UO2/C green was prepared on Aug 17, 2013. The slurry was cast on a piece of glass coated with WD40.
The cast was let dry until Aug 19, 2013.

A P2N target was carbothermal reduced but at the maximum current, the power supply tripped (elog. 267)
Therefore, the target was not hot long enough to fully outgas, that is why it will be reheated.

Yesterday, a second graphite cartridge was installed in EVAP1, it consists of the old, 3-body cartridge design, and was sanded on the outside to
be able to fit a P2N container.
