NSTX-U Access Requirements

Steps to Gain Access to the NSTX-U Test Cell

The training requirements for unescorted access into the NSTX-U test cell are listed on page 5 of OP-NSTX-012 (contact PPPL Operations Center for Controlled Copy):

The minimum training required for an un-escorted NSTX-U accessor includes:

• General Employee Training

• Radiation Safety

• Lockout/Tagout

• Electrical Safety

• NSTX Procedures (the link contains the following procedures):

  • OP-AD-39, Conduct of Operations

  • OP-AD-56, Chain of Command

  • OP-AD-09, Work Permits

  • ENG-036, Control of Temporary Modifications

  • OP-AD-24, Control of Workplace Cleanliness

  • OP-AD-117, NSTX-U Access

• On-Site Work Guidance 

• Safety Resources 

Completion of access training does not automatically grant access authorization. Once the required training is accomplished, the NSTX-U Operations Manager must authorize the card readers to allow entry to the Accessor.  NSTX-U management retains the right to authorize or deny access at any time.
