Alcator C-MOD Weekly Highlights 
				November 24, 1993

The scheduled shutdown of Alcator C-MOD between Phase I and Phase II operating
campaigns is continuing. Major upgrades planned for this period include
installation of the flywheel to increase the stored energy available from the
alternator, and replacement of the moveable monopole ICRF antenna with two
dipole antennas.  Additional scheduled activities include inspection of
internal and external hardware, some diagnostic upgrades, and general
maintenance.

Further disassembly of the cryo-system, especially the bus tunnel, has been
accomplished. Inspection of the busswork is proceeding; no problems have been
noted so far. Some improvements to the LN2 delivery system and gaseous N2
purge system have begun. 

Several divertor and floor modules have been removed from the machine and are
being studied to assess damage. 

Alignment of the flywheel to the alternator shaft is continuing. 

A disruption database has been established and is being populated with data
from the 1993 C-MOD campaign. At this time, about 350 entries have been loaded
by an automatic procedure. 

The high voltage supply for the third ICRF transmitter system has been shipped
to Uptegraf for refurbishing. While we expect that PPPL will supply FMIT
transmitters as part of the PPPL/MIT collaboration, we will need to use our
HVDC supply because the PPPL units will not operate from our 13.8kVAC prime
power.
