On Tuesday morning I attempted to complete assembly of the source tray for TM2 however discovered that 3 1/4-20 x 0.25 titanium helicoils had not been installed into the mounting plate as they should have been. Checked and asked around for them but to no avail. I have ordered some, they should have been here yesterday.

Also, I have noticed that the threaded portion of the target pins ITA0328A appear to be too long and as such may be (are indeed) touching the supports. I am going to remove 1/32" or appropriate to remedy this problem (drawing shows 0.035 clearance).

Missing heli coils installed this morning.

Threads had to be chased with tap for 1/4-20 heli coil and missing countersinks hand applied to allow for installation. Care was taken to ensure no "swarf" was spread and operation was super clean. Chased holes blown out with canned air and a vacuum placed on the other side.

Final assembly can and will now continue.

Master target jig installed to locate attachment bracket ITA3389 as well as conductor insulator block b (aluminum / for soldering version) and oven conductor blocks (ITD0353 and 03356). 

There were NO ITA6145 fasteners or TGN0076 either. Standard 1/4-20 x 1" fasteners have been used in there place for now. Keith is following up with getting the missing fasteners into the shop.

Oven conductor blocks will have to be lapped before lines are attached as they both have dents on the high current mating surfaces.

The new gas bottle storage rack has been installed by/for the south hot cell.

See attached report.

Summary:

Radio problems just before entry to cell. Inspection afterwards revealed batteries charge but battery in one radio shorts out after a couple loads/cycles.

Fields in hot cell range from 630 uSv/h @ 1 m to 1.5mSv/h @ 1m. Contributing to the fields is the febiad coil line removed from TM4 in the south west corner of the hot cell.

Contamination/particulate on table as mostly black colored and of a fairly substantial size, but seamingly easy to collect. Distinquishable pieces of target material present.

Hot cell window show no sign of leaking on the inside of cell.

Pre-filter changed.

Manipulators lubricated.

Hot cell entry procedures appear to still be fairly successful in minimizing contamination migration from the hot cell.

Box for dissecting targets almost complete. Should be done tomorrow.

3 swipes of the south hot cell table were taken from the target hall through the roof hatch (2 standard, 1 alpha).

Initial results of the table swipes are pending however swipes of the pool tool and end effector are clean, 0 counts, booties, gloves clean.

Fall arrest equipment has a puzzling 6000 counts, and suit 500 counts.

ThO#1 has been removed from TM1 and placed into the plastic dissection box.

Containment box cover has been reinstalled as per usual.

TM#1 has been moved from the west station to the south hot cell had the ThO#1 target removed and then the modules was moved from the south hot cell to the south west silo. Also an electrical check was done on the target before it was removed.

TM#2 with no target and no source tray has been moved from the conditioning station to the north east silo.

Chad, Anders and Alex inspected the target this morning. The target had no significant visible damage to the container. Some material was deposited on the Extraction Electrode.

Final assembly and alignment of TM2 optics tray continued today. Front section is "aligned".

Ta#45 has been inserted into the hot cell. Swipe taken of inner tool port area: 100000 counts/min.

Ta#45 has been installed onto TM4 and is ready for leak and electrical check. High current fasteners torqued to 130 in.lbs.

TM#4 electrical checks with and without the target installed, installed target is Ta#45.

TM2 optics tray build is continuing. Going well. Hope to have assembly and alignment finished by Friday.

Chad and I leak checked TM4 HS water line with new Ta#45 target installed at SHC. Leak detector base leak rate 0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0Xe-4 torr. Chad sprayed helium twice on each of HS 2 VCR joints.No leak has been found. The joints are leak tight. The helium pressure test  will be done at CS later.

TM2 optics tray is complete.

Master alignment tray: 0 up/down, 0 left/right

Optics tray: Front 0 up/down, 0 left/right. Middle 0 up/down, 0 left/right. Back 0 up/down, 0 left right.

TM#1 with no target has been moved from the south west silo to the south hot cell for the installation of the UCx target.

Electrical check of TM#1 with UCx#12 attached. See attached PDF for details.
