SiC#31 has been removed from TM4 and UCx#13 installed. UCx#13 connection to the 9 pin connector was VERY VERY tight to the tube heater insulator on both the test jig and module.

Ta #45 has been removed from TM4 and SIC#31installed.

Electrical check on TM#4 with SiC#31. See attached PDF for details.

TM#4 with SiC#31 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

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

Electrical check of TM#4 post beam with target (SiC#31) on and module without target on. There is a short between the target and EE when the target is on and when the target was removed short went away. See the PDF for details.

Extraction electrode was removed from SiC#31 and target inspected.

Pictures of findings can be found at          https://documents.triumf.ca/docushare/dsweb/View/Collection-15131

SiC#31 has been moved to the spent target vault. It is in pail #127 and placed in spot 3C of the vault is was 489mSv/hr when removed from the south hot cell. See attached pdf for vault status

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.

Electrical check of the TM#3 with SiC#30 attached. Also an electrical check of TM#3 after the cleaning of ground electrode with no target attached.

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

Just some notes on the install of SiC#30 on TM3 last month...It was installed with all new fasteners and torque values provided by Anders were used...of main interest is probably the main high current fasteners which were torqued to 150 in lbs.

SiC#30 has been removed from TM3. A quick exam of TM3 source tray did not  yield any obvious signs of damage.

9 pin connector on the target showed the usual sparking/arcing marks.

Heat shield has been removed from the target. Inside of heat shield has some unusual marks on it and quite a lot of black deposits.

SiC#30 in pail #117 has been move to the spent target vault and placed in spot 2C. See attached PDF for details.

Electrical check on TM#4 with SiC#29 has been done. The reading of the magnet coil and 60kV common is low at 750 ohms, normally this infinite. Awaiting further instruction on if this is a pass or fail. See attached PDF for the rest of the details.

TM#4 with SiC#29 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station move went well.

Electrical check of TM#4 with SiC#29 attached. Results are pretty much the same as yesterday for the coil to 60kV common, and anode to 60kV common. See attached pdf for details.

TM#4 with SiC #29 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station, move went well.
