Pictures of the water blocks before polishing can be found on docushare, collection 24400

The containment box has been removed from TM2 and the water block jig installed in preparation for water block polishing.

TM2 has been moved from TCS to SHC. The move is smooth.

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.

Transfer fixture has been remotely disassembled to the point where the ball nut lock plate assembly can be inserted into the tool port and the plate replaced by hand in the tool port without having to enter the hot cell. Straight head screws will be replaced with SHCS to facilitate easier re-assembly and future disassembly.

Spark between HV cover vertical mesh plate and HS 60KV  bias connecting clamp 90degree angle at 55 KV on TM2 top. HV cover is removed to test above  55KV. The spark triggered TH and SHC ventilation secondary alarm.

 The old TM#2 source tray and TM#4 optics tray have been removed from the vault and placed into the spent target storage on tray 9 which is meant for source trays.

TM4 optics tray was installed onto the old TM2 source tray yesterday and tray filled with non-active metal scrap. Tray inserted into transfer frame 95% yesterday. During insertion the ball nut of the transfer jig became unfastened from its drive plate. This will have to be fixed before the jig can be used reliably again however we were able to finish the job...the transfer jig is 20 years old now so it is not entirely suprising that it needs some attention.

Today the Tm2 tray final install into the transport tray occurred by driving the tray drive screw and bringing the tray into the transfer frame the last inch 1/2 or so. "Feet" (ITA2380) had to be removed from sliding tray assembly to fit in the box however upon attempting this is was immediately clear that one of the screws was stuck and must have been cross threaded during assembly. As as result the entire drive bracket (ITA2375) had to be removed form the source tray to allow final insertion into the box.

11 handles from spent target transfers, 1 plastic bin box, Ta LP test target TRI coil, 1 aluminum box, sockets and extensions from spent target transfers and 5 obsolete legs from previous source tray replacements were amoung the items disposed of with the spent source tray.

BIAS and EZL connected. No water flowing into the module (water looped on top of module)

 TM#2 with no source tray has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

The containment box has been reinstalled onto TM2 in prepatation for testing in the conditioning station.

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

The source tray has been removed from TM2.

Dragan Mitrovic, TRIUMF structural engineer, was consulted earlier this week regarding seismic requirements for the SMP assembly.  Installation location, overall dimensions, total weight, and the center of mass for assembly IRH1670 were provided to him by e-mail.  On Feb 20th he communicated verbally that he had analyzed the assembly for seismic loads, and concluded that this equipment does not require anchoring or any other form of seismic restraint.

Update (May 30, 2019): Confirmed with Dragan that the approach he used for analysis was that specified in the BC Building Code (both 2012 edition and updated 2018 edition).

I have installed the module side water block jig.

Aaron has removed the optics tray in TM2 in preparation for source tray removal.

Containment box has been removed from TM2 in preparation for source tray removal. I will walk Aaron through removal of the optics tray today also.

The ITE water system maintenance job is done. Changed all paddle wheels and coils on ITE flow sensors. All using water poly-tubes in ITE are replaced .  Started high active water pump, and checked ITE water signals. They are good. No leak has been found on  replaced tubes and related fittings.

Helium pressure test on all water lines: 70psi , 3 minutes. HS has a quick response to 9Xe-9atm.cc/sec for 20 seconds. No response on other lines. All water lines are good. Air to vacuum  leack check on ITE and TM4: TM4 IG1 / Steers side panel has a low E-6 atm.cc/sec leak. The o-ring need to be changed when TM4 is located at TCS. All other air to vacuum seals are good on both primary and secondary vacuum vessel.

 TM#2 has been moved from the conditioning station to the south hot cell.
