Subject: TM3 Rev 3 source tray - water blocks connected and torqued 

After a great struggle with the water block jigs, the TM3 source tray was finally advanced fully into the service tray and all water blocks were connected and torqued to spec in the hot cell by Chad Fisher.

Notes and description of problems encountered during the installation:

- The water lines for the optics tray interfered with the module-side water block jig, and had to be bent out of the way to clear while advancing the tray (see attached photos)

- The water block jig on the source tray side was too low relative to the module side, and had to be eventually unbolted completely from it's mounting bracket in order to raise it up into alignment

- A piece of aluminum plate was placed under the jig, and the pneumatic table was raised in order to move the jig upwards

- After many repeated attempts to engage the blocks by pressing the jigs together, it was discovered that some of the blocks had rotational misalignment with their respective counterparts on the module side, preventing the pins from engaging properly

- By looking through the bolt holes on several of the blocks, it was possible to determine which direction they had to be rotated

- Chads polishing tool was used to apply some torque to rotate the source-tray-side water blocks slightly so proper alignment of the pins could be achieved

- See the attached photo which indicates which blocks had to be rotated (blocks 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11)

- The blocks had the bolts installed and were also torqued in the numbered order shown in the attached photo

Next steps are to remove the water block jigs, re-connect the loosened brackets for the remaining water lines (entrance window, optics tray), re-install the containment box and associated VCR connectors, video inspect, and leak check.
