Subject: Leaking pipe in HC area 

 Monday, January 13, 2020, 10:30: Leak noted in HC area by Chad to ISAC Ops.

 

Monday, January 13, 2020, 13:32: The water leak was found to be coming from the sinks in the ISAC B1 Cold Lab. Target cleaning was occurring at the time as well. Soap / detergent smell was noted in the water that had dripped down to the area in front of the South Hot Cell in ISAC B2.

Fault: 12983

Rob Shanks entered a fault report. 

Running the main cold lab tap or the fume hood tap did not yield a leak, however, dumping a large quantity of water into the 2 main sinks in the ISAC B1 cold lab causes the leak to become apparent. It's likely the large volume of water causes a brief back flow in the pipe in ISAC B2 which then leaks until the flow recovers.

The pipe joint with the leak has been circled in the attached photo. 

Anders & I both witnessed the leak to confirm the source.
