Friday, November 29, 2024, 15:23, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Maintenance, 1000 kg crane: y axis position display not functioning
|
After a recent power cycle, the y-axis referencing was lost for the 1000 kg crane. The position readout was also incorrect, somewhere on the order of
> 30,000 mm. On 2024-11-29, A. Newsome re-referenced the y-axis. The position readout correctly reset to zero, and both +y and -y motion is functioning
correctly, but the y-axis position readout on the HMI constantly displays 0 and does not change. To be investigated. |
Thursday, November 28, 2024, 09:04, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Repair, Hot Cell turntables not rotating, access hatch not moving
|
It was reported that the hot cell turntables would not rotate and the access hatch could not be operated. The turntables' elevation motion was working
normally, and other cell functions were working.
Upon investigation, after going online with the PLC and checking the interlocks for the turntable, it was determined that motion was being prevented |

Testing completed:
Removal and re-insertion of 2x multi-pin coupling cable for HTV (see pictures, left most and right most, middle had no wire at the time).

Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 15:38, Albert Kong, Hot Cell 1, Standard Operation, APTW Front End Moved into Hot Cell 23x
|
The APTW front end was moved into the hot cell, on the lift table, following procedures outlined in Document-244862.
The mock-up frame was transferred from the east turntable to the west turntable above the front end. The east turntable is covered with the aluminum
plate. During covering we accidentally broke the o-ring for the turntable plate flange. The new o-ring seal should be made ~1" longer in circumference |
Thursday, October 17, 2024, 11:34, Albert Kong, Hot Cell 1, Development, Tarping completed on hot cell roof
|
Two tarps were installed above the hot cell roof to protect against concrete dust while testing in the hot cell.
Zip ties were used to hook the tarp onto tubing brackets on the back wall. |
Thursday, October 10, 2024, 12:22, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Standard Operation, Safety Walkaround Complete - Hot Cell area
|
A safety walkaround was completed for the ARIEL Hot Cell area.
The resulting spreadsheet can be found on DocuShare as Document-242733.
No major deficiencies identified. |
Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 13:03, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Development, Spacer flange installation
|
The spacer flanges were installed on both turntables today.
See photos and information in the following DocuShare Collection: Collection-39816
Important note: the fitment was quite tight due to interference with universal joints and grease nipples. The flanges were still able to be installed |
Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 12:52, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, Drive not ready faults observed on power-up
|
Upon powering on the crane today and attempting to use the main hoist, the following faults were present:
1. Main Hoist East Drum North Motor Drive Fault (700VFD)
2. Main Hoist West Drum South Motor Drive Fault (900VFD) |
Wednesday, July 17, 2024, 15:07, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Standard Operation, Safety Walkaround Complete - B2 Level

Wednesday, April 24, 2024, 09:17, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Repair, Target Hall Crane: VFD DC bus undervoltage fault [root cause: encoder board failure on 900VFD]
|
On 2024-04-22 around 3:30 pm it was discovered that the crane's main hoist was in a faulted state. The operator (Adam Newsome) experienced the fault
after performing a safety reset and attempting to lower the hoist. There were no visible signs of any issues, mechanically. This fault had not been previously
reported by any other crane operators. The crane was previously unused, sitting idle. Note: the auxiliary hoists appeared to function normally. |
Wednesday, February 14, 2024, 09:02, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Maintenance, Target Hall Crane: Trolley Encoder Homing
|
The main trolley's E/W motion was observed to be slowed on 2024-02-13.
Upon investigation, the following faults were present:
- 200. Rotating Hook Velocity Difference between SSI Encoder and Drive Speed Feedback |
Wednesday, August 02, 2023, 09:13, chad fisher, Hot Cell 1, Repair, Leak Rate Testing
|
On August 1, 2023 HC1 was pumped down to -1200 Pa (gauge) and then valved off to test the leak rate after turntables had been sealed with backer rod
in the gaps.
The sealing with backer rod allowed the cell to reach the test pressure of 1000 Pa. The cell pressure equalized within 30-40 seconds which is an |
Wednesday, April 26, 2023, 16:06, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Maintenance, Target Hall Crane - Hoist Wire Wrapping
|
It was observed recently that the main hoist's wires seemed skewed, and there was occasionally some noise heard when raising and lowering the hook block.
It was suspected that this was due to wires having jumped in their tracks at some point. This is typically caused by side loading. It is possible that
wire wrap skew occurred during the incident outlined in e-log 46. |
Tuesday, April 25, 2023, 12:28, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, ARIEL Target Hall Crane - Drives Fault
|
Today while operating the crane with load, the crane stopped moving. Upon investigating, all safety signals appeared to be OK. Fault messages regarding
drive faults for various VFDs were present, which seemed to stem from an ethernet adapter card fault (see attached photo). It is unknown how this occurred,
but suspected that it was due to a brief blip in network communications or the external drive power supply control signal. It is worth noting that the |
Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 10:47, Adam Newsome, Hot Cell 1, Repair, Circuit breaker replacement - telemanipulators
|
There was an issue with a 20 A circuit breaker used to control motor assist functions for the telemanipulators (specifically, the rightmost CB in the
panel for the right (East) manipulator set). This circuit breaker was moved to the panel for the left (West) manipulator set in the rightmost position,
and then subsequently replaced with a new one, which is functioning correctly. It is suspected that the former CB which was not working was calibrated |
Thursday, March 16, 2023, 14:41, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Development, ARIEL Target Hall Crane - Spare Pendant Procured, Tested
|
A spare pendant for the overhead crane was procured from COH. The pendant's functionality is the same as the original one's. The pendant was tested today
by Adam Newsome - all functions behave as expected.
Important - to change to the spare pendant in the case of failure of the original one, insert a battery into it, and transfer |
Friday, January 20, 2023, 14:48, Adam Newsome, T-Hall Crane, Standard Operation, Pendant/Receiver Communication Issue (Repeated)
|
An issue was observed in which the pendant did not work to control the crane. This is the second time in recent memory this has happened. See e-log
55 for details. The same sequence of steps outlined in e-log 55 was followed, and the pendant control was re-established. It is still unclear what
the root cause of this issue is, but it is suspected that the crane pendant loses communication with the receiver for some reason, and even though communication |
