 Monday, February 11, 2019, 10:26, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP shield box and vacuum vessel moved to Target Hall 6x
|
On February 8th the SMP shield box (IRH1675) and the vacuum vessel (IRH1806) were both raised from a horizontal to vertical orientation in
the ISAC-1 Experimental Hall. Hamilton "Mini-Mite" S-MM2-43FS caster wheels were then installed on the base of the shield box and it was
lowered down the hatch to the B2 level. The vacuum vessel was then lowered into the shield box, supported by the rollers, as designed. The |

|
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 |

|
Last week drilling of the additional required holes in the SMP shield box was completed in the Target Hall. This morning the shield box (IRH1675)
was moved to its final installation position in the silo area on the B2 level. The vacuum vessel (IRH1806) was then installed inside the shield box.
The center of the vacuum vessel is 2-3" north of the south travel limit of the crane. Photos as well as measurements of the final position are |

Thursday, April 04, 2019, 14:49, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP vacuum vessel support roller friction check
|
With the SMP vacuum vessel now installed inside the shield box, a test was performed to measure the torque required to rotate the vessel. At a
moment arm distance of 2.0m a force of 89N was required to rotate the vessel (with no module installed) resulting in a torque of 178Nm. Based on
this, the coefficient of rolling resistance (CRR) was calculated to be 0.007; This is fairly close to available data for similar applications such |

Wednesday, May 15, 2019, 16:06, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP module support flange installed and leak checked
|
The SMP module support flange sub-assembly (IRH1755) was installed today according to drawing IRH1683. Dow Corning 111 sealing compound was used
to keep the o-ring adhered to the lower groove during transportation and installation. The TCS shield plug (IRH1646) was then installed on the SMP
module flange which has vacuum connections for leak checking. Vacuum was pulled on the SMP vessel using the Varian 979 leak detector. After |

Friday, July 26, 2019, 15:43, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP vacuum control system completed
|
The SMP vacuum control system has been wired and setup to be controlled from EPICS. Backing valve control (SMP:BV1) was tested by connecting
to the turbo pump solenoid on TM3 located in the silo directly north of the SMP. The SMP pump (SMP:MP1) was turned on and off through the EPICS interface
and responded as expected. Both convectron gauges (SMP:CG1 and SMP:CG2) responded as expected when the pump was turned on. The readings from |

Friday, August 23, 2019, 14:27, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP camera video cabling installed and tested
|
Installation of the video lines for the SMP cameras was completed yesterday according to IRH1670 Rev B. All four cameras were confirmed to
be displaying properly in the crane control room. The cameras are powered from an outlet wired to circuit 35/37 on Panel #443 (located in the NHCSA).
This is independent from the power supply for other existing camera systems in the Target Hall. The SMP turntable was rotated through the full range |

Monday, September 30, 2019, 11:27, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP vacuum vessel modifications completed
|
The SMP vacuum vessel welds were reinforced to match the specifications on IRH1710 Rev D. In addition a tube stub was added on the side of the
vessel for installation of a PRV. The relief valve installed was Accu-Glass 113150, with 2psi setpoint (not the MDC 420036 model specified on IRH1710
Rev D). The drawing will be updated to reflect this. |

Tuesday, October 15, 2019, 16:42, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP flange alignment tested using shield plug
|
As a preliminary test in preparation for SMP commissioning, one of the steel module shield plugs was installed into the SMP to check the positional
and rotational alignment procedures. The following is a summary of the steps performed:
Shield plug lifted with crane and rotated to an arbitrary (non-orthogonal) position
Using the crane pendant the shield |

Tuesday, October 22, 2019, 16:26, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP shield box grounding
|
A braided grounding strap was attached to the aluminum gear box support on the SMP shield box structure, and grounded by attaching it to the exterior
of an electrical conduit located in the south-west corner of the B2 area at the top of the silo in that corner. The braiding was also connected to
the stainless steel support structure for the SMP vacuum pump. |

Monday, October 28, 2019, 12:00, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP shielding attenuation measured & compared to theoretical values
|
The attenuation of the SMP shielding was measured as part of SMP commissioning (Document-170404, R1, Section 4, Test #8)
The field on the shutter side of TM3 was measured without any shielding as it was removed from a storage silo. At 0.5m from the edge of the
module the maximum field was 5.00mSv. After installation into the SMP the maximum field outside the SMP shielding at 0.5m from the edge of the module |

Thursday, December 12, 2019, 14:39, Isaac Earle, Safe Module Parking, Development, , , SMP assembly shifted 1.0" north
|
The SMP assembly was shifted approximately 1.0" north today by pushing it, braced against the south wall, using a 100 Ton capacity air lifting bag
supplied by Beamlines Group. The move was one of the action items identified at the Gate 4A/4B close-out review. During commissioning of the
SMP, TM3 was installed into the vacuum vessel, which required the crane to be all the way at its south limit, so the move is to provide some margin for |

|
The North Hot Cell gas delivery lines (labeled 1, 2, and 3 on the hot and cold side panels) were leak checked today. 5psi helium gas was
applied to each line in turn with the appropriate solenoid valve opened and a Staubli connector with plastic tubing and the leak check wand attached to
the matching connector inside the cell. The end of the wand was sealed using tape. The Agilent G8601 leak detector was used on "sniffing" |

Hi Remote Handling,
The guage on the IMC circuit in the Target Hall is reading atmosphere, and the bellows is currently relaxed (i.e. expanded), whereas it should
be reading about -20inHg and the bellows should be contracted (i.e. compressed). |

|
Today (Wednesday July 18th) at around 4:15 pm I was taking a small tour group from VECC into the Target Hall. In the process of discussing the mechanical
design of the Target Modules and South Hot Cell turntable I inadvertently lifted the Aluminum Hatch Cover of the Hot Cell about 2 inches in an effort
to explain something. This tripped the ventilation alarm before I realized what I was doing. I evacuated the visitors from the Target Hall, checked |
