TH shut down jobs are processing as scheduled this week. Discussed with Don, and we think the jobs scheduled in next week should be processed as we planned. See attachments for updated schedule.

I updated the schedule today. See attachment 3, 4 for updating.  2015-Mar-10.

2013-Mar -13, I updated the schedule to show the jobs we finished this week. See attachment 5,6

The MK4 optics tray prepared for TM2 (as per ITA6082) had an undersized bore for the banana plug, making insertion of the plug extremely difficult / impossible.

Reference stores parts were collected to check the fit:  male plug 3-4/01152 and female jack 1-6/1201.  The size of the female jack was checked with a #21 drill at .159".

The bore on the optics tray was drilled out dry using the #21 drill to the same depth as the original blind hole, by Maico and Dan McDonald.  Chips were carefully collected in a rag, and the hole was blown out with compressed air.

The fit was checked to be snug but possible, using the male plug and the Remote Handling ultem base (ref ITA6023).

Redlines and photos are attached.

Dan and I replaced ITW target pit o-ring seal(.275DIA X42"ID). It is an annual job before first beam to ITW. The old o-ring was moved and the groove was vacuum cleaned. The new o-ring has been installed properly.

The new TBHT and TGHT power supplies were brough up to high current; 350 A and 420 A respectively. The TGHT power supply was limited by PLC to 420 A. The resistance calculated for both the TBHT and TGHT copper lines from the electrical services room to the ITW pit was 1.35 mOhm. See attached spreadsheet for details.

Dave Morris has been contacted to correct the current limit for the TGHT supply to 600 A.

TM#1 with UC#12 has been moved from the conditioning station to the west target station.

TM1 has been connected in ITW. Five turbo pumps have  been started. The TM1 containment box window line is capped on the service cap and the line is pump town to E-4 torr range.

5 shielding blocks have been transferred from ITE to ITW. I  checked all ITW water signals, and they are good.  ITW is configured to take proton beam.

There was an external water leak in ITW during the last beam running time. The leak started after the shielding blocks transfer(May 22). It cause a constantly water level drop on S-tank(0.5 "/day average). Today , after the blocks are moved , the leak source has been found. Water seeped through a fitting on ITW dump circuit pressure gauge. The leak water slowly flow around the TM1 on the tank flange. most of them are dried out, but left some stain on dump module and tank flange. By closing the supply and return water valves on the ITW dump circuit, the leak is stopped now. We will fix this problem after the module is moved out and the radioactive field is low.  See attachments.

TM#1 with UC#12 has been moved from the west station to the south hot cell.

TM1 was disconnected in ITW  this morning. The ITW was vented with argon last night.

The leaking 1/8 NPT(M)-1/4NPT(F) adapter on the ITW dump circuit is replaced.

TM#2 with ZrC#7 has been moved from the conditioning station  to the west target station.

During last run， ITW dump circuit had a water leak on an adaptor below the pressure gauge. The top tank flange, slot, and O-ring were water contaminated by the leak. I removed the old o- ring, cleaned up the flange and o-ring slot, and put a new o-ring into the flange. Some  pictures will be attached in this mail later.

TM2 has been connected in ITW. During the connection, Anders and I  found the TM2  high current cables used in ITE and CS are short in ITW.  Anders and Grant found the original TM2 ITE high current cables in target hall. We replaced them. They works fine. But, a little bit longer on cable length would be easy to connect them. All other connections and HV cover in ITW work for the TM2 so far.

Maico and Dan moved 5 shielding blocks from ITE to ITW. The ITW is configured to take proton beam.

Dan and I disconnected TM2 in ITW this morning.

Bill and I remotely removed TM2 from ITW to SHC. The move is smooth.

TM#2 with SiC#32 has been moved from the south hot cell to the west target station.

Lower and disconnect TM2 from crane in ITW, proceed with hooking up TM2 as per checklist with Anders. Double check flow meters and coils, reset TP1 and TP2
