The DOE-SC Office of Project Assessment’s (OPA) review of FRIB was held 27-29 June. The main focus of the review was to assess overall FRIB Project progress since the last review in December 2016, with a focus on our technical progress.

The review committee was organized into five subcommittees and FRIB staff gave 53 presentations.

The OPA assessed all aspects of the FRIB Project – technical, cost, schedule, management, and environmental safety and health – and found that FRIB is making appropriate progress toward completion and is well-managed. The review committee answered all charge questions affirmatively.

DOE has tentatively scheduled the next FRIB Project progress review for 5-7 December 2017.
