I disconnected TM4 in ITE this morning. The heat shield circuit has been purged with air.

 TM4 with NiO#1 was moved from ITE to the SHC today. The move went well with no issues.

NiO#1 was removed this morning.

UCx#5 was inserted into the hot cell around 1 pm, installed and leak checked and ready to go to the conditioning station 1:40pm

did have a little trouble with the 9 pin connector. It had to be lossened to get it to mate properly. It was le-tightened once the proper fit was achieved.

TM4 was remote moved from the SCH to the TCS today. This was the first time the module was moved with the framework for the cage in place. The ion gauge on the service cap is closer to the cage than anticipated and as a result the pins for the gauge were sheared off. Discussion as to how to repair the gauge (both short term and long term needs to be had). We will try and rough down the TM tonight, it is not believed the vacuum will be affected.

TM4 heat shield helium pressure test and electrical check were done  at CS  last week. The results are good. NO leak had been found on heat shield circuit.The electrical check is also good.

Yesterday TM#4 with UCx#5 was moved to the east target station from the conditioning station,  move went well.

Bevan and I transferred five shielding blocks from ITW to ITE. ITE is ready for taking proton beam.

I changed ITE dump water circuit flow wheel due to its poor performance. The new flow wheel works fine. The signal on electrical board is strong and constant. One shielding block on ITE was moved out for the job, and it has been moved back after the job.The ITE is ready to take proton beam. Travis was with me when i did the job.

Around 7pm tonight I opened the main valve approximately 1.5 turns on the Argon bottle used for venting ITE, located in the ISAC electrical room. The cylinder pressure gauge increased to about 1500 psi. I adjusted the secondary regulator (pressure relief valve) until it read 2psi. I opened the needle valve in the vent line completely. The pressure on the pressure relief valve dropped slightly and I adjusted it again until it read 2psi. The Argon supply should be ready for venting ITE w/ TM4. The station should be vented around midnight to prepare for TM4 disconnect tomorrow morning. If there are problems with the venting process, an operator should check the pressure on the secondary regulator / pressure relief valve to ensure it is reading 2psi. - Grant Minor

TM#4 with UC#5 has been moved from east target station to the south hot cell move went well.  Also the electrical check post beam was done on the module see attached pdf for the results.

I disconnected TM4 in ITE. All water lines had been purged.Travis was with me .

UCx #5 has been removed from TM4. The left oven leg is indeed broken.

Target has been placed in a pail with an argon feed.

TM4 was successfully moved from the South Hot Cell to the South-West Silo remotely by Grant Minor, with help from David Wang and Don Jackson.  The move was without problems.  See ISAC Work Permit 2012-12-04-1.

TM#4 has been moved from the SW silo to the south hot cell, move went well.

Electrical check performed on the CS Test Target #1 at the south hot cell. See PDF for details.

TM#4 with the test target #1 is now in the conditioning station, move went well.

Chad and i did a leak check on TM4 heat shield circuit with installed dummy target at SHC today. The leak detector is pumped to 0.0xE-9atm.cc/sec.Chad sprayed helium twice on each  VCR joints .There is no any response had been found on the leak detector during each 45 seconds waiting time. The TM4 heat shield circuit with dummy  target is leak tight so far.  

Bevan attempted to start pumping down on TM4 today remotely but there was an issue.  He will report on Monday.

I went into the Target Hall this afternoon while on the phone with Bevan and performed the following:

- Checked the knurled vent valves on the side of each turbo, both were found to be in the tightened position (all the way clockwise)

- Closed the VAT valve between the scroll pump and the nuclear ventilation

Attached are some photos of TM4 in the Conditioning Station after the no-module HV test completion.  Only vacuum services are connected.

 Today the module was biased to 40kV in the conditioning station. The current draw was 0uA. Sparking started at 27 kV. I have attached the recording from the strip tool of the vacuum while we were testing. After consulting Pierre if we should take the module to a higher voltage it was decided not to. The purpose of this test we to check the interaction between the module, cover, new cooling line, EE and EINZEL cables. This test was considered a success and although there are no anticipated problems care should be taken when taking the module past 40kV for the first time.
