 “Dante is one of the workhorse diagnostics of NIF — it participates in
almost every shot.” - Alastair Moore – RI for Dante.
 Measures X-Ray temperatures.
 Resolved Dante Filter calibration process and validity.
 Developed thickness plots to calculate which vendor to use based
on success rate of calibration results and provided feedback to each
vendor.
 Worked with supplier to develop a new filter container with vendor to
better protect and preserve filters.
 Purchased dry boxes and sent to BNL to streamline handling of
filters
 Results – Cost Savings due to improvements - ordering
requirements decreased over time: FY12(648), FY13 (250),
FY14(90), FY15 (60)
