Yesterday TM#4 with UCx#5 was moved to the east target station from the conditioning station,  move went well.

TM4 heat shield helium pressure test and electrical check were done  at CS  last week. The results are good. NO leak had been found on heat shield circuit.The electrical check is also good.

TM4 was remote moved from the SCH to the TCS today. This was the first time the module was moved with the framework for the cage in place. The ion gauge on the service cap is closer to the cage than anticipated and as a result the pins for the gauge were sheared off. Discussion as to how to repair the gauge (both short term and long term needs to be had). We will try and rough down the TM tonight, it is not believed the vacuum will be affected.

NiO#1 was removed this morning.

UCx#5 was inserted into the hot cell around 1 pm, installed and leak checked and ready to go to the conditioning station 1:40pm

did have a little trouble with the 9 pin connector. It had to be lossened to get it to mate properly. It was le-tightened once the proper fit was achieved.

 TM4 with NiO#1 was moved from ITE to the SHC today. The move went well with no issues.

I disconnected TM4 in ITE this morning. The heat shield circuit has been purged with air.

Grant and I replaced the conditioning station broken  srcoll pump with a refurbished scroll pump which is supplied by vacuum group. The replaced pump is bagged and waiting for RPG further survey in target hall . The target hall is survey after the job, and everything is fine.

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

ITE MSP water circuit flow wheel was replaced yesterday due to poor performance.

TM 1 is in ITW now. All connections are done. The turbo pumps had been started this afternoon. The vacuum looks good so far. The water interlock check which related to TM1 are done. They are good. All TM1 water signals are visually checked and they are strong.  The rest interlock check ( MCR XT page) will be finished before shielding blocks moving. The MAA is locked and ITE is ready for proton beam.        

TM#1 with Nb#7 moved from the conditioning station to the west target station. Move went well.

Leak detector pumped down to base LR1.3xE-9 atm.cc/sec, and BP 8xE-3 torr. All high vacuum gauge readings at CS and TM1 are at low -6 range from 1.2xE-6torr to 4.6x E-6 torr. Applied 80 psi helium  to heat shield circuit for 5minutes and there is no any response on leak detector. The heat shield circuit is leak tight.

Electrical check was done at the conditioning station this morning results are on the attached PDF.

TM#1 with Nb#7 was moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station. Move went well.

TM#1 with Nb#7 attached was electrically checked at the south hot cell yesterday, see attached pdf for details. Some notes about this test the oven to the 60kV common is 2Mohm this was noticed on the target prior to installation on the module, and the 60kV common to chassis is low at 874Mohm (low as in a non infinite value).

Nb #7 was installed and tested today.

Inside face of the containment box cover was cleaned with methanol and a baseline picture taken in an effort to track deposits and marking as requested bty Anders.

Chad and i did a leak check on TM1 heat shield circuit with new Nb#7 target installed. It took about 5 mins pump down the circuit to leak rate 0.0x E-9atm.cc/sec and 0.0x E-4 torr on 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 45sec 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 45minute 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 TM1 is in CS and under vacuum.

TM#1 moved from the south west silo to the south hot cell, move went well.

UCx#4 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. The target was placed in pail #99 and now resides in spot 3C of the vault. It measured 55.3mSv/hr at ~1m from the hot cell. See attached PDF for further spent target vault details.
