West entrance module - visible broken or disconnected wire visible on old/existing wire scanner. Wire scanner removed, new one installed.

 The West Entrance module has been moved from the south hot cell to the west target station.

Entrance module has been connected back to ITW. Everything is normal.

The SMP module support flange sub-assembly (IRH1755) was installed today according to drawing IRH1683.  Dow Corning 111 sealing compound was used to keep the o-ring adhered to the lower groove during transportation and installation.  The TCS shield plug (IRH1646) was then installed on the SMP module flange which has vacuum connections for leak checking.  Vacuum was pulled on the SMP vessel using the Varian 979 leak detector.  After approximately 3.5 hours of pumping the test port pressure was at 2.4E-2 Torr and leak rate was 7.9E-8atm*cc/s.  Helium was configured with the regulator set at 10psi and flow rate of >10 bubbles per second in Windex and then applied slowly around the perimeter of the vacuum flange (IRH1686) and it's mating components on both  the top and the bottom.  There was no response on the leak detector indicating the seals on both sides of the module flange are leak tight.

The following controls-related items were installed for the SMP project:

- Cable tray

- Main control panel

- Motor starter box

- Wiring from limit switches and rotation motor to main control panel

- Air fittings at supply (quick disconnect)

- Main air supply hose from supply to control panel (quick disconnect)

- Air tubing from lid control valve at control panel to lid cylinders

Air fittings stem off existing air supply lines on the South wall, below a manual shutoff valve. A quick disconnect was installed. When SMP is not in use, manual shutoff valve should be left off.

Main control panel and motor starter box were mounted on the North wall. Wire duct runs from the main control panel to the grated floor. Cabling/air runs underneath the mezzanine platform, along existing and new cable tray, to the SMP.

Cable tray was installed on the South wall, from the corner to the SMP module. A cutout was made to accommodate for existing tubing. An additional ~1 ft. of tray will be added to the end, near the corner, at a future time.

Remainder of installation work to be done before commissioning:

- Mount and install new Opto-22 module
- Chain new Opto-22 module to existing one (power, comms) below mezzanine on North wall

TM2 has been connected in ITE. high active water system and vacuum pumps are started. The pumping down on TM2 and ITE is good  so far.

See attachment for connection checklist.

TM1 shielding plates and their holding bolts are inspected. No corrosion.  TM1 is located at TCS now. Both TP1 and TP2 are started.

 A 55 Gal. drum was remotely lowered into the south hot cell. It was then filled with compressable waste. Then the drum was remotely removed from the south hot cell. The drum measured about 20microSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell.

ITE water signal interlock check is done. Everything is good. Coil 2   circuit no longer used in ITE . PQRU are looped as one circuit fro coil 1 circuit on Module since now.

TM4 has been connected at TCS for HV test. TCS water system and vacuum pumps are switched on.

 The old TM#4 source tray in the south hot cell was moved to the spent target vault. The tray had a low of 7.5mSv/hr to a high of 22.1mSv/hr though a 390 degree rotation.

I brought up TCS bias to 57.5 KV on TM4 without source tray at TCS. It was kept at this level about 1.0 hours. Some intermediate sparks. No spark trip on devices. 57.5KV is very close to the HV up limit of this module.

ITE is configured to take proton beam.

The AC wiring for the SMP motor was inspected by Randy Boehm (TRIUMF electrician) as recommended by Franco Mammarella (TRIUMF electrical engineer).  After inspecting the system Randy required the following changes:

1. AC wiring inside the control panel be increased to 16awg minimum (14awg preferred)
2. Wiring between the control panel and motor control box be increased to 14awg
3. Power cable to the motor be increased to 14awg
4. Current rating for MS connectors be checked and replaced if below 10A
5. Prefer that motor control box components be relocated to the control panel to reduce number of AC wires and connections (preferred but not mandatory)
6. A dedicated ground wire is required in the cable going to the motor (if not already in place)

After these changes have been made the inspection will be repeated.

July 31, 2019 update:

Items 1, 2, 3, and 6 from above were completed.  14awg wiring was used for wiring inside the control panel (Item 1).  Current rating for the MS connectors was checked and is over 10A (Item 4).  Motor control box components were not relocated to the control panel at this time (Item 5).

Randy repeated his inspection today, and approved of the updated 120V wiring.

Adam updated the SMP electrical and control schematics (IRH1868-1874)

New source tray was installed on TM4 yesterday. LD was used to pump down all water lines. Tube heater +D circuit has a big leak  around water block area. At base LR5.5 XE-5 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 170 mtorr, When Chad  moved this helium probe close to  water block area, The leak rate on LD went to maximum level right away. When the probe was moved out of water block area, the LR went back to base level. The test repeated again with same result. Also, Before helium spray test, I applied 80 psi air into the circuit. The air pressure can not be held in the circuit. The pressure drop on the line is quick. This shows a big leak on  D line as well. The rest water lines are fine. I pumped all of them down to LD bottom scale without problem. Chad and I helium sprayed window and MSP water blocks. No leak has been found.  The only line we have problem is the D line.

D line is still leak after repair and installation. We suspected the c-seals issue on this module. So, all water lines have been sprayed with helium for leak check.  Found "B" line target oven negative  is also leak. The rest line are good on helium spray leak check.  The further investigate on thi issue is taken place now.

 July 3:

Yesterday, TM4 B line was supplied with water at TCS for testing.  TCS: IG1 and IG2 had big response on it. See attachment. The water was disconnected right away, and line was purged. Vacuum recovered after overnight pump.

Tm4 has been moved from SHc to TCS without containment box. It is a new source tray on TM4.  A layer of plastic sheet was put on TH floor on module pass route during the move.

Electrical check on TM4 with spare test target. PQ is still shorted to RU. But, The short between 60KV bias and PQRU which we found last time is gone.  Target to PQRU at 250V mega measurement: 22.08 M. All conductivity between ABCD are about 5.0 m ohm which are good. All other ohm meter and Mega measurements are OL. Helium spray leak check on HS target VCR fittings is passed. Two blank offs are installed on source tray window cool lines. They passed  leak checked at SHC as well. 

 The SMP vacuum control system has been wired and setup to be controlled from EPICS.  Backing valve control (SMP:BV1) was tested by connecting to the turbo pump solenoid on TM3 located in the silo directly north of the SMP.  The SMP pump (SMP:MP1) was turned on and off through the EPICS interface and responded as expected.  Both convectron gauges (SMP:CG1 and SMP:CG2) responded as expected when the pump was turned on.  The readings from the two gauges were consistent throughout the mili-Torr range.

The work was done by Ray Mendoza under WP I2019-07-24-4 (work request #5239).
