TM2 with spent target TA#68 was disconnected  in ITE and is being moved to SHC. All water lines are purged for module storage.

TM3 with new target UCx#47 was connected in ITE right after be moved from TCS. 

 5 Shielding Blocks have been transferred from ITW to ITE. MAA is secured after moving.

 Five shielding blocks are moved from ITE to storage area ( one of them is sitting on B2 as limit of room) for target stations maintenance in 2025 winter shut down .

 TM4 WITH UCx#46 was disconnected in 2025-01-02 in ITW. Forms attached.

 TM3 with spent target UCx#47 was disconnected in ITE and will be moved to SHC.

 David and I cleaned both cages in ISAC1 electric room, all done.

2 broken lights of NHC were replaced in Target Hall. see pics attached.

 Thursday, March 21, 2024, 11:33 Three channels are available now for thermocouple readouts from the Target multipin. Wiring from the PLC modules to the connection terminal blocks and labeling done.

 3 light bulbs replaced in the ISAC South Hot Cell - North West light, South west light, and South East light bulbs. Northeast light currently still working.

The South East light is not working after bulb replacement. This bulb was tested using the wires from the Northeast light station and the bulb is working properly. Electrical services is being contacted to troubleshoot the cable issues. 

ISAC Storage Vault Door Re-alignment (April-May 2024) 

Issue

• Rollers gouging and marking on roller supports, testing shows door shifts at least 185 thou on structural beam when fully open vs. fully closed
• door misaligned: 1/4" laterally, slight rotation (~1/16" difference across closed door gap).

Repair

• Moved left structural beam (facing front of door) inward 1/4" at post.
• Loosened drive system to shift door over via crane to average laterally (1/8" shift) towards center,
• Attempted to fix door rotation with crane, door would not settle down perfectly flush, but got slight improvement 
• Adjusted limit switches for fully open and closed (due to the adjustments made previously, needed to realign limit switches) - adjusted flag for final close back by ~1/4"; adjusted limit switch at back of vault forward ~1/4" 

Verification 

• Unloaded vault door actuation tested multiple times with no issues, door returned to same position every cycle, no interferences during travel
• Vault Door actuation tested with trays 4 and 6 engaged, no issues
• All pails accessible when open
• Tested open and closed limit switches: the open limit switches are working properly; the closing soft and hard limit switches are slightly close together, causing the door to just "bump" the vault when closing, The scale of this is OK for current operation, will be adjusted when the ISAC Target Hall Controls Overhaul is done
• Tested and reset Emergency override mechanism - works properly

Outstanding Tasks

• Will paint marks on structural supports to track if problem reoccurs - update ELog when complete 

System State: Operational

See attached file for details

West target station is setup to use argon for tank venting.  There is 1200 PSI remaining on argon bottle in electrical room.  That is sufficent for venting west target station to atmosphere twice.  ISAC Operations has been previousily contacted and their procedures for venting remain the same except that they can not rely on ITW:CG4S to determine when at atmospheric pressure.  I have asked them to contact me if an unscheduled vent is required.

Megger check values were low but still within operational range.

Megger checks were exceptionally high (good).  Readings taken less than 2 hours after reading low values from end of run on Nb#6.  Tests on Ta38 will be repeated at conditioning station later.

 The power to the crane and controls were turned off using the power switch in the Crane Control room.  The main disconnect switch in the target hall was not touched.

All site power will be off for a period of time during the Christmas break and this removes the crane from any issues when power is restored.

1 Jumpers between 60KV common and FEBIAD lines were connected in an unusual way.  This should of had no impact on the ZrC run but would have to be corrected for any future FEBIAD runs.

2 Feedthrough U was mislabeled (label has been removed)

 I did a leak check again on TM4 today. This time, the leak detector pump to the bottom on both base pressure(0.0xE-4 torr) and base leak rate(0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec). All high vacuum gauges on TM4 and conditioning station at -6torr range.IG1 is 3.3-6torr,PNG5(top of service cap)is 6.5-6 torr, and the PNG4(bottom of the vessel )is 8.7-6torr. For air to vacuum leak checking, I checked the panel we moved last week on service cap by spraying helium around the panel. There is no any response on leak detector. The panel is leak tight. Also I sprayed helium around the tube heater (+) water cap and blue nylon stand. They are also leak tight. Then, I put 80 psi pressure air to the “D” circuit first. With 80 psi pressure air for 5 minutes, the leak detector has no any response on it. Also all high vacuum gauges stayed at same level .Then I checked it with 80 psi pressure helium for 3 minutes. The leak detector has a response on leak rate with pressure helium same as last time. It climbed from the 0.0xE-9 atm. cc/sec quickly to high -8 range then slow down. The leak rate finally climbed to 2.0 X E-7 atm.cc/sec this time. There is no base pressure change on leak detector. All high vacuum gauge readings no change during the test time. There is a small helium leak at 80 psi pressure test on “D” circuit. But we can not locate it at this stage. Also I don’t want to disturb this circuit any more before the febiad run since this time I saw a little bit increase on leak rate comparing to last time when I checked it. If we really like to find this small helium leak, I would suggest we do it after the febiad run.    Thank you.

TM1 full leak check in conditioning station has been fulfilled this morning.Both air to vacuum leak check and waterlines helium 80psi pressure test are fine.The result:

Air to vacuum helium spray:base leak rate on leak detector 1.6x E-9 atm .cc/sec.base pressure0.0xE-4 torr. sprayed helium around all flanges, turbo pumps,panels,bellow,insulation stands, gauges. No Response on leak detector. Air to vacuum seals on TM1 is leak tight.

The base pressure on leak detector stayed at 0.0x E-9 torr through all the test, and no pressure response on high vacuum gauges.

I did a vacuum leak check on all ITE primary vacuum vessel and secondary vessel.I also did a helium pressure test(80psi ) on all TM4 water lines. There is no leak has been found.ITE and TM4 are both leak tight now.

ITE primary vacuum vessel and TM4 waterlines:

Hooked leak detector after TP1 between BV1. leak detector base pressure :0.0xe-4 torr. base leak rate:1.8x e-8 atm.cc/sec.sprayed helium around all TM4 and exit 1 ,2 module primary vessel including all flanges,  gauges, bellows,turbos,blank offs,etcThere is no  any response  on leak detector. All water lines  had been pressurized with 80 psi helium  for 5 minutes. The leak rate always stayed at 1.8xe-8 atm.cc/sec which is the base leak rate  on ITE this time, and no vacuum pressure change also.The TM4  water lines and ITE primary vacuum vessel are leak tight.

ITE secondary vacuum vessel:

Hooked leak detector after TP1S between BV1S. Leak detector base pressure :0.0xe-4 torr.Base leak rate:0.0xe-9 atm.cc/sec. Sprayed helium around all TM4,EXIt 1,2  module secondary vessel including alll flanges,gauges, air cylinders , valves, and blank-offs.There is no any response on leak detector . tThe late rate  kept at 0.0XE-9 ATM.CC/SEC, and no pressure change either.The ITE secondary vacuum vessel is leak tight.
