|
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. |

|
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. |

|
Polishing of the water block sealing surfaces has commenced. First attempt was on block B with low nap brown polishing pad (the least aggressive pad
prepared) and isopropyl for 30 seconds. This cleaned a little but did not remove the "ring" which I believe is water scale. I will step up to
2000 grit wet sand paper and iso next. |

|
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. |

|
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. |

|
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 |
