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

TM2 has been disconnected in ITW (except vacuum lines). The vacuum system is still operating.

All water lines on TM2 and TM4 are purged for upcoming water lines helium pressure test.

Dan and I leak checked TM2 and ITW primary vacuum vessel. It was found a 1X E-7 atm.cc/sec leak on top T flange seal between TM2 and dump module in first time check. But it is not a repeatable leak. I checked the same spot and around area two more times with increased helium volume.It did not show up again. The first response could  be a helium drift to dry scroll pump. I will check it again later. The primar vacuum vessel on ITW and TM2 are leak free. 

Dan and I found a small  leak on ITW dump module  top flange seal. The leak detector got a response  to 7xE-9 atm.cc/sec when I spray the helium to west side of dump module top flange. We tested again, and got same result. The o-ring which seals ITW dump module top flange is deteriorating. It need to be replaced at a proper time. This is the only air to vacuum leak we confirm so far on primary and secondary vacuum vessel on TM2 and ITW. The module and station no other air to vacuum leak.

The TM2 water lines helium pressure tested started in ITW. The helium pressure 70psi. The result so far is: Window: good, GE: huge leak directly shoot over E-7 atm.cc/sec( need to be confirmed tomorrow), HS: good, EE: good, MSP: tiny leak which is response to 3-4xE-9 atm.cc/sec. Coil 1 : small leak which is response to 1.3XE-8 atm.cc/sec. Tomorrow, We will test the rest water lines on TM2which are TA+, TA-, Tube+, Tube-, and coil 2. And We will confirm the GE huge leak at the last.

Finished the helium pressure test on TM2 water line.70 psi helium, The result of the rests 5 circuits: coil 1: leak 7.2xE-8atm.cc/sec,Ta(+): small leak 1.7XE-8 atm.cc/sec, Ta(-) small leak 8.7xE-9atm.cc/sec,Tube(-) 1.5 x E-8 atm.cc/sec. Tube(+)small leak 3.7xE-8 atm.cc/sec.    We repeated the helium pressure test on GE. There is a huge leak on TM2 GE circuit. The leak detector shoot up to E-7  atm.cc/sec right after the helium was applied.It went up to E-6 range in less than 1 minutes.

TM#1 with UC#15 have been moved from the conditioning station to the west target station.

 All turbo -pumps are started.

After ITW HV test is done, TM1 has been connected to ITW. Water signals are checked in electrical room. They are good.

I did a ITW water signals interlock check with ISAC opp. They are checked once a year before first beam on.

2016-04-13 Same test is done on ITE also. Everything is good.
