|
Earlier in the day it was noted that the rotate function of the crane had creased operation. After David has finished the block moves. Don and
I checked the Crane's control unit in the ISAC crane control room and found the breaker tripped for the rotation. The breaker was reset and the crane's
rotation is now operational. If this occurs in the future only Travis Cave, Don Jackson or a TRIUMF Electrician are allowed in that control box as it is |

50 kV stable with less than 1 spark/h during the weekend by RIB obs.
Today 57 kV reached, but observed sparking on the resistors of the new HV cable. The cable will be removed to take out the resistors, before reinstalling
it. |

|
A hydraulic leak was found on the manipulator install and repair cart, upon further investigation the cause was a faulty cylinder. Once the
cylinder was removed and disassembled the inner bore was found to be scored beyond repair. Another point of interest was that the rod was painted to the
point that when retracted it compromised the rod seal causing the cylinder to leak. attached are photos outlining the issues. new cylinders are being sourced |

Thursday, July 06, 2017, 14:23, Isaac Earle, North Hot-Cell, Repair, , , Slave side Z motion tape snapped on NHC right side manipulator
|
The NHC right side manipulator was evaluated today to check if operation was normal through all ranges of motion. The manipulator was first moved
through usual motions without the electric motion drives: the feel was fairly normal, a sound could be heard from the master side Z motion tapes rubbing
on the sides of the pulleys, this problem had been identified a few weeks ago however it was significantly reduced since the master side upper and lower |

Wednesday, July 05, 2017, 15:36, Isaac Earle, North Hot-Cell, Development, , , NHC and SHC nuclear ventilation flow sensors installed
|
Installation of new flow sensors and transmitters for the NHC and SHC duct lines was completed in the target hall today. The sensors are
Dwyer DS-300-8 in-line sensors for 8" pipe; The transmitters are Dwyer MS0121 magnesense differential transmitters with 4-20mA output. The transmitters
will be wired to the new PLC control system when the upgrade is done. |

The target was inspected by Chad and Anders. Photos are available on DocuShare.
It was noticed that the target tube heater terminals had lifted up from the insulator on the target assembly as seen in this Photo.
This has later been detemined to be from the assembly, where additional clearance was required and achieved by installing |
