Target Material: UO2/C 
Target Oven W.O#:  
Source: TARGET BOAT 
Status: Done 
Subject: UCx#34 conditioning 

Target #34 was installed in the EVAP1 and pumped down (Tuesday June 29, 2021).

Target #34 is going to be conditioned on a Ta boat wrapped with 3 Ta foils.

IGP1 = 1.85e-6 Torr

Good vacuum = 1e-1 Torr

Bad vacuum = 5e-1 Torr

Power desired 1.6kW. This is the second target conditioned this way. 

Subsequent targets should be conditioned following thermal reduction.

IGP1= 1.35e-06 Torr

Start autoramp @2A/30s to 400A


Thursday, July 01, 2021, 07:59

Pressure increase was observed near 400A 

will ramp to 450A and  keep for 8 hours

IGP1= 1.4 e-05 Torr


450A and 4.0V reached at 8:14 am on Thursday July 01, 2021

Rampdown @-2A/min was started at 4.14 pm on Thursday July 01, 2021 IGP1 stable at 2.7e-06Torr

Cannot transfer into glovebox yet because moisture is a bit high after regeneration.  Moisture is dropping. Will wait until moisture is sufficiently low.

Cartridge was removed and placed in bag inside glovebox

Removed 10 discs for analysis but might place them back inside depending on final decision.  We had previously removed 10 discs after thermal reduction.
