Started argon venting of ITW now.

The NHC module support flange cameras (4 total) as well as the NHCSA camera were tested today and confirmed to be working properly.  All cameras were angled and focused properly, and displaying clearly on the monitors in the ISAC RH Control Room.  Photos of the control room monitors are attached below.

TP1, TP2 are still connected for next week leak check. All water lines in TM2 are purged with 80 psi air, each for 5 minutes.

TP1 and TP2 had been disconnected. TM2 with UCx 25  disconnection checklist, See attachment.

Target hall crane did not work properly after power outage during Christmas time. The only movement could be operated is crane rotation. Power is supplied crane. The control board on N-S, E-W and up-down movement showed  F51 error code which is tripped limit.. All these clues pointed to a PLC control problem.  Don dale was asked for help. He used the crane control PLC program on an old computer  in RH control room reset the PLC system. Everything works fine after his reset.

ITH:MP1 inlet pressure showed 10torr after power outage during holiday. All ITE/W turbo-pumps were tripped because of it. Removed one shielding block above the vacuum station. Visually checked oil level  and condition in pump. oil level is high. oil color is dark. no oil  leak .  Installed a local convectron gauge on pump inlet. After pumping down, It shows pump is good.  Tightened  all KF 25 and 50 clamps on pump inlet side. Reconnected pump to system. Everything works fine so far. All ITW / E turbo pumps are started now.

Found pumps off after the holidays. Restarted roughing pump and TP1S

Frank and Anders installed lid on TCS and started vacuum system yesterday. To run over the Holidays. Retrieved dose badge from operational storage area. Measured field to be ~ 10 mSv/h at ~9am. Beam went off about 8:30am.

The following North Hot Cell work was completed over the last week under work permit I2018-12-12-1:

Thurs Dec 13^th:

• Prepared master side according to removal manual (noticed screwing in the right side locking screw was not as smooth to go in as normal; left side was smooth like normal)
• Removed manipulator roof block and set down in yellow frame (required some stacked wood to prevent light from bottoming out)
• Removed steel side plates in NHC manipulator hatch
• Removed the slave end (SN: 9764) – noticed “Right Elevation/Twist Coupler” off of vertical by around 30 degrees
• Wrist elevation of removed slave end was not locked, lifted it slightly and this brought the coupler to the vertical position and it locked with a click
• Suspected the thru-tube also would be misaligned, confirmed by inspecting visually in hot cell (Unsure why this misalignment occurred considering we followed the removal procedure properly.  One theory is that when we accidentally left the timing screw in the master side handle cable drum last time it may have caused things to get a little out of alignment)

Friday Dec 14^th:

• Un-did the right side locking screw on the master
• Then could turn coupler on the thru-tube to the vertical position from within the hot cell
• Re-locked the right side locking screw (this time it went in smoothly)
• With all couplers on thru-tube vertical we then installed the replacement slave (SN: 9352) as per instructions
• For future slave end changes should use some sort of long chain or sling instead of having the auxiliary crane hook block within the hatch (some sort of T-hook type lift feature replacing the bail may work better as well)
• Evaluated the manipulator: seemed to be working normally, Chad tested plugged in LED lamp plug and also opened and closed the work table hatch
• Noticed Z motion tape on slave end loose when fully extended in Z (nice and tight when retracted) – this seems to be normal
• Confirmed manipulators can reach all surfaces of the table
• Then tested remote handling of LED light fixtures from the Target Hall using pole tools through the manipulator roof hatch
  • Started with both LED light plugs un-plugged
  • Used 9’ standard beam lines RH pole tool (this worked fine, but 10-12’ would be better)
  • Curved hook end attachment
  • First lifted cables out of all cable tray sections (the wall mounted Panduit)
  • Then removed the East light fixture assembly (IRH1800) - lifted from designated lift loop (IRH1796) – This went smoothly
  • Hoisted up into the Target Hall, then lowered back down to re-install
  • To reinstall had to hook the assembly at a lower point due to flex of the pole from the weight of the assembly (hooked just below the ballast for installation).  Using this method reinstalling the fixture went smoothly.  I will update the design to move the designated lift point (or add an additional one) at this location.
  • Once the light fixture was on the bracket, replaced the cables in the cable tray using the pole tool.  The final section on the east wall before the outlets was a little tricky, but by viewing and reaching from the north-west corner of the hatch it was do-able
  • Confirmed visually that remote removal and installation of the west fixture can be done using the same procedure as the east
• Replaced lamp block (stored lifting hardware for hatch side plates above block, below hatch cover)

Monday Dec 17^th:

• Left side slave-end boot was installed as per manual instructions.  It was done with two people inside the cell this time which went much smoother than just one last time (the boot was not installed on the slave prior to moving it into the hot cell because we wanted to inspect the tape and cables after installation and the boot would prevent that)
• The condition of both boots was checked. Both appear to be in new condition with no signs of degradation.  The material seems pliable and strong.
• Chad Fisher, ISAC Hot Cell Operator, checked the light level from the cold side of the hot cell and confirmed that it is acceptable.  However, without the operator level LED lighting it was too dim.

 Tuesday Dec 18^th:

• Lift bails for both manipulator slave ends set to farthest north position which results in face that mates with thru-tube to be close to vertical when hanging from lift bail
• Work table, stairs, entrance floor area, pre-filter assembly, tool port, window cover, and hot side service connection panel vacuumed and wet wiped to remove dirt and dust.
• NHC inlet damper (located in Target Hall) adjusted to set NHC depression to around 1.05”wc (the NHC damper is currently not responding to the NVCS and needs to be investigated and repaired by Controls Group and/or Mechanical Services)

Blocks were moved from ITW to ITE by Frank and David. ITE water flow to dump was re-opened (ITW remains open). A dose badge was installed in the operation storage area. Dose rates were measured to ~10 mSv/h at 1pm. Beam went off approximately 8:30am (with a short period of 2uA ending at 11am).

 The following tests have been successfully completed using the NHC manipulators:

• Ventilation pre-filter (mounted on the NHC/TCS partition wall) removed and re-installed using the manipulators
• Electrical plugs (two total) for operator-level LED lighting located on east wall of cell interior plugged in, and un-plugged using the manipulators
• Electrical plug inserted into and removed from each of the 120V outlets (four total) located in front of the viewing window using the manipulators
• All diagnostic service connections removed and reinstalled using the manipulators (six total, see IRH1765)
• All Staubli air and gas connections removed and reinstalled using the manipulators (five total, see IRH1749)

These tests were performed at various different times over the last several months by Isaac Earle and/or Chad Fisher.

Completed testing of connectors for Ariel using the north hot cell.

The tong cable on the spare north hot cell slave has been repaired. Slave came from the factory with the tong cables straddling one of the pulleys they are suppose to run through.

TM4 has been connected in ITE. See attachment for connection checklist

 TM#4 with UC#26 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

 The spent Ta#57 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target storage it was placed in pail 174 and placed in spot 8C in the vault. See attached PDF for details.

Chad and I did a leak check on TM4 HS line with UCx 26# installed . Base LR 0.0X E-9 atm.cc/sec. Base pressure 0.0XE-4 torr.  No response on leak detector during leak check.

 TM#4 with UC#26 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

 Electrical check of TM#4 with the old Ta#57, no target and with new IG-LIS UC#26 target. See attached PDF for details.

Inspected new high current flexible cables during TM4 disconnection. The new cables and adapters work fine.

TM4 was disconnected in ITE. Checklist list in attachment.
