The roughing filter assembly (RFM0001D) has been installed at the ventilation exhaust hole on the NHC partition wall.  The filter used is Model # 332-528-002 supplied by BGE Service & Supply Ltd (see PO # TR123998).  Installation and removal of the filter using the manipulators will be tested after they have been installed.

HALCW resin tank has been replaced. The old tank is stored in middle-west silo now. The field on old resin tank bottom is about 3.5 msv/ hr(on contact). By shielding it into silo and putting two lead blankets on the top cover of the silo,The general field 1 feet above this silo is 25usv/hr. And, The field around the silo area are less affected. This old tank will stay there as long as possible.  For the new resin tank during preparation, It was found that on return line side, the 1.25" pipe thread plug with return line tube  was very difficult to be installed onto the female thread adapter which is welded onto to tank body. It was jammed in half way of threading onto tank at manufacturer. This plug was removed out first and inspected. The first and second male threads were galled.  Maico repaired the thread on a lathe. The female thread on the tank was tapped. A tight spot was found during the tap. After that, the return line plug could be installed onto the tank properly.  The new tank was installed into the vessel and connected back to HALCW system. Water are refilled into new tank. During refill air were trapped into the system. This caused  pump restarting problem. By Several times of starting up the pump, stopping the pump and venting,  Most air were breathed out of  system. Finally,The system was restarted by supply water to ITW( without module) only. ITE and resin can circuits were brought back to system after that without problem.

 Before removing the old tank, We drained water out of old tank to decay tank. Since the resin tank is largely filled with  resin, and water are soaked into resin, we only can drain out less than 10 liters water out of tank. Also, The drain caused some part of return line on pumps have to been drained. This is the main reason air was trapped in system during the new resin tank water refilling. For the future replacement, we should not drain water in old tank. It does not worth to do it. 

Attach TH HALCW resin tank replacement procedure here.

2022-02-17 reload replacement procedure and draining schematic.

Leaking seals on ITW HALCW 2" return line ball valve have been replaced. 8 liter waters are drained out for this job. Water are drained into a thick plastic bag.  The bag is tie strapped , labeled, and put into a yellow garbage bin in MAA. Water sample is given to RPG. After analyzing, RPG will give instruction on how to deal with it. Since we just refilled NALCW to system before this job, the active level on sample is very low. We may dump them into active sump.  After seals change, The system is refilled . I started pump and set everything back to normal configuration. NO leak has been found on new seals. The HALCW system is operating good so far.

It is closed @ 2:35PM by closing supply side valve first , the return side valve of ITE dump plug .

Opened ITE dump plug circuit valves @4:28PM. ITE IG1S still at 1XE-6. No change before and after of circuit closing and reopeneing.

The fields in the hot cell have been measured by means of a pole monitor through the tool port. Field was measured to be 25 uSv/h.

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.

Did a dry run with the latest procedure with Dan Mcdonald. Elapsed time was approximately 30 min.

I have moved the suspected "hot" items in the hot cell and placed them under some lead bricks. I have re-measured the fields and it has been reducded to 90 uSv\h at the manipulator repair area and 110 uSv/h at the previous 1.82 mSv\h area.

The west 'Z' motion cable on the east manipulator has successfully been replaced. The job took slightly less than an hour (including inspection of the scissor table hoses) and I received 0.075mSv. Scissor table hoses appear to be fine and also didn't "shed" or flake at all when checked by hand.

All target in the ISAC spent target vault have been either assayed or had their fields measured or both.

Strange noise and a burning brake type smell was observed yesterday by David and Anders when running the main 20 ton hoist locally.  A service call was arranged today with Gordon Crane.  No major issues were found.  A more detailed summary is in the attached e-mail correspondence.  Gordon Crane will issue a formal report, but they recommend replacing both sets of brake disks and brake calipers. - Grant

Transfered the 2A window from the ISAC Storage Vault to the Cyclotron Vault Tunnel Storage area. RPG storage form attached.

The 2A3 window now has a lid, and lift yolk on it and it has been installed in the spent target vault in spot 2A. The lid is a normal unmodified and has no sealant on it.

The pail containing window was transferred from the Storage Vault to the Cyclotron Vault Tunnel Storage 2017 Mar 24. It was placed in a brick bunker along the north wall and marked with item #1434. RPG storage form is attached.

Highest field measured at 0.5 m was 3000 uSv/h with an estimate of 4000 uSv/h on contact with the pail. Pail exterior was not contaminated. See attached storage form for details.

 

2A window has been removed from the vault and moved over the cyclotron vault tunnels.  Attached is the updated storage vault list.

ITE clean up is done.  HV cage inside is wiped.

Rust on S/W silo and cover plate stored at silo area are cleaned up.

Today, I checked TH crane main hoist  when shielding plug is installed into ITE pit. I did  some jogging actions on main hoist during the operation. Everything looks fine. No burning smell, no strange noise. An outside crane expert suggest that jogging is the worst working situation for crane. We have to use jogging actions during our crane operation. But, we could try to use less jogging when operate the crane.

ITE target module tank flange o-ring was replaced yesterday before TM4 moving. ITE: IG1S reading looks fine so far.

Hi Curtis

Further to the emergency service call at the Isac Target Hall on Thursday March 23rd, we advise as follows:

It was reported that the hoist was making an unusual noise and that there was a strong brake odour during operation.

The lift was completed using the auxiliary hoist.

A man-lift was arranged and Senior Service Technician Tom Kauss attended site the next morning to troubleshoot.

He determined that one of two hoist brakes (walkway side) had a strong odour and on closer examination it appeared that the 

brake lining material was breaking down and particulate lining material was getting caught between the lining and the discs.

These lining fragments were rubbing and burning off during the hoist operation.

The end cover of the brake had an accumulation of brake lining fragments 

The lining was not overly worn, but appears to be becoming friable, perhaps with age or exposure to radiation.

The brake was cleaned with compressed air to remove the friable material and thoroughly tested. 

A test load of approximately 10 tons was lifted and the hoist handled the load without issue

The brake fragment issue did not recur while we on site and the hoist was recommissioned for use.

To guard against the likely recurrence of this condition on this critical application crane, and as both brakes have seen identical conditions in operation, 

we recommend that both brake assemblies be replaced.

The brake assembly would include the brake coil, friction discs, steel brake discs and the brake springs

TRIUMF does not have a spare brake on hand, therefore one of the removed brakes could be rebuilt and kept on hand.
