  1944   Thursday, June 20, 2019, 15:09 Isaac EarleSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP motor wiring inspected by electrician

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.

  1955   Friday, July 26, 2019, 15:43 Isaac EarleSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP vacuum control system completed

 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).

  1990   Monday, September 30, 2019, 11:27 Isaac EarleSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP vacuum vessel modifications completed

The SMP vacuum vessel welds were reinforced to match the specifications on IRH1710 Rev D.  In addition a tube stub was added on the side of the vessel for installation of a PRV.  The relief valve installed was Accu-Glass 113150, with 2psi setpoint (not the MDC 420036 model specified on IRH1710 Rev D).  The drawing will be updated to reflect this.

Welding was performed in the TRIUMF machine shop.  A larger capacity forklift was rented to move the vessel back and forth between the shop and the Meson Hall loading bay where the main crane was used to flip the vessel between welds.

After welding the vessel was leak checked using a blank-off plate (helium leak tight).  The vessel was then returned to the Target Hall, the top flange IRH1755 was re-installed, and the TCS shield plug was installed on the flange.  The vessel was pumped down over the weekend using the SMP vacuum pump, and reached 8mTorr by Monday morning.  A helium leak check was performed in the Target Hall:  baseline leak rate 0.0E-9 atm-cc/sec, 0.0E-4Torr port pressure, no response to generous helium spray on PRV and around both seal locations for the top flange.

Remaining re-assembly of the SMP will now proceed.

  2006   Thursday, October 10, 2019, 16:17 Adam NewsomeSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP Main Panel: Relay Addition for E-Stop Circut

An update was made for the E-stop and power supply system in the SMP main panel. Upon testing remote control, it was determined that the Opto 22 AC module was not sufficiently rated to handle the current draw of the motor (5A fuse versus motor 5.7A current draw). The design was modified so that the E-stop chain, which supplies 120 VAC line voltage through the main panel E-stop then the remote module (or local pendant when plugged in), will now activate a relay rather than run directly to the motor and 24 VDC PSU. This means that this E-stop chain will not carry the current draw of the entire system. Rather, the relay that is toggled when the E-stop circuit is closed will supply the system with power - this relay is rated for 15 A so the main 10 A fuse will blow before the relay fails in the event of a current spike. The new relay was installed on Oct 9, 2019. The local pendant was tested at this time and worked as expected (motion control, E-stops). On Oct 10, 2019, remote control was tested again and is working as expected (motion control, E-stops). In the attached schematic screenshot, the modification is CR7. In the image of the panel, this relay is located in the top left.

 

Edit: TRIUMF electrician Joel Semilla has seen the design change and verified it is acceptable.

  2007   Tuesday, October 15, 2019, 16:42 Isaac EarleSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP flange alignment tested using shield plug

 As a preliminary test in preparation for SMP commissioning, one of the steel module shield plugs was installed into the SMP to check the positional and rotational alignment procedures.  The following is a summary of the steps performed:

  1. Shield plug lifted with crane and rotated to an arbitrary (non-orthogonal) position
  2. Using the crane pendant the shield plug was roughly aligned over the SMP and lowered until the base was within 15cm of the top of the flange
  3. The SMP flange was rotated to roughly match the orientation of the shield plug 
  4. Precise positioning of module achieved visually from within the Target Hall using crane for NESW position and SMP for rotation
  5. Module lowered into SMP vessel (not resting on base of vessel)
  6. Target Hall crane was then set to "Test Mode" and operated from the crane control room
  7. Crane position with the module centered in the SMP vessel was recorded as E-W: 18.5495m,  N-S: 4.9065m
  8. The shield plug was lifted from the SMP, moved to an arbitrary location in the Target Hall, and set to a different arbitrary rotational position
  9. The SMP flange was returned to the "centered" position
  10. The shield plug was moved to the previously recorded location over the SMP and lowered to within 15cm of the top of the flange (using cameras)
  11. Steps 3-5 were repeated using only camera views to achieve alignment (SMP rotation was controlled using the pendant with instructions by phone from the crane room operator because the module for remote control currently requires a part to be changed)

Official commissioning of the SMP will now be planned as per the commissioning plan Document-170404

A braided grounding strap was attached to the aluminum gear box support on the SMP shield box structure, and grounded by attaching it to the exterior of an electrical conduit located in the south-west corner of the B2 area at the top of the silo in that corner.  The braiding was also connected to the stainless steel support structure for the SMP vacuum pump.

  2015   Monday, October 28, 2019, 11:50 Travis CaveSpent Target VaultStandard Operation UC#28Spent Target Move

 UC#28 has been moved from the south hot cell to spent target storage. The target was placed in pail number 219 and placed in spot 1C of the vault, it was 12.6mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell. Also the spent target vault is now full and can not currently accept anymore targets.

  2016   Monday, October 28, 2019, 12:00 Isaac EarleSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP shielding attenuation measured & compared to theoretical values

The attenuation of the SMP shielding was measured as part of SMP commissioning (Document-170404, R1, Section 4, Test #8)

The field on the shutter side of TM3 was measured without any shielding as it was removed from a storage silo.  At 0.5m from the edge of the module the maximum field was 5.00mSv.  After installation into the SMP the maximum field outside the SMP shielding at 0.5m from the edge of the module was found to be 27uSv/hr. The resulting attenuation is 185x

Expected attenuation was calculated by Joe Mildenberger assuming that the majority of the activated components in that module are either copper or aluminum.  With 6" of steel shielding (SMP shield vessel plus vacuum vessel), the attenuation factors were found for the following isotopes: 

 

Na-22 (created in Al): 115

Co-60 (created in steel (Fe) or Cu): 70

Mn-54: (created in steel (Fe) or Cu): 200

 

Based on these figures, the measured result of 185 seems to be reasonable.

  2017   Tuesday, October 29, 2019, 10:00 Adam NewsomeSafe Module ParkingDevelopment  SMP Updates to E-stop circuit and feedback signals

The SMP main control panel and remote control module were updated in order to implement the following items which were deemed desirable during commissioning:
 

  •     24 VDC line added to E-stop circuit:

    Previously the E-stop relay cut power to only 120 VAC. This means that the lid rotation motor would stop instantly, but since the lid open/close valve is powered by 24 VDC which comes from a power supply unit, there would be a short delay while the unit powers off in which the valve was still active. This could result in a situation in which, for example, someone is operating the pendant to close the lid and another person recognizes a hazard and presses the E-stop on the main panel, but the lid does not stop closing for approximately 3 seconds while the operator is still holding the "close" button down.

    To rectify this issue, the 24 VDC line was routed through a NO contact of the same E-stop relay that controls the entire 120 VAC supply to the system. This was tested on Oct. 25, 2019 - working.

     
  • Status feedback signals to remote control room:

    Previously status signals for "Lid raised", "Lid Centred", "CW Limit", and "CCW Limit" were only displayed as light indicators on the main control panel. It was determined during remote operation that it would be helpful to have these signals sent back to the software interface so that an operator does not need to use a camera to look at the light indicators.


    Electrical drawings and cable schedule have been updated to reflect these changes. The SMP will be tested again using the commissioning plan checklist to confirm no there were no inadvertent effects on the rest of the same from these changes.
