  2734   Thursday, December 05, 2024, 12:00 Adam NewsomeSpent Target VaultStandard Operation Ta#68Spent target move - Ta#68 in Pail 300

Ta#68 spent target was moved in Pail 300 to storage vault location 5A. The dose rate measured at the South Hot Cell was 429 mSv/h at 1m. The target index spreadsheet has been updated and the current vault configuration is attached to this e-log. At this time, the storage vault is getting quite full - it is planned to remove five pails in January 2025.

Five pails were transferred from main vault to mini vault. Note that there was already one pail in the mini vault, so at present there are six pails staged for packaging into F-308s.

An informal inspection of the main Pail Handling Tool was performed today as the final one for the year. Note that the main formal annual inspection was performed June 18, 2024 for this year.

The attachment to this e-log serves as a record of all inspections for this tool throughout 2024.

The spare tool was not inspected as it was not in service this year.

A safety walkaround was completed for the ISAC Hot Cells and Target Hall Areas.

The resulting spreadsheet can be found on DocuShare as Document-242733.

Main deficiencies identified:

  • Hot Cells:
    • NHC right manipulator gripper stuck (known, repair planned)
  • Target Hall:
    • 50% of overhead light bulbs burnt out (David Wang contacted Electrical Services to rectify)
    • One RH camera for target pit not working (Travis Cave notified)

Action has been taken on all deficiencies.

  2751   Monday, January 20, 2025, 11:33 Adam NewsomeWaste Package/ShipStandard Operation   F-308 flask loading - six flasks loaded

Today (2025-01-20), six flasks were loaded in preparation for shipment with the following targets: C#4, TiC#5, Ta#64,Ta#62, Nb#10, SiC#44

Some of the pails (256, 273, 279, 277) required replacement of the wire rope cable with new style, 30 ft length, as requested by CNL. A lifting label was also applied to these pails. Some of the pails (295, 298) already had the appropriate cable and lifter label.

 

At the time of writing this log:

  • The second crimped lifting loop has not yet been applied to each pail.
  • The locks have not yet been applied to the flasks.

 

The mini-storage vault is now EMPTY. The mini-storage vault has been swiped and checked for contamination.

The target index spreadsheet has been updated (attached).

October 7, 2024 - Aaron Tam 

Ta#68 HP-SIS checks performed at B1 lab, moved to anteroom, and inserted into SHC via tool port w/ Aaron Schmidt. 

Ta#68 fixed to source tray with 4 mounting bolts in order of: Right manip. holding, Top left, Right manip. removed, Bottom right, Top right, bottom left. w/ Aaron Schmidt and Brady Borrmann

  • Motion was smooth, no resistance when positioning onto pins

VCR fittings done up with ample force, leak check passed

Conductor bolts installed in order of: 2 Target electrode conductors (Checked washers), 3 target Inner and outer conductors.

All bolts checked for full contact with mirror and binos. 

Electrical check failed: Dead short (look for David's ELOG for more detail when available) 

Troubleshooting while David is checking resistance: w/ Ferran

  • Intermittent success with heavy manipulation of water lines
    • Loosening off Waterline bracket-to-source-tray 
    • Loosening off Bracket to water line bolts 5/32 hex's 
    • Rotating bracket towards operator (effectively raising waterlines in the back upwards) seems to yield more intermittent success, but never passing megger @ 250V 
    • Tube was inadvertently dented when handling the tube in a wrenching motion with manip tong. counterclockwise
  • Target removed while David is still on the multimeter (calling for any sign of success)
    • Starting to remove Target in order of: Tightening back waterline-to-bracket 5/32 hex screws, loosening off waterline bracket, loosening off VCR nuts, 2 Target electrode conductor bolts, 3 Target inner and outer conductor bolts, Fixing bolts Top left (dropped below source tray), Bottom right...
      • (At this time David called with some success with electrical check)
    • Reversing course to verify fault has passed, target was reassembled, only finger loose on the VCR nuts.
    • Faults no longer present
    • Target removed
      •  As target was being pulled off source tray locating pins, a piece of ceramic fell onto the source tray just behind window waterlines.

Target taken out of Hotcell by Ferran. New VCR gaskets installed. Target reinserted 

Target installed no issues. Used fixing bolt used to replace dropped one. 

Leak check passed, Electrical check passed

  • Notably don't have a photo of reinstalled target or source tray before 2nd install attempt. 

Containment cover reinstalled 

Ceramic piece moved into Pail #285 (suspect this is a very hot piece)

 Post Irradiation Examination

October 9, 2024 - Aaron Tam w/ Chad Fisher, Aurelia Laxdal, and Lucas Backes 

PIE conducted by Chad with direction from Aurelia. Aaron and Lucas observing/documenting 

Goal: Thin foil target material is somewhat novel, and we should characterize the differences if there are any. 

Photos of the pre-examined target can be seen on ELOG 2697  on Tuesday October 1, 2024, when the target was removed from TM2

Notes:

  • Right most inner/outer target conductor bolts was sitting proud and had threads showing, photo attached
  • Some Black deposit was found on the inside of the heatshield directly below the extraction tube, and loose in powder form inside the heatshield. 
  • Target tube seems to have more of a crystalline texture than previous examinations.
  • When Target tube was being removed, one of the target electrode conductors broke off
  • some dimple texture was found on the target tube windows and this was further explored by prying a channel through the length of one side of the tube to get a better look

Target pieces were placed loosely back within the heatshield, and the lid loosely placed back on.

Awaiting pail loading, and move to storage vault

November 6, 2024 - Aaron Tam 

UCx#46 Target handover from TPO 

Target insertion: successful 

Parasitic Install: All Parasitic targets left off target

  • Left side In-beam array type parasitic install attempt #1 
    • Parasitic assembly is too thin/studs too tall for the socket nut to fasten onto target. Stud protrudes through the length of socket section, not allowing tool to insert 
    • previously a 3/4 spacer was used to give space for thermal couple to enter 
    • Install of 3/4 spacer was difficult because it does not hold its shape when handled (pivots around 1/2 ad 1/4 portions) 
    • With spacer installed, parasitic assembly is too thick for socket nuts to fasten onto studs. 
      • It may have been possible to back out studs to use, but left off in the interest of time UCx is exposed. 
  • Right side In-beam window type parasitic install
    • Similarly to Left side, studs were too short for install, studs could be backed out, but was left off in the interest of time UCx exposed
  • PEEK seal parasitic targets were left off as per schedule, and will be leak checked at another date (after tong cable has been repaired) 
    • Order of PEEK seal locations preserved and follows order as seen with target installed (Photo attached)

Target install: successful 

Leak Check: Successful 

Electrical Check: Successful 

  • Initially failed due to wiring diagram being different between production wiring diagram and electrical test sheet

Containment box panel closed
