Remotely remove tm4 from silo to shc. The moving is smooth.

Remotely removed Tm2 from silo to SHC. The moving is smooth.

Chad installed containment box back to TM2 yesterday. We leak checked VCR joints on window line.    No leak.

 Yesterday a bottle of Cava (sparkling wine) was place, opened, and poured in the NHC, to commemorate its new operational status.

The NHC is now a functional hot cell and is ready for many years of target exchanges to come.

An annual electrical and mechanical inspection was performed on the SMP today by Adam Newsome, Dan McDonald, and Jason Zhang as per Work Permit I2021-07-07-3. The following items were checked:

• Check condition of wiring for physical/radiation/UV damage
  • OK, no signs of significant damage
• Check for cable tray debris or damage
  • There were multiple shards of plastic in the cable tray - they were removed and disposed of
• Check inside control panel: components and wiring, labeling
  • Labeling intact, components in good condition
  • One COM wire for the relay array was loose - it was tightened
• Verify camera views
  • This was not inspected but has recently been checked, and is checked prior to remote operation
• Check connectors for damage
  • All connectors OK
• Check pendant for damage and verify labeling intact
  • Pendant OK
• Lid open/close test
  • Lid was opened and close multiple times - smooth operation, no concern
  • Lid close logic was checked - OK
• Vessel rotation and limit switch check
  • Both CW and CCW limits were checked, functioning
  • No concern on rotation - chain drive, rotary limit switch, and cable reel all functioning normally
• Lubricate chains
  • Done
• Inspect tensioners
  • Done - OK
• Tighten fasteners
  • Done - OK
  • Note: some concern over socket head screws in slotted parts - they should have washers. Not a critical issue but worth checking into.
• Visual inspection
  • All OK

Overall the inspection was successful.

The emergency close mechanism for the Storage Vault door was tested by Adam Newsome and Travis Cave. The door was opened to its fully open limit, then closed with the emergency system.

The test was successful.

TM4 was moved from the conditioning station to the East target station.

See the attached for the way ITE has been re-wired for the Ta62 run. Note also that the copper block in the schematic on TBHT negative may not actually be connected. Wiring verification on Aug. 4.

The West Entrance Module has been moved to the South Hot Cell for repair.

A cable track was installed between the mini-storage vault and the silos, for the purpose of implementing a retractable cable chain (e-chain). This will allow for cables to be managed during door opening/closing, so that remote control operation of the door will be possible in the future. See Work Permit I2021-08-11-2 (Aug 11)

Holes were drilled into the motor mounting plate (IRH2089) to allow for mounting a limit switch on the plate. See Work Permit I2021-08-17-7 (Aug 17)

Preliminary testing was completed in which the e-chain was fixed to the door with a C-clamp. Local and remote functionality were checked, and limit switch functionality was verified. Everything is working as expected. A final test will be conducted once the e-chain is fixed to the door and cabling routed through it. See Work Permit I2021-08-19-1 (Aug 19)

The e-chain has not yet been fixed to the vault door - holes will be drilled in-situ after preliminary testing is complete to confirm positioning.

 Edit [2021-09-23]: the installation is complete and has been tested.

The West Entrance Module has been moved from the South Hot Cell to the West Target Station.

Remote capability was added for the mini-storage door control. The control signals originate from the Opto 22 Module box that is used for the SMP remote control (this is located just above the storage vault).
The controls signal assignment document has been updated and can be found in C:\PDM Vault\PDM_Vault\_models\isac\isac1\wpn-3919 - safe module parking\Electrical

In order to operate remotely:
- Plug the mini-storage control box power cable into a wall outlet (adjacent main storage vault, under stairs)
- Plug the motor output cable into the mini-storage door motor
- Unplug the local pendant from the box
- Plug the cable that comes from the remote module box into the connector that the pendant was plugged into (M12, 5 pole Murr connector)
- Using the remote control program from the ISAC RH control room, click on the Mini-Storage option and then click buttons for open and close to operate the door (note: it is important to verify both opening and closing functions work before attempting any remote operation).

Remote and local functionality have been tested and verified working.

It is recommended to mount the mini-storage control box in a convenient area near the mini-storage (possibly on the wall adjacent the main storage vault).

Please contact me if you have any further questions.

ITE IG1S cable end connector replacement has been finished by Roy Huang.

It was noted on Nov. 9 that a squeaking noise was present when the turntable was rotated CCW with a module present.

Upon inspection, it appears the issue could be due to drive chain misalignment and improper tension. Furthermore, it was noted that a shaft collar on one of the existing chain tensioners was broken (a replacement was ordered).

