The sheet metal panel covering the NHC/SHC feedthrough port was removed today using a slide-hammer to pull out the concrete anchors (this oversized panel would have interfered with the NHC partition wall).  50cpm was found on the inside of the panel, 100cpm on the NHC side lip of the feedthrough, and 350cpm on the face of the shielding bricks in the feedthrough.  Various dimensional measurements of the feedthrough were taken which will be added to the partition wall Solidworks model (IRH1609).  The panel was bagged for disposal and a temporary 20"x20" panel was put over the feedthrough and secured with duct tape.  A permanent panel with anchored supports that is compatible with the NHC partition wall will be designed and installed at a later date.  A swipe of the NHC walls and floor picked up 30cpm after completion of the job.

A silo and blue steel frame are removed out of TH this morning. They are transferred  through ante room, and moved to experimental hall TM assembly area for a long term storage. Swipes are done on the silo and frame before and during move. No contamination has been found .

The spent UC#17 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. See the attached pdf for details.

A steel plate  is covered on TCS. TCS roughing pump  is started now. The TCS will be pumping down during mini-shut down.

Argon venting is started

Ta#49 has been removed from the south hot cell and placed in the storage vault. It is in pail 146 and in spot 6A.

Broken cable has been replaced however a cable has hopped some pulleys inside. After two hours in cell the job was stopped with cables still off pulleys. Alternate tooling will have to be made and the job will continue Monday.

Maico entered the hot cell and re-strung the skipped cable back onto the pulleys this morning. Manipulator is now operational.

conductor insulators itd0053 and 54 have been replaced on TM2. All fasteners (1/4-20 x 1 1/4 vented) torqued to 60 in lbs.

Spent SiC#34 was moved on the 3rd of November and  placed in the spent target vault. See attached pdf for details.

David Wang and I accessed the NHC today to check if the proposed duct routing (IRH1618) will interfere with servicing or replacement of the TCS turbo pump.  A piece of plywood was placed in the future position of the NHC/TCS partition wall (IRH1609), and a ducting elbow was placed at the approximate position of the nearest elbow to the turbo pump.

David concluded that the ducting in the proposed location will not have any significant effect on replacement of the turbo pump, and he does not expect replacement will be difficult to perform after installation of the wall and NHC ducting.  Standing at floor level towards the east side of the TCS space and reaching upwards seemed to be the best way to reach the turbo pump flange bolts.  It was also noted that there was sufficient room in the TCS space for two workers to be in the area.

TCS will be vented tomorrow morning for TM2 moving.

On November 24th 2016 the spent SiC#35 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. see attached pdf for details.

 The concrete floor in the North Hot Cell service area and the top of the NHC roof block in the target hall have been painted with Macropoxy 646 oil based epoxy paint, colour Flint Grey.  Two coats were used for the NHC roof, and one for the service area floor.

TCS TP1S has been started.

2017-01-23 afternoon: Stopped TP1S. We will use TCS to take TM2 tomorrow afternoon.

 The new ducting section connecting the existing duct termination in the TCS space to the NHC partition wall has been installed by Smith Sheet Metal contractors.  The installation drawing is IRH1618.  There was not enough clearance between the duct pipe and the TCS vessel to butt weld the new ductwork as originally intended.  Instead a flange was welded to the existing pipe and also to the new section and the two were bolted together.  Drawings of the modifications have been provided by the contractor, and as-built drawings will be completed at a later date.  There was not time for the contractor to fabricate a gasket for the flanged joint, so one will be installed by TRIUMF at a later date and included in the as-built drawing package.

 The final panels of the partition wall were installed today as per drawing IRH1609.  Sealing, finishing, and painting of the NHC walls and floor can now commence.
