 Thursday, August 22, 2013, 19:38, Grant Minor, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , TM3 Rev 3 source tray - water blocks connected and torqued 6x
|
After a great struggle with the water block jigs, the TM3 source tray was finally advanced fully into the service tray and all water blocks were connected
and torqued to spec in the hot cell by Chad Fisher.
Notes and description of problems encountered during the installation: |

Friday, August 23, 2013, 18:32, Grant Minor, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , TM3 Rev 3 - steerer wire broken from connector on module side
|
While continuing on the TM3 Rev 3 source tray installation, Chad noticed today that one of the steerer wires is broken and has come out of the thermocouple-style
connecter block (see attached photos).
From drawing ITA2826 (Rev D02 attached) it is likely that this is for either the "upper" or "right side" steerer plate. |
|
Monday, August 26, 2013, 18:22, Grant Minor, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , TM3 Rev 3 - all connetions made except steerers, IMG, and entrance window 8x
|
Today Chad finished making all connections to the new source tray, except for:
- steerers - broken wire, must be repaired at a later date
- IMG gauge - bracket required, old bracket thrown out with previous tray by accident, see ITA3301, must be installed at a later date |

Monday, August 26, 2013, 18:26, Grant Minor, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM3, , TM3 moved from Hot Cell to Conditioning Station
|
Target Module 3 with no target, and a partially-installed Rev-3 source tray (no steerers connected, no IMG connected, entrance window lines blanked off
on module side and not connected to containment box) was transported successfully to the Conditioning Station by Travis Cave and David Wang at around 4pm
today. David attached the vacuum system for start of pump-down to prepare for leak checking. |

|
David Wang started a helium leak check on TM3 at the CS this morning.
David will create an e-log once his check is complete, but here are the preliminary results:
- target oven +/- OK |

Wednesday, August 28, 2013, 14:25, Travis Cave, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM3, no target, module move
|
TM#3 with no target has been moved from the conditioning station to the south hot cell. The fields observed around the containment box of the module
ranged from 0.80 mSv/hr to 1.8mSv/hr.. |

|
A huge leak had been found on HS circuit during 60 psi helium pressurize test. Other circuits are free of obvious major leak at present .We will test
them again once the TM3 is back to CS. See attachment for details |

Thursday, August 29, 2013, 09:08, chad fisher, South Hot-Cell, Repair, TM3, , Heat Shield Circuit Leak
|
The heat shield circuit was pressurized with air (15-20 psi) and snoop applied to the water block joint and brazes. Bubbles formed at the joint between
the two water blocks indicating that the leak is a c seal problem. Pictures attached but also on docushare Collection-11285. |

Today Chad entered the south hot cell on work permit 2013-08-29-3 to repair the leaking heat shield line. The heat shield line was removed from
the module and the surfaces cleaned. New C seals and spring were inserted and the line re-attached. During this time Chad also installed the new vacuum
gauge. Grant took video of this work and Keith some pictures. The video and pictures can be found on the M: drive (groups) in the RH folder. The total |

September 3rd
David Wang and myself lowered the leak testing cart into the Ante room and prepared the ante-room for the leak testing of TM3s line. David and
Grant then entered the anteroom and inspected the old c-seal and leak tested the the heat shield line. The line pumped down to the lower limits of the |

Today Maico measured the thickness of three indium-plated inconel c-seals, presumably Ultra-Seal P/N 50606. These seals had NOT been in the Hot
Cell.

|
Yesterday, Grant entered the Ante Room with David Wang to visually inspect the two sets of failed c-seals from the Heat Shield circuit, to remove the
second set from the Heat Shield water blocks, and to leak check the heat shield circuit with o-rings and a water-block-to-leak-detector fitting.
Some photos of the inspected seals are in the attached design review presentation. Some unusual marks were observed on both sets of failed |

|
Today Maico completed the new leak testing tool and blank off. He tested them with C-seals without springs and all was leak tight. He then inspected
the crushed seals and noticed that there was an area that was crushed less on both seals (more prominent in one, 20130906_tm3sourtrayefurb_P1020975)
and that this reduced crushed zone only appears on one side of the seal. This is similar to the failure seen on both sets of the heat shield lines. On |

The sealing surfaces of the module side heat shield water block were polished on September 9th in the morning using Chad's polishing tool with
the following attachments:
- Scotchbrite pads (30 seconds) (after this step indium material from the previous seal was no longer visible on the sealing surface) |
