ITE primary and secondary vacuum vessel leak check has been done. SST bellow for 2A3M19  wire scanner on entrance module top has a big leak to E-5 atm.cc/sec on tiny helium spray. The bellow will be replaced in March by probe group. The LD base leak rate is affected by this big leak so i cant keep the LD scale at 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec during the leak check. Other seal are leak free to 8XE-9 atm.cc/sec. I have no big concern on ITE vacuum seals status by the result.

ITW exit 1 module was disconnected  for Exit module flange o -ring replacement yesterday. After oring replacement, the module has been reconnected.

ITW exit 1 module tank flange o ring has been replaced. the old o r-ing was completely flat in slot without elastic property.  tank flange, module flange, and o ring slot were clean by acetone and canister vacuumed. Raised up module 3 feet and pulled new o-ring over module top so new o ring could be  installed without moving module out. after new o ring installation, craned down module to flange and raised up module 2 feet again to confirm the o ring is properly sit in slot.

 ITW entrance module and exit 1 module leak check on module service cap/top air to vacuum seals and module to tank flange  o-rings have been done. all seals and o rings are leak free to 0.0 xE-9atm.cc/sec except one leak ( to low E-6 atm.cc/sec) on ITW RV4 KF50 o-ring was found. It caused by a cross o ring surface scratch on KF 50 flange. the scratch was sanded and polished out. on second time leak check, it is leak free.

100 liters of high active water from HALCW system( mostly from s-tank and pipe lines closing to pumps) are transferred to holding tank in 2A tunnel. Transfer is smooth.  it is a preparation job for ITC:MP1/MP2 refurbishment.  water sample is passed to RPG for assay.

ITE entrance module has been disconnected per document 190510. Its a preparation job for next month module moving out to SHC.

ITE entrance module has been moved from ITE pit to TCS. The move is smooth.ITE entrance module top tank flange and o ring slot are cleaned, and old o ring are replaced.

ITE entrance module has been moved from TCS to ITE. The move is smooth.

ITE entrance module has been reconnected in ITE pit per document 190510.

Tm3 has been moved to SHC from silo. the move is smooth.

ITE entrance module top and module flange o-ing to tank have been leak checked. no leak at 0.0xe-9 atm.cc/sec. things are double checked.

Tm3 has been moved  from SHC to silo. The move is smooth.

both high active pumps ITC:MP1 and MP2 are refurbished by RH group Maico and Peter. Pumps have been installed back to system with new inlet/outlet flange gaskets. high active water surging tank is refilled with water and pumps were primed. I asked operator to switch on pumps separately. Both pumps work fine. They are quiet and pumps discharging pressure is a little bit better comparing to before refurbishment. Nitrogen gas is injecting into system. O2 level is decreasing and R is going up.

2024-04-09: Joel.S checked pumps phase current draw: MP1 16.8 to 17.1A on each phase. MP2 17.0 to 17.2 A on each phase. They are normal. Pump body temperature are below 45C which is fine. 

water are supplied to both ITE and ITW. I did a general inspection on HALCW system. Two small leaks on 2" shut off valves are fixed. No other leak has been found so far. all water flow meters work fine. MP2 pump discharging pressure is ok which is just above 100 psi on local gauge reading. pump noise are low. pump body temperature is less than 45C which is good. 

Tm3 was moved from silo to SHC yesterday. the move is smooth.

TM3 new source tray was transferred into SHC on this Tuesday. one hook arm of transfer jig is very close to optic tray tube when engaging the jig on transfer frame. tube side hook arm should go east side a little bit further to avoid the tube.  Also the HS tube top lines to  transfer frame beam bottom distance needs to be watched closely when hooking on the frame.Help from HC window is necessary. By watching on this details, Source tray are successfully moved into SHC with crane controlled locally in TH.Transfer frame was retrieved back to TH. It was cleaned, bagged and stored in TH.

Monday and Tuesday, I started TCS water system and enabled the TCS chillers auto stage in/out. I saw chiller 2 in/out three times at 17C and 21.8C without issue.   TCS water system works fine. The test is finished.

ITH:MP1S pump inside lubricant was changed today. old lubricant is dirty with dark color. they are stored in sealed waste oil jug and stored in silo area. Pump has been installed back and started. It works fine.

TM3 water lines helium spray leak check at SHC is done. No leak has been found on all lines. seeattachment

TM3 has been moved  from SHC to TCS. The move is smooth.
