Field readings have been taken at the south hot cell in preparation for entry into the cell to fix manipulator.

Field on contact at aluminum cover is 66 uSv/h, and a pole monitor into the cell through the tool port read 297 uSv/h.

The TCS is venting now. The TM3 blue insulator replacement job will be started soon.

South hot cell was entered to check to replace cable if needed. Wrist cable showed no signs of fraying or broken strands.

A tong with new cable pre-installed is now in the hot cell for next time this job needs to be done. There is also another spare tong cable not installed in a tong located in the box of manipulator repair equipment located inside the hot cell.

Both manipulator slave ends were lubricated whilst inside.

Plastic has been removed from the floor and any known active items in the hot cell moved to the south east corner in an attempt to shield the anteroom. Fields at the aluminum panel were reduced from 66 uSv/h to 58.8uSv\h. No contamination found on walls, floor, tacky mats, or standard aluminum cover. The aluminum cover with breathable air line hole did have 400 counts on 44-2, 1200 on ludlum.

Ta#49 has been installed on TM2 and tested. All high current fasteners torqued to 130 in lbs.

Remaining items from anteroom have been bagged and removed (save the boot boxes, 1 garbage can and 1 coverall garbage can).

Room is ready to be surveyed so it can be deemed a non-boot box area for painting.

TM2 was disconnected in ITW yesterday and moved to SHC.

Chad and I leak checked Tm2 Hs line with new target installed. Base LR 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec.   No leak has been found. This line will be helium pressured at TCS later.

Start of roughing now.

I did a helium pressure test on TM2 HS water line at TCS. Leak detector base leak rate only could get to 1.8x e-8 atm.cc/sec at this moment. Applied 5 minutes 70psi helium on it. No leak has been found at this level. I connected water to this circuit after the test for weekend TM2 conditioning at TCS.

I will do another helium pressure test after the conditioning. The LD base leak rate should be 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec at that time.

2016-08-29: LD Base leak rate 0.0xe-9atm.cc/sec.TM2 HS line helium pressure check again after conditioning. 70psi helium 5minutes. no response on LD. HS line is perfectly sealed.

The HV cover is installed. The Faraday cage at B2 level is locked also.The TCS and TM2 are still pumping down. Everything is good so far.

Weekly update schedule.  See attachment 1,2.

I stopped TCS water pumps and vacuum pumps also.   TM2 and TCS will be vented tomorrow morning.

  ITW turbo pumps  have been started.

5shielding blocks have been transferred from ITE to ITE. ITW is configured to take proton beam.

 Measurements were taken today of the NHC north/south wall gap at the location where the NHC/TCS partition wall will be installed (43.375" from the NHC west wall).  A HILTI PD40 laser range meter was used for the measurements.  They were taken at 10", 34", 62", 90", 118", and 142" from the floor which matches the top of each cross-beam.  The results are below:

10" from floor:  102.44"
34" from floor:  102.40"
62" from floor:  102.48"
90"  from floor:  102.63"
118" from floor:  102.28"
142" from floor:  102.24"

Based on these results a partition wall plate width of 102.00" will be used for the bottom two plates, and 102.25" for the upper three plates in order to keep the gap on each side approximately 1/8"

All TM3 blue insulators except Gas,EL, and 60 KV common  on top of the module have been replaced with new designed insulators. The new blue insulator for gas line need to be modified to fit for the bent on the gas  line.   EL, and 60KV common blue insulators were replaced during last time TM3 refurbishment so they are relative new, and  not replaced this time. All seals related to the blue insulators are changed to new seals. The o- r-ing surfaces  for o-ring 221 inside the  new insulators  are rougher than old parts. The module top need to be leak checked.

start of roughing now.

 start of TCS and TM3 turbo-pumps. Everything is good so far.

After blue insulators replacement, TM3 service cap are leak checked. LD base leak rate 0.0xe-9 atm.cc/sec. I sprayed lots helium on all blue insulator seals. No leak has been found. Double checked them again, and got same result. All other seals on top of TM3 also have been checked. They are leak free. OVEN, TUBE, MSP, COIL, and EE water lines are pressurized with 70 psi helium for 3minutes each. They are good also.
