Move of TM#1 with the TaC#1 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the west target station.

The spent UCx #2 target has been moved into storage. It was placed in tray 5A and is in Pail #91, it was 8.91mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell. There are 5 free slots left in the storage vault.

TM#4 with SiC#26 HP has been checked electrically it has passed. It was noted that the Megger check of the Oven to Chassis (earth ground) and Oven to 60kV Common is low but will not hinder running, according to Don Jackson.  Also yesterday the transition piece that sits on the 55 pin connector was damaged from excessive handling, it was removed and repaired and it now back in place.

For the week of November 7th 2011, four of a possible ten targets that are in storage were assayed. Targets are as follows:

Target             General average field @ 1 metre from edge of pail

SiC#24           1.99 mSv/hr

Nb#4               3.89 mSv/hr

Ta#25              4.57 mSv/hr

Ta#37              0.47 mSv/hr

These four are all viable spent targets to be shipped. We still need another couple of days of "UNINTERRUPTED" time to assay the remaining six targets, for us to have enough to make a ship of five to Chalk River.

Electrical checks of TM#1 with UCx#3 have been completed. They all appear to be with in operational range. All megger checks were done at 500 volts. See attached file for details.

Spent target assay completed. A total of 16 target were looked at, 13 were low enough to be assayed and those 13 are at shippable levels, the other 3 of the 16 looked at were too hot to ship and assay. See attached pdf for complete details.

Well the first of this year's lucky winners to win a fabulous one way trip to Chalk River are as follows. UC#1, UC#2, Ta#25, Ta#26, and Ta#37. First these lucky winners will get to stay several days and night in the lovely all inclusive mini vault before being loaded in to their very own private F-308 flasks to be whisked away off to fabulous Chalk River.

Looks like the UC target s #1 and #2 were found invalidprize winners for their all inclusive trip to Chalk River and have thus been placed back in to storage for the next draw. In their place a pair of lucky Ta targets won, seems to be Ta lucky draw this year, Ta#28 and #29 have been placed in the mini storage for several fabulous day and wondrous nights, before being whisked away on their all inclusive one way trip to Chalk River. See attachments for the status of both vaults.

All targets in the mini storage have been moved to F-308s and those flasks have been moved over to rad waste. The transfer of target occurred on January 10th and the flasks were moved to rad waste on January 11th.  Contamination was found on the bottoms of some of the pails and was removed, some of the contamination was difficult but not impossible to remove from the pail bottoms.
