Monday, April 15, 2024, 10:50: The old IDP15 RP was not pumping the antechamber down properly. An exchange IDP15 pump is loaned to us from vacuum group. Once the tip seals on it are replaced, we will swap it again.

Applicable work permit: I2024-04-12--2. Status: Returned. 

 On November 10th / 11th a site wide power outage occured. Once power was restored, the Ar glove box had intermittent issues with the solenoids & blower. The blower did not start & the solenoids often got stuck or ceased operating. 

Yesterday Randy B inspected the connections to see if they were receiving enough power. It was good from the main plug-in, through to the PLC, however was dead at fuse positions 3 & 4 on the rear panel. Both fuses were changed, but that did not help. We did some fidgeting in the back & the solenoid function returned. It was left overnight.

Thursday, November 30, 2023, 08:30: <- Approx. Initial check: Dropped a crumpled Kimwipe inside the glove box to check for air flow / blower function. It did not move. Blower was not functioning, but the solenoids did. De-energized the glove box completely. 

Removed the old corroded fuse holders, added a pair of modified new ones. Cleaned a couple of corroded critical connections. Installed the new fuses, re-plugged it back in. Function returned to normal. The Kimwipe was also moving, verifying the blower is again operational. 

Thursday, November 30, 2023, 09:51: Complete. 

All the fumehood pumps in the ISAC-I hot and cold labs got tripped off when the MCC-X was powered down (See ISAC WP#2011-03-30-5). No reaction process is done inside the  fumehoods, so the pumps are ok to be left off for now until the MCC-X work is done.

 ISAC-1 B1 Hot Lab actinide mass balance calibration was carried out on March 27, 2024, at 11:10 a.m. with an accuracy of 0.00%.

ISAC-1 B1 Hot Lab actinide mass balance calibration was carried out on April 18, 2023, at 10:40 a.m. with an accuracy of 0.01%.

Ultrasonicator in Cold Lab:  The ultrasonicator cooling lines and their operation was checked.  The functionality of the probe and operation software was checked.  Visual inspection of probes and water receptacle showed good operational condition.
