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.

Weekly update TH schedule according to changes. see attachment 1,2 .

Update TH schedule before the weekend. see attachment 3,4

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

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.
