Six F-308's where received from Nordion #6,#15,#13,#16 all contained contamination. Loose contamination was removed with some fixed contamination remaining levels are low enough to allow the transport of spent targets. flasks where serviced as per Nordion Document IS/PP 0009 F308, IS/PP 0981 F308. Flasks are now located in the north hot cell area.

ZrC#7 was transfered to a spent target disposal pail today and removed from the hot cell. The "hot" end of the TM4 coil end was also disposed of in the same pail (#129)

The spent ZrC#7 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. The target was placed in pail #129 and then placed in slot 3B of the vault, it was 157mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell.

Five F-308s have been filled with the spent targets. The F-308s have been moved to the hall way between the north and south hot cell areas.

ISAC operators attempted HV conditioning over the weekend.

Decon/removal of large solid waste was performed on Wednesday November 18th."Hot" activated items included containment box cover from TM2, Febiad coil line remnants from TM4 (the hottest ends were previously cut off and disposed of), some target conductor bolts, steerer plugs from TM2, target material remn.

Drum containing these solid items is 2.5mSv/hr at 1/2m.

Drum is stored in the north hot cell temp.

Compressible waste will require another drum.

Swipes were taken of the window... 170k counts per minute of cont.

Residual fields from the remaining compressible waste were still too high (as far as I'm concerned) so I have unpacked all compressible waste looking for a "hot" item that has snuck into these items.

I have a hand full of small bolts (possible target components), a hand full of target material/dust (including an entire target disc), and some cloths that had clearly been used to wipe the table (they are black with target dust).

These items will be disposed of with the next spent target.

electronics package on left manip died completely yesterday (it has been going for a while).

Disconnected entire package and replaced with package from "spare" manipulator.

everything is back up and working.

Cell (table) was systematically cleaned with a swiffer and resulting piles of contaminated waste placed in pail with spent Ta target.

Ta#46 was placed in the ISAC spent target vault yesterday. See attached PDF for details.

Another drum of waste was removed from the south hot cell this morning. This drum contained one 5 gal steel pail (damaged), two sodium light bulbs, airlines, and tank suits. Upon removal the drum was/is 1.5 mSv/h on contact. there was 200 counts of contamination found on the lid...easily removed. It will be moved to the north hot cell at 11am.

 It was found that the conversion from voltage to vacuum (Torr) in EPICS is not correct for the XGS-600 controllers in use at the TCS. EPICS did not correspond to local values displayed on the controller. An e-fault has been submitted.

 EPICS conversion updated and corrected by Mike Rowe.

Entered the hot cell to perform final decon on the window. Initial swipes this morning were 11000 c.p.m. on 44-2. After decon approximately 100 counts.

Five spent targets have been moved from the Spent Target Vault to Mini Storage in preparation for transfer to F-308s in February. The following targets were moved Ta#35, Ta#39, SiC#27, UC#12, ThO#1
