Five F-308's were loaded with spent ISAC targets. All five F-308's were serviced two weeks ago. All bolts were torqued and security  cables were installed  for shipment.

Dan and I transferred 4 shielding blocks from ITE to block storage area. The ITE pit is opened now.

I stopped the conditioning station vacuum pumps. The CS is still under vacuum without venting.

Two of resin tank filter cartridges(supply and return) are changed today. Old cartridges and bagged and tagged. The contact field on them are 650usv/hr. The new cartridges are fiber-glass, Triumf store item. After replacement, the field on contact with the filter case are about 10 usv/hr. But the field on contact with top resin tank  has been increased from 45usv/hr  to 225 usv/hr

 The flow rate is relatively stable before and after change. See attachment

SiC#32 has been open for inspection.

SiC#32 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target storage. See attached PDF for details.

The high active water resistivity took a long time to recover after the upgrade to the water cooling circuit. The system needed about a month (from end February to end March) to recover to nominal values. See attached plot of archiver data.

TM1 has now been connected in ITW and the water resistivity remains > 8 MOhm cm, which should allow normal operation. However, the resin is suspected to be approaching end of life. Work is ongoing to get a new replacement resin tank.

I did a ITW water signals interlock check with ISAC opp. They are checked once a year before first beam on.

2016-04-13 Same test is done on ITE also. Everything is good.

The spent UC#14 target has been moved into the ISAC spent target vault. See the attached PDF for the details.

A meeting was held on May 4, 2016 to determine the scope of the North Hot Cell project.  The following was agreed upon by those in attendance:

The NHC will be a designated target change hot cell.  It will be capable of performing all routine target operations (target removal/installation, leak check, electrical check, video inspection, post irradiation examination, target waste packaging and removal) using the same method currently used in the south hot cell.  Provisions will be included for the ability to perform target waste separation in the future unless a significant obstacle is encountered in which case the meeting attendees will be consulted.  Target waste separation involves separating the internal target heater from the target heat shield, then combining multiple target heaters in a single F-308 shipment.  Neither an inert gas atmosphere nor a double-door waste transfer system will be part of the NHC scope.

The following people were in attendance:  Bob Laxdal, Anders Mjos, Don Jackson, Joe Mildenberger, Friedhelm Ames, Alex Gottberg, Grant Minor, Yasmine Saboui, Peter Kunz

The following people were invited, but were unable to attend:  Chad Fisher, Pierre Bricault

The project will begin immediately, with Isaac Earle as the project leader.  The first steps will be to submit a Project Initiation Sheet, then to write and release the Requirements Specification document.

Spent UC#15 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target storage. It was placed in pail number 136, and placed in spot C of tray one. It was 14.1mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell.

Weekly update .

The spent Ta#47 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. It was placed in pail #137 in spot 4C of the vault. It was 114mSv/hr upon removal from the vault.

The spent target vault door does not open or close. The emergency door closing did have to be used to close the door as it was locked in an open position, the door stopped just off the open override limit. The door was closed and the spent target that was being assayed was placed into the mini storage. The problem with the door appears to be related to the motor itself, as all the controls to the motor appear to be in working order. Also it was noticed on the emergency door closing winch the wire rope has a kink in it from sitting in open position for so long this can cause the wire rope to jump from the pulleys.

6/27/2016  Dan McDonald. Replacement motor was ordered from Beaver Industries Friday the 24th received this morning the 27th. Once received Travis wired the motor to its proper operating orientation. Once the motor was wired  it was  set it up and plugged it in to test rotation and control function, at this point we disconnected the motor and re installed it to the gear box. Ran three open close sequences to ensure all was well. In the case of the emergency cable system a plan is being developed to correct the cable slack and kinking problem. We went ahead and ordered a spare  vault motor which is located in the RH Machine Shop
