Surface Preparation of the Copper Conductors

The Trustees of Princeton University, a U.S. Department of Energy Prime Contractor, represented by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), located in the vicinity of Princeton, NJ, has a requirement for the surface preparation of the copper conductor that will be used in the manufacturing of the new Ohmic Heating (OH) solenoid for the new TF-OH bundle for the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) Recovery Project.PPPL is soliciting proposals from qualified OH conductor grit blast and priming machine shops specializing in surface preparation, application and oven curing of CTD-450 primer on copper conductor materials. Specific requirements for these services can be found in the Statement of Work, “Statement of Work for NSTX-U_1-1-3-3-2_SOW_104 for OH Conductor Grit Blast and Priming Manufacturing”, Revision 2; dated November 22,
