Tyler

• DIIID ohmic kept me busy
• Could start looking into coding (http://fuse.help/, ask Tim, Andriana, Amani)

Brendan

• Made progress with TEQUILA
• Able to converge fits to arbitrary accuracy --> new same result as CHEASE
• Question about how to handle very close to the X-point
• Worked on integrating TEQUILA as a new solver in FUSE

Tim

• Coupling to TokSys w/ Anthony --> controllability metrics coming from
• Balance of plant updates to fix time handling and minor things

Jerome

• Talked about requirements with Brian/Dave
• Materials models to FUSE --> Lifetime, tritium retention, ...

• Question: How to load a JSON from FUSE into STEP?
  • ods=ODS().load("bla.json", consistency_check=False)

Joey

• Need to put some more work on alpha density

Kevin

• Made an new branch with Python-based deterministic model
• Fork of NeutronTransport.jl. It runs but it's missing some features.
• Need to adapt it, using the Python as a template.

Orso

• Optimization with constraints now works
  • Demonstrated running at scale (200 nodes, 20k+ full FUSE sims) to identify relationship between Betan and cost
  • Need to start using it for production runs
• Started function to distill dd information, will eventually become part of system to summaries dd
