Adam Newsome | Spent Target Vault | Development | | | Safety Group Relay Interface Installation |
A relay contact-based interface module was installed in between Safety Group's storage vault door enable junction box and Remote Handling's control module for the vault door.
The purpose of this module, which contains a diode bridge and relay, is to isolate the safety system from the control module to prevent back-voltage on the safety system which can damage the PLC's power supply.
In the new configuration, rather than receiving a 24 VDC signal from the safety PLC, this signal activates the relay, whose normally closed contacts supply 24 VDC (from internal) to the safety relay inside the control module. Wiring was modified inside the control module to account for this change.
In investing how to achieve the same functionality as before this change, it was determined that the control module's electrical schematic was not correct and did not reflect the actual wiring. A new schematic was created for this based on the actual wiring, including new changes.
The system was tested by locking out the target hall, and verifying that:
- No failure occurred on the power supply for the safety PLC
- This new relay actuated when the target hall was locked out (i.e. received signal from PLC)
- This new relay correctly supplied 24 VDC to the safety relay within the control module, allowing for the Opto-22 control unit to output control signals to the motors
Note: currently the soft limit switches for the vault door close/open have been bypassed. This is not a safety issue; the door can still be fully opened and closed remotely (but the open override and close override buttons are rendered useless). The bypass will be rectified in the coming weeks and this e-log will be updated accordingly.
Edit (Aug. 13, 2020): the issue regarding the limit switches has been resolved. The entire system is functioning as it was prior to the safety interface installation. |

David Wang | ITE | Repair | TM4 | | TM4 steerers staus after" left " grounding issue, and first stage investigation |
Left (short) is switched with bottom. So on module:
"Left" is bottom in module actually
"Bottom and Right" is Left and right in module actually.
For the connection in ITE:
Left cable is connected to "left" ( bottom in module actually)
Top cable is connected to " Bottom and Right"( left and right in module actually)
Bottom and Right cable is connected to "Top" which is top in module.
Frank and I removed the panel, disconnected the "Left"cable inside panel, and checked cable to ground resistance. "Left "is dead short to ground on ohmmeter check still. So the short could be on cable or inside source tray. Further investigation is planned to confirm the short location. |

Matthew Gareau | North Hot-Cell | Repair | | | Ratcheting repair issues with both left and right master |
The were issues with both left and right master ratcheting;
- the left handle was getting stuck in a close position when there was a higher ratcheting tension added
- the right ratcheting was not tightening preventing proper use of the manipulator
Chad and myself were able to identify a missing set screw for the tong cable.
Once this was added the issue with the left master ratcheting seems to be solved.
Lubricant was added to the left master ratchet and this seems to solve this problem as well.
There was also an observation of missing set screws on the spare manipulator for attaching the wrist to the ratcheting handle, which will need to be ordered and attached.

The Target Hall Crane has been shut down in preparation for the power outage tomorrow (Dec 22). Power will be restored on Dec 23.
Dec 23 update: power has been restored. The crane appears to be in working condition as there is no fault indicator on the PLC. |

Matthew Gareau | North Hot-Cell | Development | | | NHC USB connection |
24/Noc/2020
USB was discovered to be in the reverse direction and will need to be change around to become operational
01/Dec/2020
USB was pulled from conduit
While attempting to re-pull the USB in the correction direction, the ethernet cable was damaged and need to be replaced,
(thanks to the Hubert's team for the wire help)
It was decided that it was too problematic to re-pull the wires with all other wires in the way. Therefore all the wires were removed from the operator control panel, and pulled so that the USB, USB power cord, and ethernet could be re-pulled all together.
However, even once all the wires were re-pulled and reconnected it was discovered that the USB had become damaged, and was removed again.
23/Dec/2020
- A new conduit was added through to the NHC, for only the USB
- USB was fed through, reconnected, and tested
- Putty will need to be added around the conduit to ensure a good seal into NHC |

David Wang | ITE | Standard Operation | | | ITE HV test. |
ITE annual HV test is done. No module in station. The bias power supply has been ramped up to 49KV on control page. We still have voltage limit issue on this PS at 48KV so it only can go to 47.7 KV on PS panel. No major spark during test.. The test result is same as last year test which was did in March 2020. |

David Wang | South Hot-Cell | Repair | TM4 | | TM4 steers short investigation. |
Cables were disconnected for steers in containment box. The Megga measurement (500V) result from the top of the module:
Left to right: OL, left to top OL, left to bottom OL, right to top OL, right to bottom OL, Top to bottom OL. And all of them to ground are OL. No short on cables from module top to steers itself. The short should be inside the steers. It will be confirmed with directly test on steers. |
