|
SiC#30,ZrC#7,Ta#44,TiC#4, and Ta#41 have been moved from the spent target storage to the mini storage. See attached PDF for details of the orders of the pails in the mini vault. |
Thursday, October 26, 2017, 09:56, Anders Mjos, ITE, Repair, TM4, SiC#37, Leak on multi pin connector feedthrough
|
On maintenance day Tuesday, the roughing of the target station could not go below 1.5 Torr. A brief troubleshooting on Tuesday was unsuccessful in determining the cause. Leak checking continued on Wednesday by David and Anders. A leak was finally found on the multi pin connector feedthrough due to the seal between the connector and flange on top of the nylon insulator. Upon re-tightening the connector, the leak could be stopped and the module pumped down to allow starting of turbo pumps. |
Tuesday, October 24, 2017, 11:58, Travis Cave, ITE, Standard Operation, TM4, SiC#37, Module move
|
TM#4 with SiC#37 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station. A measurement was taken on TM#4 as it was being removed from the conditioning station, the location was on the side of the service tray access panel approx one metre away and the cover fully exposed, the reading was 750uSV/hr. |