Repairs will be performed on Nov. 19 to resolve these issues by re-aligning the chain, and resetting the tensioners. The turntable will be tested. This e-log will be updated once the work is complete and the system is returned to a functioning state. See Work Permit I2021-11-09--3

Edit, Nov. 19: the aforementioned repairs were completed and the turntable has been tested and is operating correctly. No squeaking noise is present. It is suggested to increase the diameter of the two chain tensioner shafts (and thus modify related bearing and shaft collar components) in order to prevent bending of the shaft which was observed. This will be done in the near future.

A rotary limit switch was installed, attached to the shaft adjacent to the drive motor for the vertical drive system. This limit switch is not yet wired to the control system and operational - this will be done at a future date and the e-log will be updated.

Edit (2022-03-02): see e-log https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/2309

An issue was observed in which the target hall crane was not functioning: the N-E-S-W and up/down motions did not work, however the rotation motion did work. These symptoms were similar to what was observed in the past under https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/2039 and https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/1845

The crane control console was not powered (i.e. pressing the ON/OFF buttons when the selector switch was set to remote mode, even when safety conditions were met, did not enable/disable remote functionality). The power supplies were checked and everything appeared to be powered as would be expected, except for items which depended on the main contactor (O-K1) being energized. This contactor needs the PLC to be in an operational state, fault-free. The PLC was checked and the red fault light was flashing. The battery light was not on (i.e. battery was OK).

The program was re-downloaded to the PLC. During an attempt to go online with the PLC, error code 0004h appeared (see attached image for description). This is an unfamiliar error code - typically the aforementioned symptoms arise due to a battery failure and the program being lost. In this case it is uncertain at this time what the cause of this fault is. It will be monitored in the future to determine if it occurs again, and further investigation will be performed.

After re-downloading the program and placing the PLC in RUN mode, the crane was fully restored to its operating state - the main contactor was able to be energized once again. The crane was put into remote mode and a brief functionality test on the motion axes was performed: OK.

TM4 was moved from ITE to SHC. Shield plug installed in ITE.

TM4 was moved from the South Hot Cell to the Conditioning Station.

We loaded UCx #29 , SiC #38  , Ta#53, Ta#56 ,and Ta#57 from mini storage  into F308 flasks.  Later, the flasks are transferred from TH to B2 HC service area. In TH, Working area and Mini storage are cleaned and surveyed.  Tools are cleaned and surveyed as well. No contamination.   Mini- storage is empty now.

Frank and I finished ITW and TM2 leak check. TM2 internal water-cooling lines are leak free. They passed 70 psi helium pressure test. We found some small leaks on ITW primary and secondary vacuum vessel. I list them here:

1. Exit module 2 service cap top plate to cap body O-ring at SW corner. Leak rate 2XE-8 atm.cc/sec. It is an old leak we found before. Solution: I sprayed high vacuum resin to leak area. It is improved to 3Xe-9atm/sec now. We can leave it there.

2. Exit module 1 module to tank flange o-ring at target module side and north side. Leak rate 3XE-8atm.cc/sec. Solution: replace the o-ring. It involves in disconnect exit module 1 and remove it out. We may or may not change it. Let's check the schedule and discuss it later. We need Travis help on module moving out.
   
3. Exit module 1 north side sqaure service panel o-ring. Leak rate 2XE-7 atm.cc/sec.  Solution: replace the o-ring. It is a straight forward job.  It will be done this shut down.
   
4. Exit module 1 north side round roughing valve panel o-ring. Leak rate 8XE-9 atm.cc/sec. Solution: Replace the o-ring. It involves in disconnecting and removing ITW RV4.  It could be done this shut down.
   
5. Big T tank o-ring seal underneath the flange at exit 1 module north side . Leak rate 3XE-8 atm.cc/sec. Solution: None. All modules and module base flange have to been moved out to replace this big o-ring.  It is a huge project to change this o-ring .  I checked this big o-ring seal every year. It is first time a small leak is found.  Maybe, we could try high vacuum resin spray first.
6. Dump module flange o-ring at the side by Target module. Leak rate 8XE-9 atm.cc/sec. It cannot be confirmed since the TM o-ring is just beside it. Mostly, the leak is on dump module side. We changed TM flange o-ring every year. But we never changed dump module flange o-ring in history. Many copper cooling lines above the dump module has to be removed to remove the dump module out. I do not think we have time to do it this year. Also,  the leak rate is pretty small. Maybe, we can schedule it next year.

  Most these small leaks are close to turbopumps. This could be the reason the ITW vacuum on gauges are still pretty good.
