This report summarizes the findings of the review meetings on a 150- kW electron-beam furnace on order with Leybold-Heraeus Technologies. The specific objectives of these meetings were (1) to review the project status, (2) to finalize the design of the system, (3) to review the mechanical and electrical drawings, (4) to discuss the installation requirements, (5) to develop plans for the furnace acceptance test, and (6) to discuss the details of shipping and the installation at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. All of these objectives were met during the 2-1/2-day meetings. As a result of these meetings, LH agreed to include changes that will enhance the furnace utility and installation. These included: (1) the addition of an auxiliary control box for the horizontal feeder, (2) the modification of the water flow channel to minimize the dead space in the copper hearth, (3) a change in the roughing line to better fit the furnace in the allotted space, (4) the design of the platform surrounding the furnace, and (5) a modification of the platform design to better fit the power supplied in the space underneath. A better understanding of the programmable logic controller was obtained. The shipping and installation requirements were clarified. 6 figs.
