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.

Update schedule weekly .see attachment 1,2

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

Post MS project and Excel    target hall schedule for beam schedule 130 see attachments 1,2

Update TH schedule 130 with TM3 jobs involved in.see attachments 4,5.

2016-04-29.  Weekly update schedule according to changes. See attachments 6,7.

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 

ITE is configured to take proton beam.

The spent target assay were finally started or re-started today. Four targets were done today.

June 29 2016 another four targets were done today.

June 30 2016 all targets have assayed and measured. see the attached PDFs for the results.

The five spent target F308  flasks where gone through in accordance with Nordion guidelines, the sixth spare is remains in the Hot Cell area. All flasks where in reasonable shape with two needing weld repairs on the pallets. I replaced all the 3/4" pallet to flask fasteners with new Grade 8 bolts nut and washer combo. Flasks have been moved into the Hot Cell area awaiting movement into the Target Hall.

I switched off the vacuum pumps and vented TCS with argon. The TCS will be ready to accept TM2 this afternoon.

Plant Services group (Tony) will contact a service tech on Monday.

Water system will be switched off over the weekend.

The spent Ta#48 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. I was placed in pail 139 and is in spot 6C in the vault. It was 201mSv/hr when measured at the hot cell. See the attached PDF for the latest results.

Thursday, July 14, 2016, 13:24: Claus from Daikin is on site to troubleshoot.

The VFD driven fan motor has failed. Temporarily blocked air-flow through failed fan to improve air-flow to radiator. A new motor will be ordered (Curtis).

Thursday, July 14, 2016, 15:39: Stopped cooling system for the day

Friday, July 15, 2016, 08:16: Cooling system started

Friday, July 15, 2016, 15:00; Cooling system stopped.

The two 45 gal (m) drums of waste removed from the south hot cell in December 2015 and January 2016 were transferred from the north hot cell to the shaft of the east vault tunnel on Monday, July 25th 2016 and subsequently to the east tunnel bunker in the vault tunnel on Tuesday, July 26th, 2016.The first drum (removed from the hot cell in December) containing both activated and contaminated metals was measured at 900 uSv/hr @ .5 m and the second drum (removed from the hot cell in January 2016) containing compressible items such as tank suits and plastic was measured at 150 uSv/hr @ .5 m.

Items were filed for storage/disposal with RPG under item number 1395 on the radioactive storage form.

Drums were transported to the vault tunnel using the 500 Mev Shield Flask (Drawing E-7097) with some minor modifications, namely a 1/4" thick Aluminum plate with four holes that line up with the holes in the bottom flange of the flask. This plate provided a bottom for the flask so that a drum could be contained within the flask during craning. Holes in the plate where countersunk for a 1/2" flat head bolt. Four bolts were also modified to accept 3/16 hair pins. 3 plates with clearances holes for the bolts were also manufactured to act as washers.

Procedure was as follows: With plate, washers and pins installed onto the flask, a modified drum dolly (5" spacers added to the casters) was placed inside the flask. Drum was craned into the flask using the automatic drum lifter. Flask with drum loaded was moved to the Meson Hall loading bay then craned to the B2 level of the Meson hall. Hair pins were pulled from the flask and the flask was then craned up leaving the drum (which was on the dolly firstly installed into the flask) and the plate. Drum on dolly was rolled to vault access shaft where it was craned off the modified dolly using the automatic drum lifter and down the access shaft to the vault tunnel level.  A second drum dolly was waiting at the bottom level and drum lowered onto it. Procedure was repeated for the second drum

Was vault was open , drums were wheeled into the vault tunnel and into a bunker that had been modified to accept these drums. Drums were lifted off dollies and put in place in bunker which had blocks installed to cover the entrance provided for installation.
