Entered the hot cell to perform final decon on the window. Initial swipes this morning were 11000 c.p.m. on 44-2. After decon approximately 100 counts.

West entrance module - visible broken or disconnected wire visible on old/existing wire scanner. Wire scanner removed, new one installed.

The West Entrance Module has been moved to the South Hot Cell for repair.

The West Entrance Module has been moved from the South Hot Cell to the West Target Station.

The west 'Z' motion cable on the east manipulator has successfully been replaced. The job took slightly less than an hour (including inspection of the scissor table hoses) and I received 0.075mSv. Scissor table hoses appear to be fine and also didn't "shed" or flake at all when checked by hand.

 The water pumps for the conditioning station were turned on at ~11:45. It took longer to start the conditioning station as the air from the leak test had to be bled off and the make up water tank refilled. The valves on the water supply line were closed slightly to make up for the fact the water cooled power supply has been removed. DIF2 was installed by Maico so we can measure the flow in the primary side.

Yesterday a leak was discovered in the ISAC-I experimental hall. The leak appears to be at the connection between the evaporator and the return water line. 1 in of water was lost from TCS:TK1. The water is currently valved off to prevent further leakage.

A fault reportt has been submitted to mechanical services - awaiting response.

Leak repaired by Mechanical Services. A brass fitting had cracked and was replaced with a galvanized fitting.

Tank level down from 76 to 55 in on TK1

Valve replaced by Curtis today

The level dropped below 15 in over the weekend. MP2 stopped, but MP3 condtinued pumping.

 e-fault submitted and Niel Wong has been contacted.

Niel Wong came and had a look at the system. We decided to close the circuit as the water is no longer used with the new power supplies. The circuit will be monitored, but not repaired unless it is needed again.

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.

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

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.

The source tray side of the water block jig has been removed in preparation for moving the module to the  conditioning station for electrical tests.

The back half of the water block jig (services tray side) has been sucessfully located onto the module.

About 50% of the waterblocks have centered themselfs it their respective cups and the rest look good for concentricity but will require some gentle wiggling to get them to seat.

the warm cell mock-up has been inserted into the warm cell and final preparation for the remote test are being made.

I visually inspected HALCW system including water station section, both target pits, and de-ionizer system.  No small leak and drip was found .  The inspection in both target pits will be repeated after flow sensors are replaced.

A rotary limit switch was installed, attached to the shaft adjacent to the drive motor for the vertical drive system. This limit switch is not yet wired to the control system and operational - this will be done at a future date and the e-log will be updated.

 TM1 started venting at 4:15 pm with Argon. I will leave the valve open over night.
