• TM2 installed in Conditioning Station
• Varian Leak detector connected directly to Target Module 2 Service cap.
• Vacuum draw in Target Station with both module turbo pumps
• Leak detector baseline normal (10^-4 Torr, 10^-9 Std cc/s He)
• Since no Source tray is installed, and tube heater supply conductor is blanked off in target enclosure, it was necessary to test both supply and return points.
• For each line tested, 80 psi He was connected, and waited ~2 min to for a response on the leak detector.
• Lines tested:
  • conductor D (tube heater), Supply -> no He response
  • conductor D (tube heater), Return -> no He response
  • conductor C (tube heater), Supply -> no He response
  • conductor C (tube heater), Return -> no He response
• Based on this leak testing, both supply and return lines of conductors C & D are leak tight under 95 psi He (80 psig He supply to vacuum)

TM#2 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

Target Ionizer tube cooling lines "C" and "D" in Target Module 2 were both leak checked at the Hot Cell.  The lines were both blanked-off.

Bill Paley was present with David Wang in the Target Hall, operating the leak detector.  Grant Minor and Anders Mjos were present with Chad Fisher at the Hot Cell.

The "D" circuit was already blanked off with a copper blank containing silver brazed stainless steel inserts and indium plated inconel c-seals.

The "C" circuit was already blanked off with an aluminum blank and rubber o-rings.

The cooling lines are indicated in the attached screencapture from ITA6021 Rev .14, and are also labelled in the attached photo.

The "D" circuit was checked first, starting at around 12pm.

1.  The helium flow was tested by blowing dust on the work table.

2. The base leak rate on the Varian leak detector was confirmed in the "D" circuit to be stable at 10^-9 atm cc / sec and the pressure was 10^-4 Torr.

3. Each soldered joint on the "D" circuit was sprayed with a 2-second blast of helium - no response at the Varian.

4. The joint between the module-half of the water block and the copper blank-off was sprayed with a 2-second burst - no response.

5. A general area flood of helium sprayed for 10 seconds was applied all around both the "D" and "C" blocks - no response.

It was concluded that the "D" circuit had passed this leak check.  The "C" circuit was checked next.  The detector was changed to the "C" circuit and the circuit was pumped down.  At around 2pm the leak check resumed.

6. The base leak rate on the Varian leak detector was confirmed in the "C" circuit to be stable at 10^-9 atm cc / sec and the pressure was 10^-4 Torr.

7. The solder joint area on the "C" circuit was sprayed with an 8-second burst of helium - no response.

8. The joint between the two halves of the water blocks was sprayed with a 6-second helium burst - no response.

It was concluded that the "C" circuit had passed this leak check.

The electrical continuity of the "C" and "D" circuits were confirmed in the Target Hall at the service cap, and in the module at the Hot Cell, to double check that the correct lines has been pumped and leak checked - this was OK.

The ionizer tube heater lines appear to be leak tight at the Hot Cell.

TM#2 has been moved to the hot cell from the north east silo.

  TM1 has been connected in ITW . The new roughing pump replaced on last Friday works good. I started all turbo pumps in ITW. The ITW TP1 controller was broken during the starting time. Dimo and I changed a new controller for ITW TP1 in electrical room. The pumping down is good so far. ITW water supplies to TM1 only.      

Stop TM1 and CS turbo pumps and ruff pump. TM1 is disconnect at CS. It will be vented tomorrow morning and moved to ITW.

The TM1 HS line is  pressure tested this morning with 70 psi helium  at CS. No response has been found on leak detector.

I connected TM1 at CS. All turbo pumps have been started. The pumping down is  good so far.

Chad and I leak checked TM1 HS waterline with new target installed at SHC. The LD base LR:0.0xE-9atm.cc/sec, base pressure: 0.0xE-4 torr. Chad sprayed helium on both VCR fittings and flushed helium around the target. No response has been found on leak detector. The target HS line is leak tight so far. I will do helium pressure test on this line at CS on next Monday.

TM#1 with Ta#43 has been moved from the south hot cell to conditioning station.

TM#1 with Ta#43 electrical check see attached PDF.

Just some notes on the install of SiC#30 on TM3 last month...It was installed with all new fasteners and torque values provided by Anders were used...of main interest is probably the main high current fasteners which were torqued to 150 in lbs.

The UCx#9 target has been revomed from the target module...leg A was broken as suspected.

Ta#42 has been installed. High current connection fasteners torqued to 150 in lbs.

Electrical check of the TM#1 with UC#9 post beam at the south hot cell.

The TM1 and ITW  were vented with argon gas last night. TM1 had been disconnected in ITW this morning.

TM#1 with UC#9 has been moved from the west target station to the south hot cell.

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

There were some problems this morning with provision of FEBIAD gas to the the target at ITE.  It was suspected that the gas line was improperly connected to the module, or that the valves at the module were not opened.

Remote Handling was asked to open the HV cover on TM3 at ITE and check the connection of the FEBIAD gas line.  Grant Minor, Maico Dalla Valle, Dan McDonald, and Anders Mjos entered the Target Hall before lunch on Work Permit I2014-07-07-1.

Maico entered ITE with suit and respirator, disengaged / disconnected the interlocks and removed the HV cover.  He inspected the FEBIAD gas line and found that it was properly connected, and that the valves were both open.  The gas line is shown in the attached image, with both valves marked in red.

Grant and Anders went into the electrical room to examine the supply gas bottle and supply circuit, and found that the supply gas pressure to the regulating valve was low.  It was concluded that the problem was not at the Target Module / Target Station.

Grant returned to the Target Station and instructed Maico to replace the HV cover.  After this was done, Grant confirmed with Jon Aoki over the phone that the interlock switch signals were both reading "OK".

Friedhelm Ames made an entry in today's ISAC Ops e-log regarding the supply pressure to the regulating valve.

I reconnected TM3 in ITE. All turbo pumps have been started. The water supply to TM3 only in ITE. The HV keys are back to electrical room.

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.
