Turbos started at 11:14. TP1S achieved full speed in less than 2 minutes. TP1 and 2 tripped at 9 minutes. Restarted and reached at speed after another 1 minute 20 seconds.

 The turbo pumps have been started on TM2 and the conditioning station.

Five of used  internal leaked  TP BVs are serviced and repaired. Internal plunge  o-ring and case o-ring are replaced on all five BVs. Leak checked valves after  . They are ok to be used as spare parts.  The are active parts stored in TH now.

 David replaced the broken turbo pump this morning and I have started roughing at 9:54.

 The turbo pumps have been turned on and are running

 The Turbo pumps are now running on TCS

 Both Turbo Pumps are now operational.

 Turbo pumps 1 and 2 both found randomly off, have been restarted

The turbo pumps are on. TP1 and TP2 once again timed out and had to be restarted before they would stay on.

 Both Turbo pumps on TM3 have failed. They were both attempted to start in soft mode. TP2 could only achieve ~19kpm and TP1 ~10kpm. I have turned off the scroll pump and vented through the turbo pumps.

 Turbo Pump 2 has been replaced on TM3. I got a count of 350 on the sleeve of my tank suit.

Roughing on TM1 started at ~15:00 today by ~16:30 the module had reached a pressure of ~200 mTorr and the turbo pumps were turned on. TP1 failed to achieve normal operation and we running at approximately 4KRPM and 50W with 6.1 A of current draw. TP2 was able to achieve normal operation. The controller for TP1 was then powered off and back on but that failed to resolve the issue. The controllers for TP1 & 2 were then switched at which point TP1 again failed normal operation and TP2 achieved it, thus eliminating the controller as the issue. The turbo pumps have been turned off and the roughing pump left on for overnight in case Vacuum group wishes to do any additional diagnosis. 

 Over the weekend Turbo pump one failed. It was attempted to restart the turbo in soft start but that also failed. Although the Vacuum was good enough to operate both Turbos are required to pass commissioning. As such the pumps were turned off at ~10:00 today. Venting started at 12:00.

 Turbo Pumps have been started and are in normal operation. TP1 which has recently been replaced was started in soft start and had no issues. TP2 was started normally and tripped prior to reaching speed. It was left for a while and restarted. When restarted it was still at 17KRPM, it reached normal operation.

Base Pressure: 0.0x10-4

Stable Leak Rate: 0.0x10-9

Leak check of tube heater circuit, containment box side was performed.

Initail check at tube heater block on source tray yeilded a response 60 sec after the 2 second spray of helium. The response was very small and recovered immediately.

This area was checked twice more but the reponse could not be recreated.

Joint at the waterblocks was tested with an intial 2 sec spray. No response after 60 sec.

Waterblock joint was tested again with a 4 second spray. No response after 60 sec.

TCS:IG1S is reporting vacuum levels that seem to be too low (1E-10 to 1E-8 Torr). The gauge was connected to the controller for IG1, which showed the same value. A degas was performed for ~5 min.

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.

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.

A parasite target has been transferred from SHC to NHC. It is a job to reduce SHC field for coming SHC entry job. The transfer is successful.
