|
100 liters of high active water from HALCW system( mostly from s-tank and pipe lines closing to pumps) are transferred to holding tank in 2A tunnel.
Transfer is smooth. it is a preparation job for ITC:MP1/MP2 refurbishment. water sample is passed to RPG for assay. |
Friday, February 16, 2024, 10:57, Adam Newsome, Spent Target Vault, Standard Operation, , , F-308 flask loading - three flasks loaded 
|
Today (2024-02-16), three flasks were loaded in preparation for shipment with the following targets: UCx#39, UCx#41 and C#3.
Note: prior to shipping, the pails within these flasks will need to have a crimped lifting loop added to them.
The mini-storage vault is now EMPTY. |

Thursday, February 15, 2024, 17:40, Carla Babcock, ITE, Standard Operation, , , ITE annual HV testing
|
ITE was set up for HV tests - this time the module plug was not in so the BIAS and EE had to be bypassed. NOTE: ITE:BIASPLC must also be bypassed for
this to work. Currently it is located on the vacuum bypasses page, but may be changed to the optics page soon.
ITE was ramped to 60kV in steps of 1kV easily. It sat at 60 for about 1.5 hours with a current draw around 173uA. It was not entirely stable though, |

Thursday, February 15, 2024, 13:52, David Wang, ITW, Standard Operation, , , ITW entrance module and exit 1 module leak check after module move and tank flange orings replacement.
|
ITW entrance module and exit 1 module leak check on module service cap/top air to vacuum seals and module to tank flange o-rings have been
done. all seals and o rings are leak free to 0.0 xE-9atm.cc/sec except one leak ( to low E-6 atm.cc/sec) on ITW RV4 KF50 o-ring was found. It caused by
a cross o ring surface scratch on KF 50 flange. the scratch was sanded and polished out. on second time leak check, it is leak free. |

Wednesday, February 14, 2024, 11:34, Adam Newsome, Spent Target Vault, Standard Operation, , Misc., Three pails moved from main vault to mini vault
|
In preparation for F-308 loading, three pails were moved from the main storage vault to the mini storage vault. The following pails were moved:
Pail 270 (C#3)
Pail 276 (UC#39)
Pail 231 (UC#41)
Target Index spreadsheet updated, attached. |

|
Spent target UCx#43 (pail 289) was moved from the South Hot Cell to the Storage Vault, placed in location 2A. Dose rate at 1m was approximately 22.6
mSv/hr.
Target index spreadsheet updated, attached. |

Monday, February 12, 2024, 18:44, Carla Babcock, ITW, Maintenance, , , ITW annual HV testing
|
ITW was set up for HV testing - water is running and at a high resistivity due to injected N. Einzel lens is attached to ground. Everything else is as
normal. The module plug is in so no vacuum bypasses were needed. Very easy to ramp to 60kV. Sat at 60 for about 1.5hrs with maybe 1 spark (hard to say
from the strip tool data). Current draw was about 176uA. Data dumped as isac/data/ITW_HVtesting_shutdown2024 |

|
Today (2024-02-09), five flasks were loaded in preparation for shipment with the following targets: SiC#41, SiC#42, Nb#9, UC#36, Ta#58.
Note: prior to shipping, the pails within these flasks will need to have a crimped lifting loop added to them.
The mini-storage vault is now EMPTY. |

Tuesday, February 06, 2024, 13:36, David Wang, ITW, Maintenance, , , ITW exit 1 module tank flange o ring has been replaced.
|
ITW exit 1 module tank flange o ring has been replaced. the old o r-ing was completely flat in slot without elastic property. tank flange, module
flange, and o ring slot were clean by acetone and canister vacuumed. Raised up module 3 feet and pulled new o-ring over module top so new o ring could
be installed without moving module out. after new o ring installation, craned down module to flange and raised up module 2 feet again to confirm |

Friday, February 02, 2024, 07:48, David Wang, ITE, Standard Operation, TM4, , ITE primary and secondary vacuum vessel leak check.
|
ITE primary and secondary vacuum vessel leak check has been done. SST bellow for 2A3M19 wire scanner on entrance module top has a big leak to E-5
atm.cc/sec on tiny helium spray. The bellow will be replaced in March by probe group. The LD base leak rate is affected by this big leak so i cant keep
the LD scale at 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec during the leak check. Other seal are leak free to 8XE-9 atm.cc/sec. I have no big concern on ITE vacuum seals status |

Friday, January 26, 2024, 16:48, Carla Babcock, South Hot-Cell, Standard Operation, TM4, UC43, UCx#43 PIE
|
UCx#43 PIE was done in the SHC. As expected based on electrical measurements, the target container was broken on the right side and came off easily.
Despite all the black stuff seen on the containment box and source tray, the inside of the heat shield was very clean. Checked if the Re foil was curled
in and didn't see anything. Looked fine other than the broken container. |
