I have installed the module side water block jig.

The source tray has been removed from TM2.

module side water block jig has been removed in preparation for electrical checks.

The containment box has been reinstalled onto TM2 in prepatation for testing in the conditioning station.

TM4 optics tray was installed onto the old TM2 source tray yesterday and tray filled with non-active metal scrap. Tray inserted into transfer frame 95% yesterday. During insertion the ball nut of the transfer jig became unfastened from its drive plate. This will have to be fixed before the jig can be used reliably again however we were able to finish the job...the transfer jig is 20 years old now so it is not entirely suprising that it needs some attention.

Today the Tm2 tray final install into the transport tray occurred by driving the tray drive screw and bringing the tray into the transfer frame the last inch 1/2 or so. "Feet" (ITA2380) had to be removed from sliding tray assembly to fit in the box however upon attempting this is was immediately clear that one of the screws was stuck and must have been cross threaded during assembly. As as result the entire drive bracket (ITA2375) had to be removed form the source tray to allow final insertion into the box.

11 handles from spent target transfers, 1 plastic bin box, Ta LP test target TRI coil, 1 aluminum box, sockets and extensions from spent target transfers and 5 obsolete legs from previous source tray replacements were amoung the items disposed of with the spent source tray.

Transfer fixture has been remotely disassembled to the point where the ball nut lock plate assembly can be inserted into the tool port and the plate replaced by hand in the tool port without having to enter the hot cell. Straight head screws will be replaced with SHCS to facilitate easier re-assembly and future disassembly.

Repair of the tray transfer fixture is complete (minus testing).

A distorted ball nut lock plate was replaced and thread loc added. to the ball nut/plate assembly. Testing will take place tomorrow once the thread lock has a chance to cure.

The containment box has been removed from TM2 and the water block jig installed in preparation for water block polishing.

Pictures of the water blocks before polishing can be found on docushare, collection 24400

Polishing of the water block sealing surfaces has commenced. First attempt was on block B with low nap brown polishing pad (the least aggressive pad prepared) and isopropyl for 30 seconds. This cleaned a little but did not remove the "ring" which I believe is water scale. I will step up to 2000 grit wet sand paper and iso next.

After trials with 2000 grid wet paper I have moved up to "red" scotch brite. This seems to have worked the best so far although it took two minutes to remove the ring that the other materials could not remove (see picture).

I have moved to next circuit. Currently at 3 minutes and 30 seconds with scotch brite but significant ring remains.

Stage 1 polishing (water scale and at least 99% of visual indium removed) has been achieved on all 2 seal water blocks that will be used (Ground electrode has not been polished). Process required 3-4 3minute cycles of the tool using scotch brite pads with the tool running at approximately 75 psi.

Stage 1 polish has been achieved on all single seal water blocks using the single pad tool run at 75 psi, 2 3 minute cycles per block using red scotch brite.

Phase 2 (intermediate) and Phase 3 (Final) polishing is complete on all water blocks on TM2 (minus ground electrode circuit which has only had a cursory cleaning). Phase 2 with 2000 grit wet sand paper and isopropynol for 1 minute with tool at 75 psi, Phase 3 with Veltex polishing cloth for 1 minute with tool at 75 psi.

This morning new water block fasteners and gas line capture nut fasteners were inserted into the hot cell. Window waterline blank off was removed from TM2, surfaces inspected and given a polish with Veltex (30 seconds, 70 psi) as there was a small bit of c seal residue. Transfer try with new source tray has been latched to the module.

• Drop test performed January 8, 2019 with 25 lb target, UN pail and lug cover. Drop failed. Lug cover half removed. Pictures and video in docushare collection 24626.
• Second test January8, 2019 UN pail, "new" dish cover, old lock lever ring, 25 lb target. Single drop from 1.2m onto latch, no sealant. No leaks 24 hours later. Pictures in docushare collection 24626

• Drop test performed April 2, 2019 repeat of previous test using until that was loaded in north hot cell test. Target punctured can. Pictures in docushare collection 24626.

• Drop test performed April 5, 2019 repeat of previous test with the addition of a aluminum sleeve (0.05" thick) inside the pail between pail and target.

New UN rated pail with 9.55 kg target, 1.2 kg 16 gauge Al sleeve (10.75 OD x 14.75" tall), 3 liters of water with red food coloring no sealant on gasket.

First drop standard drop test from 1.2m onto latch

Second drop test 1.2m onto bottom of pail

Third drop 1.2m onto side of pail

Drops 4-6 1.2m onto lid

Pail was left inverted for an hour after the first three drops with no leaks after 1 hour.

No leaks after the remaining 3 drops .Bottom very damaged suggesting need for protective disc in bottom of pail.

• Drop tests performed May 2, 2019 with 9.7 kg target, 1.346 kg of mixed module and target components, sleeve and disc. First drop on latch from 1.2m, no leak, second drop straight on bottom from 1.2m, no leak, third drop on side from 1.2m leak. Drop test described in more detail in document drop test witness document on docushare. Pictures and video in docushare collection 24626.

Pail transfer was undertaken in the south hot cell. went very well except near the end the master tong cable of the right hand manipulator broke. Not entirely a surprise due to the amount of use it has seen lately.

Broken handle cable of east manipulator has been replaced and manipulator is operational again.

Two pail transfers took place April 25th.

Ta#47 transfered from pail 137 to pail 201. existing plastic bag from 137 showed many areas of typical age/rad damage related failure.

Ta#45 in pail 124 was transfered to pail 202. Pail 124 also contained the shutter and "roof mounted" img gauge from TM2 that were removed in 2015 in addition to a bunch of fasteners, heat shrink tubing (from lock lever rings from an previous methods of spent target packaging) etc. The original plastic bag in pail 124 had completely failed and shredded and flaky. The shutter and extraction electrode from Ta#47 were put in pail 202 with Ta#45...cabling of the shutter being completely intertwined with the target.

UC#26 has been removed from TM4.
