The spent Ta#66 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault, it was placed in pail#285 and placed in spot 5B of the vault. The target was 46.2mSv/hr when removed from the south hot cell. See the attached PDF for vault details.

Spent target UCx#43 (pail 289) was moved from the South Hot Cell to the Storage Vault, placed in location 2A. Dose rate at 1m was approximately 22.6 mSv/hr.

Target index spreadsheet updated, attached.

 The UC#45 target was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. It was place in Pail#292 spot 1A of the vault, was 19.5mSv/hr. Also this pail contains the target material of UC#44. See attached PDF for more details.

 SiC#46 (pail 293) was placed in the vault (spot 3B) on Wednesday the 14^th of August. It was 111 mSv/hr when removed from the south hot cell. See attached PDF for details.

 TIC#7 was placed in pail #294 and then moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault spot 4B. It was 82.3mSv/hr when removed from the SHC. See attached PDF for details.

 Nb#10 was placed in pail#295 and moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault, spot 4A, it was 230uSv/hr when removed from the SHC. See attached PDF for vault details.

 On Friday October 11th TiC#8 and Ta#67 were place in the spent target vault in Tray 8. See attached PDF for details. 

 TiC#9 was placed in Pail 299 in spot 8A of the vault and was 92.1mSv/hr when removed from the south hot cell. See attached pdf for full vault details.

UC#46 was placed in pail# 301 in spot 1B and was 26.3mSv/hr when removed from the SHC. See attached PDF for vault 
details.

 The spent UC#47 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault placed in pail #302 in spot 1C of the vault, it was 24.5mSv/hr when removed from the south hot cell. See attached for vault details.

 The spent UC#48 target was removed from the North Hot Cell, place in pail#303 and put into vault spot 2C, it was 35.4mSV/hr when removed from the NHC. See attached PDF for vault details.

All targets but one ( SiC#31 went in last week) have been measured or assayed. See attached PDF for the details.

For the week of November 7th 2011, four of a possible ten targets that are in storage were assayed. Targets are as follows:

Target             General average field @ 1 metre from edge of pail

SiC#24           1.99 mSv/hr

Nb#4               3.89 mSv/hr

Ta#25              4.57 mSv/hr

Ta#37              0.47 mSv/hr

These four are all viable spent targets to be shipped. We still need another couple of days of "UNINTERRUPTED" time to assay the remaining six targets, for us to have enough to make a ship of five to Chalk River.

Spent target assay completed. A total of 16 target were looked at, 13 were low enough to be assayed and those 13 are at shippable levels, the other 3 of the 16 looked at were too hot to ship and assay. See attached pdf for complete details.

Ten targets have been assayed or had field measurements(they were too hot to ship but were assayed the last time an assay was done) done on them  over the past two days. Of those that have been assayed we have total of ten shippable targets. See the attached PDF for the latest details of the storage vault.

 The spent target assay was aborted today after the first target was finished due to the very old computer that controls the camera and the vault door effectively died. The vault door had to be closed using the emergency door closing winch which worked so it passed that test.

 All targets in the ISAC Spent Target Vault have been either assayed and had field measurement done on them or just measurement if to hot to assay.

The special tool made for the RFQ target autopsy has been inserted into the hot cell.

4-40 button head screws have been successfully lossened.

The linear actuator used for the Y-motion motor assistance on the spare telemanipulator was replaced and tested. It was observed around September 2021 that the former one which was installed was causing fuses to blow for the main 120 VAC power supply in the control box. After some troubleshooting, it was determined that the linear actuator itself did not operate smoothly - it was suspected that this caused motor overload due to additional friction. This suspicion was confirmed by operating the linear actuator independently with a power supply and measuring current draw. The part has been replaced by Thomson PPA90-58B65-08NXXX. Note: this part took over 1 year to arrive since it was first ordered. The spare telemanipulator is confirmed operational.

Update 2024-09-11: noting that this was for serial number 9351

 During this repair it was noted that the Y-axis electrical translation is locked out when the Z-axis is in the fully retracted position (i.e. the Z-axis limit switch engaged). I have made a note of this in the operator manual (CRLD-1046-B Rev1 ) which can be found in docushare collection 26780
