TM#2 with Nb#8 has been moved from the south hot cell to the west target station.

TM2 has been connected to ITW. All turbo pumps are started. See attachment for connection checklist.

Maico and Travis moved blocks from ITE to ITW yesterday

The 2A2M19 beam profile monitor did not work and was e-faulted. After initial troubleshooting 2 blocks were removed form ITW to inspect the entrance module where the beam monitor is installed. The cable was found not to be connected and was quickly fixed. Blocks reinstalled. The work was done by Maico, Travis and Anders

ITW Entrance Module was leak checked yesterday with the support of Vacuum Group (Dimo & Edi). The leak detector was connected to primary backing vacuum line. A leak response was found near the bellow for the beam profile monitor on top of the Entrance Module. It could be confirmed today by actuating the monitor, that the leak was indeed at that location. The plan is to move the TM and Entrance Module out for target exchange and repair, respectively. Drawings of the device available on ITA0200and ITA5128

 TM#2 with Nb#8 has been moved from ITW to the south hot cell.

 TM#2 with UC#23 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

The heat shield water lines were not purged ahead of target exchange in the hot cell. This resulted in water leaking onto the new target assembly (heat shield) when the cooling lines were opened at top and bottom (for connecting leak detector). Excess water was wiped up with paper towels.

 Both the West Entrance and TM#2 with UC#23 have been moved back into their places in the west target station. The Entrance module move wasn't completely smooth as it did suffer a little bumpiness when the shield plug part was installed, I was lifted back out again and no visible damage was observed on the delicate items.

 Electrical Checks of the last two targets Ta#56 and UC#23

 TM#2 with UC#23 has been moved from ITW to the south hot cell. The shield plug was also installed remotely as well.

 Results of the electrical check on TM#2 with no target after Chad cleaned out the bolt hole on the module where the target mounts.

 TM#2 with the nSiC#1 target had its check done on it at the south hot cell see attached for results.

 TM#2 with nSiC#1 has been moved from the south hot cell to the west target station.

TM2 was disconnected in ITW this Tuesday. See attachment for checklist.

Tm2 with SiC nano has been connected in ITW. See attachment for checklist

UC#23 experienced short between target and heat shield as it was heated during operation. The inspection of the target after irradiation revealed that the left target leg was close to the heat shield opening and likely the cause of the short. Marks could be seen on the leg indicating contact. See attached photo. More photos are available on DocuShare

On September 18th installation of nSiC#1 was attempted on TM2. As usual, new fasteners were tested previous to insertion into hot cell and employed during installation. the last fastener to be installed was for the circuit D block. The fastener/air ratchet stalled immediately indicating a problem. The fastener was removed and a an attempt was made trying a new spare fastener. That fastener also jammed right away but could not be removed or installed any further.

A breaker bar was employed to achieve more torque and the fastener was able to be loosened, although it would not come completely out, dangling and wobbling like it was free. A claw type bar was used to add slight pressure to the fastener while it was loosened allowing the fastener to undo the rest of the way.

Target was removed and discovered that that insulator supporting circuit c and d blocks was quite broken and that a few chunks had fallen off. It was also notice that boefore the breaker bar had been employed that a piece of ceramic was on the table suggesting that the ceramic had been at least partially broken at the time of removal of the previous target. Also, the threads of the insert for circuit d showed damage an swarf.

Swarf was vacuum claned out of the circuit d thread insert and a machine tap ran through the insert twice.

nSiC#1 was reinstalled with new waterline gaskets and new c and d circuit fasteners with a little bit of the first 2-3 threads lightly coated with vacuum grease.

High current fasteners torqued to 130 in lbs.

TM2(SiC nano) has been disconnected in ITW. See attachment

 Modules were moved, ITW EX2 was moved from the conditioning station to the west target station and TM#2 ,with nSiC#1,  was moved from the west target station to the south hot cell.
