I disconnected TM1 in ITW yesterday morning.The general radioactive level in ITW over the TM top (300mm) is about 350 usv/hr. contacting level on TP1 and TP2 are 1.0-1.2 msv/hr. I took 0.22 msv dose .The module is moved to

south hot cell later and a shielding plug is put back to ITW. Everything is fine.

and set up ventilation for ITW. ITW is ready for taking proton beam now. All water interlock checks for ITW are done. The ITW water signals strength and frequency had been checked from electrical room, and everything is good.

Chad and i did a leak check on TM3 heat shield and window circuits.Both circuits are pumped easily down to the bottom leak rate and base pressure on the leak detector. There are two VCR caps on heat shield circuit. Chad sprayed helium on both of them   ( tested individually,2 seconds every time ) . There is no response on leakdetecor during 45 seconds waiting time. On window circuit there are 2 VCR joints. Chad sprayed helim on these joints(2seconds for each), and no response on leak detector. All joints  are double checked(sprayed twice on each of them). The result is they are leak tight.

I disconnected TM4 in ITE this morning. The window circuit and heat shield circuit had been purged. The general field inside ITE is about 200usv/h.

In the AM today David and I used the crane to raise the ground plate sheet metal into place. This afternoon when I attempted to return the crane to its usual place I discovered that the crane no longer worked. Upon further inspection it appears that the PLC has lost power. I will follow up on this Monday morning. The crane is not supporting any load at this point.

 Turns out I am just not very observant. David had turned the main break to the crane off as a result when he turned it back on this morning the crane magically started working again.

Today (Wednesday July 18th) at around 4:15 pm I was taking a small tour group from VECC into the Target Hall. In the process of discussing the mechanical design of the Target Modules and South Hot Cell turntable I inadvertently lifted the Aluminum Hatch Cover of the Hot Cell about 2 inches in an effort to explain something. This tripped the ventilation alarm before I realized what I was doing. I evacuated the visitors from the Target Hall, checked booties and gloves at the check station before having the visitors step over the boot box. I called operations and let them know what I had done. The Target Hall was locked out and is awaiting a survey for the morning of July 19th before work can proceed.

  All water interlock checks for ITE had been done. The ITE water signals strength and frequency(Espcially on MSP circuit) had been checked from electrical room, and everything is good.

 I replaced ITW TP4S today as we scheduled. The working area is swiped and air sampled .Everything is fine.

The Series # of the old pump is 200927, and the new one is 600080. The E-fault 6081 which is related to the job will be closed.

I moved 5 shielding blocks from ITE  to ITW.ITW is configured to take proton beam now.

Prob guys replaced broken air lines on ITW HARP 5B Cylinder.Several shielding blocks had been moved out to make the cylinder accessible. After the replacement,the HARP5B works fine.All shield blocks had been moved back to original position. The job is done.

I disconnected TM 4 in ITE on AUG 29th morning.The vacuum lines stay untouched and they will be disconnected on SEP 04th.

Entered south hot cell Wednesday and replaced the pre-filter air filter as well as the front two light bulbs. Also removed two bags of compressible garbage, one bag of metal, and of course the bagged air filter (as Joe M. expressed as interest in havung it).

Inital checks found approximately 4000 cpm on the cell side of the temporary Al. panel used during the cell entry, 2000 cpm on the tacky mats layed out beside the work area but nothing on the floor under the plastic that had been layed down for the job.

ITE MSP water circuit flow wheel was replaced yesterday due to poor performance.

Grant and I replaced the conditioning station broken  srcoll pump with a refurbished scroll pump which is supplied by vacuum group. The replaced pump is bagged and waiting for RPG further survey in target hall . The target hall is survey after the job, and everything is fine.

Bevan and I transferred five shielding blocks from ITW to ITE. ITE is ready for taking proton beam.

The F-308 have been cleaned and serviced. There were three F-308's that came back with some contamination.#13, #15 and #19 were found to have contamination. They were decontaminated. All of the loose contamination was removed. There is still some fixed contamination. The levels of contamination are low enough to still be used for shipping spent targets. They have been moved to the north hot cell area and are ready for to be filled with spent targets. 

This week six targets and the two source trays were assayed and surveyed from the storage vault. see attached PDF for details.

Attached are pre-removal pictures of NB#7 and the inside face of the containment box cover before cleaning.
