			For information 
			on the programmatic and physics motivation for the NSTX Upgrades, please read: 
			
			
			The NSTX 
			Upgrades were strongly supported by the NSTX 5-year plan review 
			panel in 
			August 2008 - see for example the comments highlighted in 
			red 
			in the review panel
			
			debrief 
			presentation. 
			
			The mission 
			need for the NSTX Upgrades was described in a 
			
			presentation to DOE/OFES 
			in December 2008, and The mission need 
			document (CD-0) was approved by OFES in February 2009. 
			
			An overview of 
			the physics design of 
			the NSTX Upgrade as of November 2009 is provided
			
			here, and a CD-1 Lehman review science requirements presentation 
			is provided
			
			here.  
			
			The most recent 
			overview presentations on the "Physics Basis for the NSTX Upgrade" 
			from the 2010 EPS meeting are available in
			
			poster and 4-page
			
			paper format.  |
