The DOE-SC Office of Project Assessment’s (OPA) review of FRIB was held 15-17 May. The main focus of the review was to assess overall FRIB Project progress since the last review in December 2017, with a focus on technical progress.

The review committee was organized into four subcommittees, and FRIB staff gave 50 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 6-8 November 2018.
