Please share this note with everyone who has worked on I do not want to miss anyone! I already called DOE TSG members to thank them. M-3 team members and team Today is June 30th. A day of reckoning. I reckon you all did extraordinarily Your achievement exceeds my expectation for where we would be on this date. And, I had very high expectations. Even so, I couldn't have imagined back in January when we had no agreement with DOE on simulant, testing criteria, vessel assessment formats etc. etc. etc., that all these hurdles would be behind us and that all of the Newtonian vessels would be fully approved by DOE. Even more impressive is that the non Newtonian curve ball has been so well managed. Our non Newtonian position is solid, backed by SRNL and accepted by CRESP. This could not have been moved so far so quickly by anyone but the M-3 team. The outstanding results you achieved as a team could only have happened because each and every one of you worked longer, harder, faster and smarter than any project director has the right to expect. And as previously stated, I expect a lot. You were outstanding in your effort and outstanding in the result. You came through at a time that any other result could have destroyed DOE and stakeholder confidence in the entire WTP project. My sincere appreciation to every one of you. Now on to the next get it designed and built and into operation. 2 URSO000O885
