ITE target module tank flange o-ring was replaced yesterday before TM4 moving. ITE: IG1S reading looks fine so far. 

TM#1 has been moved from the North West silo to the conditioning station.

all turbo-pumps are started. Everything looks fine so far.

Today, I checked TH crane main hoist  when shielding plug is installed into ITE pit. I did  some jogging actions on main hoist during the operation. Everything looks fine. No burning smell, no strange noise. An outside crane expert suggest that jogging is the worst working situation for crane. We have to use jogging actions during our crane operation. But, we could try to use less jogging when operate the crane.

 Argon vented TCS and TM4 after pumps are stopped.

This morning, The helium pressure leak check on TM4 Ta(-) is done after TM4 finished conditioning yesterday.  LD base LR:8.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. Applied 70 psi helium to TM4 TA(-) water line. The LR slowly climbed to 2.2XE-7 atm.cc/sec, and stopped there. Waited for 5 minutes and change at 2.2 X E-7 atm.cc/sec.

TM#4 with UC#19 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

Leak check on TM4 Ta(-) water lines in service cap is done. LD base LR after 50minutes pumping down:0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. base pressure: 0.0XE-4 torr. I sprayed lots helium on welding stems on Ta(-) line in service cap including stems in blue nylon insulator and stems to service tray.  no any response has been foun on LD. The Ta(-) line in service cap is leak free.

 Totally panel open and leak check time is about 12minutes. Argon vented TCS before leak check this morning. 

A small leak has been found on TM4 Ta(-) which is marked as "B" on terminal blocks. The LD base Leak rate is 1.2XE-8 atm.cc/sec. 70psi helium has been applied to Ta(-) water line for 3minutes. The leak rate went up to 2.5xE-6 atm.cc/sec and stabilized there. Anders found a helium response on RGA helium reading during the same time. This confirms the leak is real. Other lines are leak checked today also. They are good still. All TM4 water lines were leak checked in ITE in 2017 January. They  were all good at 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. See attachment e-log.

UCx#19 has been installed onto TM4. High current fasteners torqued to 130 in lbs. Has been leak and electrical checked and is ready to leave hot cell.

Electrical check done on TM#4 with UC#19. See attached PDF for results.

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

Did the start of the running year electrical checks of both TM#2 and TM#4 with no target attached to either module. TM#2 was in the south hot cell and TM#4 is in the conditioning station under vacuum.

Rust on S/W silo and cover plate stored at silo area are cleaned up.

ITE clean up is done.  HV cage inside is wiped.

2A window has been removed from the vault and moved over the cyclotron vault tunnels.  Attached is the updated storage vault list.

The 2A3 window now has a lid, and lift yolk on it and it has been installed in the spent target vault in spot 2A. The lid is a normal unmodified and has no sealant on it.

The pail containing window was transferred from the Storage Vault to the Cyclotron Vault Tunnel Storage 2017 Mar 24. It was placed in a brick bunker along the north wall and marked with item #1434. RPG storage form is attached.

Highest field measured at 0.5 m was 3000 uSv/h with an estimate of 4000 uSv/h on contact with the pail. Pail exterior was not contaminated. See attached storage form for details.

 

Transfered the 2A window from the ISAC Storage Vault to the Cyclotron Vault Tunnel Storage area. RPG storage form attached.

TM4 service cap rust are cleaned out at TCS. All top surface of TM4 are wiped and cleaned . The module looks good now. see attachments
