Chad disassembled the right operator side manipulator, and noticed that gears in the handle were quite tight especially when compared to the left operator side manipulator. 

Once a dry grease was added, and the handle reassembled all seemed to be in working order.

There was noticeable wear on a shaft and Chad has suggested to order some spare parts for the wrist and handle. 

 The spent target UC#38 was packed into pail #274 and placed in spot 1A of the vault. It was 33.3mSv/hr when removed from the north hot cell. See attached PDF for more vault details.

The motor cable for the storage vault was replaced as the old one was showing signs of wear. The U-track that the old cable ran through was also bent as a result of being hit.

In the process of replacing the cable, an e-chain was installed for cable management purposes. Mounting brackets were modified and a new U-track was installed as well. The new hardware is more robust than what was previously installed.

The vault door was opened and closed multiple times while observing the e-chain - everything behaved as expected. The system is operational.

Solidworks model IRH0189 is updated to show the changes

 TM2 with UCx#39 is connected in ITW.

TM2 with UCX#39 HS line helium pressure test is done at TCS. 70 psi helium 3minutes. No leak @0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec.

 An electrical check was done on NHC yesterday.

 An electrical was done on the NHC for TM2 with spent Target UCx#38 on

 TM2 with Target UCx38 was disconnected in ITW and moved to NHC

ITE:ANODE supply reading strange currents - 17mA with the power supply on and no voltage. Checked anode circuit from electrical room:

Anode wire in electrical room shows 0L at 250V

Circuit with 50kOhm resistor mostly looks good (49-52kOhms) but a couple times read 28kOhms, no idea why. Tried jiggling all cables, unplugging and replugging and everything looks fine.

But power supply still seems to be giving out signal for 17mA readback. Decided fastest to swap with TCS power supply and troubleshoot this one on the bench.

TM4 with SiC#44 installed developed a short TBHT to HV common during its first heating in ITE. Was fine before installation. Now with everything cold TBHT to HVC is 25kOhms. Removed short in electrical room, will rely on short in the module.

 TM4 with target SiC#44 was connected in ITE on Tuesday.

 The spent Ta#64 target in the north hot cell has been packaged and placed in the spent target vault. Pail#273 spot #5C 86.6mSv/hr upon removal from the north hot cell. For detail on the vault see attached PDF.

HS line helium pressure test is done at TCS. No leak. I also leak checked gasline adapter and fittings on TM4 top. No leak.  1/4 copper gas line between module and ITE was leak checked yesterday. It is good.

 TM4 with Sic#44 installed and had an electrical / leak check at NHC. 

 An electrical check made at NHC right after TM4 moving from ITE.

 TM4 with Ta#64 has been disconnected in ITE.

UCx#38 developed a short between the plasma electrode and the extraction electrode about 30mins after reaching full temperature in the conditioning station. The decision was made to bring it into the anteroom and try to clean it there.

To do this, it was uninstalled, the parasitic attachments were removed and it was brought into the ante room.

I removed the EE and the PE, and cleaned quite a lot of material from them both with methanol. I think put the ionizer foil bar down the ionizer to help dislodge any material there, and I also turned the target over and tapped gently to get any material out. The first two times some flakes came out, the third time nothing came out. I then reinstalled the electrodes using the EE alignment tool (not sure how successfully, didn't push it into the ionizer too much because I was worried about catching the Rh foil).

The taret was meggered at 500V then reinstalled and electrical checks were done. Everything looks back to normal. Conditioning in ITW was successful.

 The spent target SiC#43 was moved from the north hot cell in pail #272 and place in 5A of the spent target vault. See attached PDF for details.

 TM2 with Target UCx#38 was connected in ITW.

 A standard electrical check was done for TM2 after the short issue be fixed.
