Production

- Bill inform us that Ron Bartek has finished the design and the specifications for the infrastructure of the off-site space were given to the procurement. The information is that a DOE approval might be required. Eugene will contact Teresa Danforth to speed up the process.

- Bill will take care about creating the production flowchart based on the above document.

- We discussed a plan to build a one-layer prototype based on the new designs of the frames, PCBs, and cathodes, and also using the UVA equipment for wire stringing. We will use the first article PCBs and cathodes to make the prototype. Brian will help with the transportation of the wire equipment from UVA; Lubomir will contact Nilanga in this respect, as well. The idea is to set up first the wire stringing at room 117.
