Preparing vent the TCS/TM3. We will remove TM3 service tray cover plate  after venting.

TM3 service tray cover plate has been removed. It is bagged and placed to TH b2 level south wall beside the silo.

TCS and TM3 all vacuum pumps are started. Everything is fine.

Entered hot cell to preform replacement of slave tong cable. Existing cable shows no signs of wear so it has been re-installed. A spare tong cable has been loaded into a spare tong while in the hot cell in preparation for next time this cable needs to be replaced.

Broken insulators ITD0053 and ITD0054 have been uninstalled from TM2.

Insulators ITD0053 and 54 have been replaced. All fasteners torqued to 56 in lbs.

Chad and Anders inspected the Source Tray today using the camera in the hot cell. A dark spot was observed on one of the four insulators separating the Extraction Electrode from the Ground Electrode. This could potentially influence the high leakage current. Some discolored areas were also observed in the Service Tray, but these was present when the module was built. See attachment for details.

Two side panels on TM2 service cap were removed for TM2 service cap inside inspection. A piece of cable tie was found inside cap closing to service tray entrance area. All blue nylon insulators are inspected. They look good. The broken cable tie is moved out of service cap.

 Panels are installed back after the inspection.

TM2 containment box has been removed. Found a piece of capton tape or tubing under table (see picture).

  I did helium pressure test on TM2 containment box window and HS line at TCS. @ 70psi helium  for 3 minutes, HS:2.2XE-7 atm.cc/sec., Window:1.2XE-7 atm.cc/sec. There is no change on HS. But LR on window is bigger than before that was in E -9atm.cc/sec range.  

 Due to problems with the regulating valve WPV1, the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for the pump has been programmed to do a slow (2 min) ramp up. WPV1 has been bypassed and left fully opened. Work was done by Dave Morris

David installed the new ball valve and connections for the SAS project module move ventilation. SASP0482. Drawing reference ISK5029B.

 The NHC module port shield block (IRH1645) and the TCS vessel shield block (IRH1646) were installed yesterday in the target hall according to assembly drawing IRH1652.  No issues were encountered during installation.  Vacuum was pulled on the TCS and a leak check was performed on the shield: no leaks found.

The 4" PVC drain line in the ISAC-1 active sump was modified so that the drain pipe terminates below the low level water line of the automatic pump-out system.  This will prevent backflow of sump gasses into the SHC, NHC, or TCS space if the air pressure in any of those rooms are lower than the sump air pressure.  The details of the modification were specified by Mechanical Services Group, and the work was done by Paul Jensen.  This system is defined in drawing IAM19183.

 HV was brought up to 70 kV for 1 h without sparks to test the new water installation.

ITW is configured to take proton beam.

TCS  cooling polyurethane lines have been re-routed to solve to HV sparking issue on old configuration between lines and bais plate.  New re-routed system is tested to 70KV without spark. No leak has been found on new lines after the test.

ECO 4369, drawings and models IRH1715, IRH1716 have been issued and released for this job. Drawings and Models are located in PDM-ISAC1 -TCS polyurethane water lines re-route folder.

Spare source tray build continued.

Initial alignment check in the morning:

- Target mounting plate target: Horizontal: .002, Vertical: -.002

- Ground electrode (bore) target, with un-clamped target: H 0.0 V -.003

- Ground electrode target (with target clamped): H: 0.0, V: .010

@14:10: sighting Master target position WRT sighting axis, calculated using the edges of the brunson target center circle edges calculated to center. Target circle is .02" in diameter.

- Master target mounted with slight finger torque.

- Front of master target, H .002 V -.002

- Rear of master target, H: 0.0 V: .005 (circle target is .020" in diameter)

- Rear of ground electrode target, H: .002, V: 0.011

@14:49: Replace mount plate target.

- Target mounting plate target: H -.001, V .001

- Ground electrode target: H .002, V .011 (rear target was rotated 90 deg from in the morning as a check)

@15:21 Steerer cone re-alignment.

- Undid the six screws holding the steerer cone and steerers to the aluminum flange and adjusted cone tip to RIB axis. The ground electrode bore was deemed not to be adjustable to the RIB axis with the current build order.

*Steerer cone assembly torque is 23 in-lbs

- Steerer cone target, H: .001, V: 0.0

- Steerer cone target, H: .002, V: .002 (after rotating target 180 degrees)

@15:30 Replaced target mounting plate target.

- Mounting plate target, H: .001, V: -0.001


Will go ahead and finish mounting components to mounting plate and final check the alignment after.

 Field measurements were taken of the old source trays. The old TM#2 source tray had a minimum field value of 0.50 mSv/hr and a maximum of 1.18 mSv/hr through 360 deg of rotation. The box was rotated around three times and put back in the vault. TM#1 old source tray was also removed and measured as well the field values for it were a minimum of 0.52 mSv/hr and a maximum of 1.15 mSv/hr through 360 deg of rotation. The box was rotated around three times and placed back in the vault. In both cases the box was roughly one metre from the radiation monitor.   

Source tray is complete for brazing, gas line bracket is currently missing but can be made in parallel with tube bending operations.

Source tray water lines to be fabricated according to ITA6144 drawing set.

- Alignment between target mounting plate and steerer cone is holding within .002"

- Aluminum soldering jigs are installed in place of the ceramics with fasteners only torqued just past "finger tight".
