Mark is looking at this. - Leak test with the pigtail load was slow. Need to build that into our production plans. - Feedthrough -1 - Pigtail restraint system is in the machine shop (prototype for feedthrough -1). - Pin carriers were welded into warm & cold flanges. - Pumping ports need to be installed on WF and leak checked. - We have no bellows.
