When will we have stable 6 GeV?

According to Jay’s LEM predictions we should reach 6.0 GeV at 10 FSD/hr with Renascence plus two refurbished modules installed and all systems up and running. To provide “stable” 6 GeV, i.e. with some headroom, we should refurbish at least two more modules and consider at least one per year thereafter to keep up with attrition. The trip rate at 12 GeV will be no better than the base 6 GeV machine unless we assume some contingency in the 12 GeV, so the more modules we can rework the better for the long term physics program.
