5 shielding block had been moved  back to ITE. The ITE is configured to take proton beam.

 MAA is secured .The ITE and MAA are ready for taking proton beam now.

TM1 has been reconnected in ITW. Water interlock check for TM1 is done.

 I  reconnected TM1 to ITW on 02 July.The pumping down is good so far. TM1 water interlock check is good also.

I disconnected TM4 in ITW .The job took about 20minutes and I got 0.11 msv dose.

There is a huge leak on TM1 containment box window. I did a 70 psi helium pressure test on all TM1 water circuits this morning. The LD base leak rate was 0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec. When applying the 70 psi helium to containment box window circuit, the leak rate on LD jumped to 1XE-4 atm.cc/sec in 5 seconds.I released the helium source right away,t but the conditioning station is full of helium  molecules already, and the leak rate on LD stays at 1xE-5 atm.cc /sec.  The leak on this circuit is huge.    Other water lines are good.        

See attached report.

Summary:

Radio problems just before entry to cell. Inspection afterwards revealed batteries charge but battery in one radio shorts out after a couple loads/cycles.

Fields in hot cell range from 630 uSv/h @ 1 m to 1.5mSv/h @ 1m. Contributing to the fields is the febiad coil line removed from TM4 in the south west corner of the hot cell.

Contamination/particulate on table as mostly black colored and of a fairly substantial size, but seamingly easy to collect. Distinquishable pieces of target material present.

Hot cell window show no sign of leaking on the inside of cell.

Pre-filter changed.

Manipulators lubricated.

Hot cell entry procedures appear to still be fairly successful in minimizing contamination migration from the hot cell.

Field measured at block "R" through tool port with pole monitor is 6.65 mSv/H.

There are three air hoods and two air lines currently available.

3 swipes of the south hot cell table were taken from the target hall through the roof hatch (2 standard, 1 alpha).

Initial results of the table swipes are pending however swipes of the pool tool and end effector are clean, 0 counts, booties, gloves clean.

Fall arrest equipment has a puzzling 6000 counts, and suit 500 counts.

Entered south hot cell Wednesday and replaced the pre-filter air filter as well as the front two light bulbs. Also removed two bags of compressible garbage, one bag of metal, and of course the bagged air filter (as Joe M. expressed as interest in havung it).

Inital checks found approximately 4000 cpm on the cell side of the temporary Al. panel used during the cell entry, 2000 cpm on the tacky mats layed out beside the work area but nothing on the floor under the plastic that had been layed down for the job.

I have re-measured the fields in the hot cell. Fields at shield door Al cover are 101 uSv\h, in cell at the east manipulator are 245 uSv\h, and the largest field is 1.84 mSv\h...this appears to be the high current fasteners removed from the last target.

Chad entered the NHC today to tighten set-screws on both slave side manipulators and re-align the West side slave. Work took place using the HC Confined Space Entry procedure. See attached checklist. WP I2020-02-27-4

 Anders and I prepared ITE high voltage test in April 30 ( Friday morning), The MAA is locked for this.

High active water are purged to holding tank at B2  level. There should be around 48 gallons are purged out of system. No purging on dump circuits on both ITW/ ITE.

 A high voltage test was completed on a target free TM1 in the conditioning station. Only the turbo pumps on the target module were operational due to phase 2 construction. Testing started at 2:51PM with the following vacuum gauge readings, 1.6 x 10^-6 Diagnostics Box, 7.4 x 10^-7 Service Cap, 2.0 x 10^-6 Containment Box. Voltage was increased ~3kV at a time every minute until 21 kV was reached with a current of 0 uA. Voltage was then increased in ~1.5kV steps every 2 minutes until 30 kV was reach at a current of 60uA. This was held for 7 minutes until a spark occurred and the current spiked to 300uA and the voltage dropped. The voltage was dropped back to zero. The vacuum gauges had increased and read the following  1.6 x 10^-6 Diagnostics Box, 7.9 x 10^-7 Service Cap, 2.1 x 10^-6 Containment Box. Testing was restarted 2 minutes later (the vacuum gauges were still recovering for ~ another 2 minutes) and the voltage was quickly increased to 24kV reaching a current of 100uA. at 3:22 The current then fluxuated but trended up for the next 12 minutes peaking at a total current of 240uA. After this point the current started deceasing, at 3:41 the testing was concluded and the average current was ~170uA. The vacuum gauge readings were 1.6 x 10^-6 Diagnostics Box, 7.4 x 10^-7 Service Cap, 2.0 x 10^-6 Containment Box. It was deemed that this is "not ideal but good enough" to put the target on.  The maximum known required voltage will be ~22kV for Berillium which TM1 should be capable of providing.

 The BIAS voltage was brought up between 1:30pm and 5pm. Sparks tripped the BIAS power supply at voltages between 20 - 24 kV. Multiple attempts were made. The current was about 50-60 uA.

Temperature in the cooling circuit is too hight to do a HV test. The cooling circuit was started, but shuts off after ~10 m

Thursday, October 16, 2014

David and I found that the fans on the cooling unit on the roof did not run and that the compressors get hot and likely trip on over temperature protection (hot to the touch). We found the manual in the control panel of the unit.

10am: HV to 20kV before a spark tripped the PS. Current at 40 uA - resistivity at 11.9 Mohm

5pm: HV to 20kV before fluctuations in current, then a spark tripped the PS. Current around 40 uA. Resistivity 12.6 Mohm

Friday, October 17, 2014

8am: Staging did not start over night. TS5 temp is 31 deg C, which would have tripped power supplies. Reset and enabled staging.
The system increased staging until all 3 compressors were running.
9am: Cooling supply temperature reached ~3 deg C. Disabled staging and switched off all pumps
2pm: Switched off water circulation for the weekend.

No Source Tray installed. Loop on cooling circuit D. All other circuits blanked off.

Voltages stated below are set point voltages. These corresponds reasonably well with the local read backs on the power supplies. The read back voltages in EPICS are somewhat lower.

 The silicon carbide targets voltage was raised to 42 kV today before continuous current draw was observed. It took roughly 10 minutes to raise the module to this voltage with only the occasional spark. The ION gauge reading was 2.0 x 10^-6 T, The service cap IMG 3.6 x 10^-6 T, and the secondary vacuum was 4.5 x 10^-6 T. Setup check and conditioning was performed by Pierre.

 TM1 was high voltage tested without a target on November 16, 2011 with Don Jackson, Pierre Bricault, and Bevan Moss. The module was able to hold up to 25 kV but between that and 32 kV there was lots of discharge which could be measured in the vacuum. See the attached plot for the voltage current and sparks.

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.
