Chad and i did a leak check on TM4 heat shield circuit with new NiO#1 target installed. It took about 40 mins(much longer than usual) to pump down the circuit to leak rate 0.6x E-9atm.cc/sec and 0.0x E-4 torr o leak detector.

All vacuum lines and joints which connected to the leak detector had been helium sprayed and they are leak  tight.Chad sprayed helium on each VCR joints for 2 seconds every time. During 1min waiting time, there is no any response on leak detector. Chad repeated same test again for double checking and we got same result. Chad finally flushed the helium around the target heat shield for 10 seconds.we waited for 1minute and found no response on the leak detector. The heat shield circuit is leak tight at this stage. I will do a helium pressure test on this circuit when TM4 is in CS and under vacuum.

TM#4 with UO#3 has been moved from the east target station to the south hot cell for a target exchange. The move went well.

Entered south hot cell Wednesday and replaced the pre-filter air filter as well as the front two light bulbs. Also removed two bags of compressible garbage, one bag of metal, and of course the bagged air filter (as Joe M. expressed as interest in havung it).

Inital checks found approximately 4000 cpm on the cell side of the temporary Al. panel used during the cell entry, 2000 cpm on the tacky mats layed out beside the work area but nothing on the floor under the plastic that had been layed down for the job.

I disconnected TM 4 in ITE on AUG 29th morning.The vacuum lines stay untouched and they will be disconnected on SEP 04th.

Prob guys replaced broken air lines on ITW HARP 5B Cylinder.Several shielding blocks had been moved out to make the cylinder accessible. After the replacement,the HARP5B works fine.All shield blocks had been moved back to original position. The job is done.

I moved 5 shielding blocks from ITE  to ITW.ITW is configured to take proton beam now.

Connected TM1 in ITW,started 6 turbo pumps, and finished TM1 water interlock check . Every thing is good so far.

TM#1 with UCx#4 moved from the conditioning to the west target station move went well.

TM#1 with UCx#4 has been moved from the conditioning station to the west target station move went well.

 I replaced ITW TP4S today as we scheduled. The working area is swiped and air sampled .Everything is fine.

The Series # of the old pump is 200927, and the new one is 600080. The E-fault 6081 which is related to the job will be closed.

Ta#38 was moved from the south Hot Cell to the Spent Target Vault. Target is in pail #97, and was placed into tray 6 slot B of the vault. Field around the pail upon removal from the Hot Cell were 226mSv/hr at about 1/2 metre. See attached PDF for vault details.

Connected leak detector to TM1 and CS vacuum system. The vacuum readings on TM1 and CS:PNG4 3.6 xE-6 Torr, IG1 1.1xE-6torr, IG4(diagnostic box) 3.4xE-6 Torr. Leak detector base pressure:0.0xE-4 torr, base leak rate: 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. Applied 80 psi helium to heat shield circuit for 4 mins . There is no response on leak detector. The heat shield circuit is leak tight.

TM#1 with UCx#4 electrical check done at the conditioning station under vacuum, see attached sheet for results.

TM#1 with UCx#4 has been moved from the south  hot hell to the conditioning station. No problems with the move.

Chad and i did a leak check on TM1heat shield with UCx target on.The circuit are pumped  down to the bottom leak rate and base pressure is 3xE-3 torr on the leak detector. There are two VCR caps on heat shield circuit. Chad sprayed helium on both of them   ( tested individually,2 seconds every time ) . The test repeated 1 time.There is no response on leak detector during 45 seconds waiting time on both time.Chad flushed helium around the target for 15 second. During 1 minutes waiting time , there is no response on leak detector.The heat shield circuit is leak tight at this stage. It will be helium pressure  in CS later.

Starting at 11:00 am and finishing at 12:10 Ucx#4 previous target was removed and UCx#4 installed and leak checked on TM1.

During module move to the hot cell UCx#4 was housed in a bag under argon.

TM#1 with Ta#38 has been moved from the west target station to the south hot cell, no problems with the move.

I disconnected TM1 in ITW.  Heat shield line has been purged .

  All water interlock checks for ITE had been done. The ITE water signals strength and frequency(Espcially on MSP circuit) had been checked from electrical room, and everything is good.

Today (Wednesday July 18th) at around 4:15 pm I was taking a small tour group from VECC into the Target Hall. In the process of discussing the mechanical design of the Target Modules and South Hot Cell turntable I inadvertently lifted the Aluminum Hatch Cover of the Hot Cell about 2 inches in an effort to explain something. This tripped the ventilation alarm before I realized what I was doing. I evacuated the visitors from the Target Hall, checked booties and gloves at the check station before having the visitors step over the boot box. I called operations and let them know what I had done. The Target Hall was locked out and is awaiting a survey for the morning of July 19th before work can proceed.
