 Friday, February 17, 2012, 15:07, Don Jackson, Trolley, Repair, Video Trolley Failed in Cyclotron Tank 
|
All control to the video trolley was lost during remote photographing of components in the cyclotron. The control system and cameras on the trolley were
still operational leading to the suspicion that a power cable was broken either on the trolley or the bridge festooning. Two trips into the tank were
made to evaluate the problem and attempt to push the trolley out of the tank. Pushing the trolley only managed to move the trolley a few feet before |

|
In tank survey completed. A few items of interest were found. Ladders need to moved manually outboard to #5 resonators and the items noted
in attached document need to be addressed. |

Lower resonator trolley radial motor overcurrent was causing control system to drop
out momentarily. All controlled devices acted as expected and reverted to their fail-safe mode. |

|
Noticed oil leaking out of reduction box, scan and swipe, disconnect e motor and all related cables from bridge, remove motor and reduction box assembly
with over head crane, disassemble reduction box, grease broken down and separated likely cause of leak. Inspect bearings and internals for wear -all good
re assemble with new grease and gaskets (we added two grease nipples to the bearing housing to aid lubrication), test e motor on its own- good. |

Friday, July 04, 2014, 07:21, Dan McDonald, Elevation Jack, Standard Operation, Cyclotron lid down July-2- 2014
|
Cyclotron lid down was successfully completed on July 2 2014. Lid went partially down before jack nine had to be jogged to catch up to system. After
thirty min of continual system trips Maico Dalla Valle and I Jogged all stations to 42745. Still encountering continual system trips Gord Roy and Dan Louie
removed and reset all relays in system, lid proceeded to lower with out problem. Final jack position recording done at 19:45. |

Lid down Started at 12:15, station and count numbers. Lid went down with out incident as station 1 and 7 show the counters will need replacing. We are
going to change counters before the end of this shutdown to ensure proper orientation in case of emergency lid up scenario.

Maintenance has been performed on the lift trolley, re sealed the main drive gear box it was quite dry inside and in need of new seals and lubrication.
Inspected the vertical gear box and resealed it, re tensioned the vertical drive chain after removing gear box and finding since last year the chain
had become somewhat slack causing it to rub on the frame. Purchased a new LED light bar to replace the aging and failing flourescent light that was in |

|
Annual jack maintenance : Jack 10b upon inspection it was found that the output shaft seal on 10b was in need of replacement. In past years RH personal
had to remove a LoveJoy coupling which required cutting of the coupler due to galling and possible interference tolerances being out. We sourced sample
split seals from Motion Canada that can be installed with out coupling removal we will install and monitor to determine the effectiveness and the possibility |

Tuesday, January 22, 2019, 07:18, Dan McDonald, Elevation Jack, Maintenance, Station 11-12 jack swap and hoist plate instal
|
Prior to commencing work on jacking stations we installed a wall mounted come along plate as per Jason kapalkas instructions Completed spare jack
swap on station 11 and 12, station 11 was swapped with spare set # 13 and station 12 now has # 14 jack set in its place. Once jack stations where swapped
we proceeded to clean, inspect and re grease 11-12 upper bearings. |

|
Lid up operations took place on January 21st starting at 10:25 lid went up without issue. Couple things to note are station 11 had a number of spikes
in the first ten inches of travel and number five had a couple in the first five inches of travel. We will monitor these stations and perform maintenance
as needed. Station three which has spares #13 saw above normal heat generation in the right side High field gear box, we will investigate next week. |

Lid down operations for 2019/2020 shutdown went ahead as planned on March 10th 2020 with Dan Louie and Arthur Leung absent due to a conference. Please
see attached file for station counter numbers. Station two right side Highfield gear box was making intermittent growling from outboard bearing, this station
is next on scheduled maintenance and will be inspected post removal next shutdown. Station 3 has spare jack set 13 in place, using Operations thermal camera |

Station 11-12 where swapped for station 13-14 during 2018-2019 shutdown. Once lock out and motor disconnect was complete we commenced removal of spares
and installation of original equipment. Station 13 was swapped in for station 3 and the upper bearing was serviced. In addition to regular maintenance
we built and installed a cover for the void in between station 10-11, this void in shielding measured approx 2'x4'. RH borrowed a demo Milwaukee 1' cordless |

|
One of the beam spill monitor boxes was removed and placed into a lead coffin. The fields around the coffin prior to the monitor being placed in
were 145 uSv/hr just above the box and 33.5 uSv/hr inside of it. A swipe was taken inside the box at this time and a count of zero was found. The tray
for the monitor box was then placed into the coffin and the monitor removed from the cyclotrons. The field above the coffin with the monitor box was 1.0 |
