued and actual) against each task on the resource-loaded
    schedule. The first report shall be submitted at the end of the
    first calendar month of the contract award (i.e., if contract
    awarded in January 2003, the first report will be provided at the
    end of January 2003).

-   The Contractor shall monthly report percent complete on each task
    (e-mail report satisfactory). PPPL will then use this percent
    complete to determine the earned value based on the total resources
    applied to each task.

-   On an exception basis, PPPL will request explanation and proposed
    corrective action plan on those tasks that develop significant
    unfavorable schedule or cost variances.
