TM2 with Febiad target SiC#42 was connected in ITW.

On June 2 2022, while attempting to install target SiC#42 a gasket fell off the water line. I attempted to remove the target to have the gasket reattached, however the multi pin connector guide pin was loose and was preventing the target from being removed. During the attempt to remove the target it was noticed that an electrical cable in the back of the module had become loose and was dangling. The target was then secured to the module, and then the module was moved to the SHC to complete the job/repairs.

June 3 2022, containment box was removed, Einzle Lens cable reattached and tested, and the multi pin guide pin was retightened.

On June 6 2022, the containment box was damaged while lifting the containment box back onto the module.

The left rear corner of the box caught on the module and the corner weld snapped and folded the corner down about 90 degrees.

With help from Chad, we were able to restraighten the corner with a C-clamp, enabling the box to be reattached to the module.

However the 2 bolts that were on the corner that attach to the module were not able to be aligned and were not used.

The target was reattached to the module, and to save time was brought directly to ITW, skipping the conditioning station. 

 An electrical check was done at NHC, see attachment pls.

 The spent SiC#42 was moved from the north hot cell to the spent target vault, it was placed in pail #271 and put in spot 2B. see attached PDF for more details.

TM#4 with SiC#41 has been moved from the NHC to ITE.

 TM#2 moved from ITE to NHC SiC#41 removed and then moved back to ITE.

 The spent SiC#41 target has been placed in pail #260 and placed in spot 5B of that spent target vault. See attached PDF for details. 

TM#4 with SiC#40 has been moved from the east target station to the south hot cell.

 TM#2 with the SiC#39 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the east target station.

 TM#2 with SiC#39 has been moved from the east station to the smp.

 The spent targets SiC#38 and UC#29 have been removed from the spent target vault and placed into the mini storage. See attached PDF for details.

 Results from the electrical check with the old SiC#38 target and the new SiC#39.

Helium pressure leak check on TM2 HS line at TCS is done. No leak. Also, Helium are sprayed to gas line adapter and fittings. No leak. TM2 is connected at TCS. Anode plug on TCS is connected to module 52pin connector. Water system is started. Vacuum pumping down is good. HV cover will be installed today.

Thursday, November 07, 2019, 10:35: Tested source to 30 A on TGHT, TBHT and COIL. ANODE at 100 V.

Tuesday, November 12, 2019

The FEBIAD source worked well over the weekend. The anode current limit was adjusted twice to stop voltage limiting. About 5E-8 A on the FC with TGHT=580A, TBHT=300A, ANODE=200V,150 mA, COIL=50A. Bias was conditioned to 30 kV

TM2 was moved from the Conditioning Station to ITE, with SiC#38 target.

 TM#2 with SiC#38 has been moved from ITE to the south hot cell.

 The results of the electrical check of TM#4 with SiC#37, see attached PDF.

 TM#4 with SiC#37 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.
