TM#2 with no target or source tray has been moved from the north east silo to the south hot cell.

Some issues with the turntable and having to wait for a decision on whether to remove TM2 from the hot cell so that TM4 with dead UCx target could be put in this morning.

Progress on TM2:

• Containment box has been removed from TM2.
• Water block jig has been installed.
• Existing blank off has been removed.
• Sealing surfaces have been inspected.
• First stage of sealing surface cleaning has been performed.

Tomorrow:

• Polish of sealing surfaces.
• Installation of loop.
• Vacuum/helium leak check of loop.

TM2_20141201_03 - sealing surfaces before cleaning...kind of dirty

TM2_20141201_05AC - sealing surfaces after cleaning...looks good!

Final polish, clean with methanol and clean compressed air.

Loop installed and torqued to 90 in lbs.

Minimum of approximately 1"  between loop and containment box at closest point.

Chad and I leak checked TM2 tube heater+(D) circuit at SHC with water bypass loop and new seals installed on the water block. The LD base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec,base pressure0.0xE-4 torr. Chad sprayed helium on the leak check area in SHC for 5 seconds. No any response has been found on LD during 1minutes waiting time. The test was repeated again and the result is same. NO LEAK at this stage!  After the TM2 is moved to CS , The D line will be pressured with 80 psi helium for helium pressure leak test before any hot water is circuited through it.  

TM#2 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

Results of electrical check of TM#2 with no source tray and no containment box attached. See PDF for results.

I connected TM2 and CS vacuum system. All vacuum pumps on TM2 and CS are started .The pumping down is good so .far

The pumping down on TM2 at CS was good overnight. However, the back up line pressure is still too high for LD to get to 0.0-E-9atm.cc/sec . It only could get to 1.2xE-7 atm.cc/sec. It is not enough for a good leak check . I dont want to have any ambiguous situation on this" D" line leak check. So,I am going to reconfigure the leak detector to the spare KF25 pot on the TM2 service cap. All pumps are stopped . The CS and TM2 will be vented soon. After that, a manual valve will be installed on that spare KF25 pot for future helium pressure check at CS. Then, The TM2 and CS will be pumped down again.

At CS, The leak detector is hooked directly to the TM2 top service cap. The base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0xE-4torr. Applied 80 psi helium to TM2 tube heater +(D) line . During 3 minutes applying time , I did  not see any tiny change on LD readings. The line is perfectly vacuum sealed.  See attachment pictures.

 TCS:WPV1 does not open when staging is enabled. Multiple attempts have been made, but the valve remains closed.

 Dave Morris looked at the PLC controls and found that the code was not writing to the output after the PLC migration. He corrected it.

 e-fault submitted and Niel Wong has been contacted.

Niel Wong came and had a look at the system. We decided to close the circuit as the water is no longer used with the new power supplies. The circuit will be monitored, but not repaired unless it is needed again.

 Due to the water leak, the expansion tank needed topping up. It was filled from 14 in to 20 in. See work permit I2014-12-15-2.

The valved off water circuit has been valved off and  TCS:WFB2:BIASSW1 and TCS:TCM2:BIASSW1 have been removed from the power supply interlock chain by Dave Morris.

The RGA showed no response to He-spray on the Service Cap. He stable at 3.5E-9 T partial pressure, water at 1.3E-6 T. IG1 at 9.9E-8 T
