The spent Ta#48 was moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. I was placed in pail 139 and is in spot 6C in the vault. It was 201mSv/hr when measured at the hot cell. See the attached PDF for the latest results.

I connected TM2 to TCS and started water system.

 Wednesday, July 06, 2016, 15:23: RGA on. IGs on

Friday, July 08, 2016, 17:07: Stopped cooling system due to a problem with the chiller. Will continue with HV conditioning on Monday.

Monday, July 11, 2016, 08:08: Cooling system started. Operating CP1 manually to control temperature

Monday, July 11, 2016, 09:38: BIAS / EL / EE to 10 / 5 / 1 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 09:41: BIAS / EL / EE to 20 / 10 / 1.5 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 09:47: BIAS / EL / EE to 30 / 15 / 1.5 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 10:01: BIAS / EL / EE to 40 / 20 / 2.0 kV - one spark at 40 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 10:38: BIAS / EL / EE to 45 / 22.5 / 2.0 kV - conditioning from 40 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 10:40: BIAS / EL / EE to 45 / 22.5 / 2.3 kV

Monday, July 11, 2016, 12:21 : No sparks for the last 60 min.

Monday, July 11, 2016, 12:21: BIAS / EL / EE off to investigate TGHT / TBHT PS problem (power surge this morning)

Monday, July 11, 2016, 13:07: Power cycled TGHT / TBHT PS. Alarm cleared. Tested both to 10 A

The TCS and TM2 are pumping down.

TM#2 with SiC#33 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

Electrical check done on TM#2 with Ta#48, no target and SiC#33 the short on the coils to 60kV is still present it is on the R-U coil line. See attached PDFs for details.

Ta#48 has been removed from TM2 and SiC#33 installed.

I switched off the vacuum pumps and vented TCS with argon. The TCS will be ready to accept TM2 this afternoon.

TM2 was disconnected in ITW and moved to SHC.

The five spent target F308  flasks where gone through in accordance with Nordion guidelines, the sixth spare is remains in the Hot Cell area. All flasks where in reasonable shape with two needing weld repairs on the pallets. I replaced all the 3/4" pallet to flask fasteners with new Grade 8 bolts nut and washer combo. Flasks have been moved into the Hot Cell area awaiting movement into the Target Hall.

The spent target assay were finally started or re-started today. Four targets were done today.

June 29 2016 another four targets were done today.

June 30 2016 all targets have assayed and measured. see the attached PDFs for the results.

ITE is configured to take proton beam.

The spent target vault door does not open or close. The emergency door closing did have to be used to close the door as it was locked in an open position, the door stopped just off the open override limit. The door was closed and the spent target that was being assayed was placed into the mini storage. The problem with the door appears to be related to the motor itself, as all the controls to the motor appear to be in working order. Also it was noticed on the emergency door closing winch the wire rope has a kink in it from sitting in open position for so long this can cause the wire rope to jump from the pulleys.

6/27/2016  Dan McDonald. Replacement motor was ordered from Beaver Industries Friday the 24th received this morning the 27th. Once received Travis wired the motor to its proper operating orientation. Once the motor was wired  it was  set it up and plugged it in to test rotation and control function, at this point we disconnected the motor and re installed it to the gear box. Ran three open close sequences to ensure all was well. In the case of the emergency cable system a plan is being developed to correct the cable slack and kinking problem. We went ahead and ordered a spare  vault motor which is located in the RH Machine Shop 

The spent Ta#47 target has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. It was placed in pail #137 in spot 4C of the vault. It was 114mSv/hr upon removal from the vault.

TM4 and ITE are under roughing now.

TM#4 with UC#16 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

The TM4 and TCS are vented with argon. 

Weekly update .

It is ready for HV conditioning/ heating. 

I did a helium pressure test on TM4 at TCS with UCX16 target installed on the module. No leak has been found on all using water lines in TM4. See attachment for detail.
