 Dan made a set of new cooling lines for the Source Tray Heat Shield cooling yesterday. No joints on the lines. Use same VCR fitting 3/8 -> 1/4"

Two samples were prepared and loaded into the target boat with 1 layer of heat-shied as shown in the attachment#1.
Ingredients used: np-SiC and very small about of 5% PVA to hold the powder together.

Three samples were prepared  (see my logbook#1 page 3, preparing for carbonization).
One layer of Ta foil was used to wrap around the target boat.

The endcaps are stacked together with a punched out disc of graphite foil placed in between each
endcap for separation so endcaps won't fuse together.
