TM4 has been connected connect in ITE. Water is supplied to TM4 module only.

CS and TM4 was vented with Argon gas this morning before it was moved from CS to ITE.

The stand was used for transferring UCX11 targte from TH to SHC. The stand wit target was craned down from TH into SHC last week and stayed there over weekend. Chad and I removed the stand out of SHC yesterday. It was heavily contaminated. RPG and I spent more than 3 hours to clean this stand. See the emails I pasted below for  detail information.

Thanks, David, for letting me know about this. Here are survey results after my afternoon in Target Hall:

I spent 1.5 hours on additional decon of the stand, crane hook, and area around where David was doing the decon, finding up to 10k cpm (44-2) on some parts at first. Danka came to help after a bit (THANK YOU, DANKA) and we left the items covered in plastic and surveyed the area. Contamination survey results are as follows, numbers are units of cpm on the 44-2/RM14:

Tacky mats inside TMH door: 6000/2000

Tacky mats in hall before TMH door: 200/0

Tacky mats at boot box: 8000/4000

My booties: 50/0

Air sample at the decon area: 50/60 (also 100 cpm on alpha probe)

Floor swipes post-decon of floor: 0/0

Early results from a 10 min assay of the tacky mats shows predominantly Kr-85, Be-7, Sr-85, Rb-83, and Sr-82. A longer assay is underway.

The following measurements were made using the checking cave at the boot box (units of cpm):

David's respirator cartridges: 160

David's respirator: 0

Davids tank suit and booties: 1200

My suit: 100

My respirator: 0

The rags used for the decon work were contained in a bag and left behind the silos by the DST. This bag measured 240 uSv/h OC and 2 uSv/h at 0.5m

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi all, The UCx#11 target transferring stand is moved back from SHC to TH. However, the stand was heavily contaminated. On the first Windex clean up towel, the counts directly shoot over the 500K counts which is the maximum scales on both RM14 and 44-2. After almost 2 hours, more than 20 times cleaning up with Windex spray and paper towel wipe , the counts dropped below 300 now. It is extremely difficult to clean up this stand.  I dont think we should move the target this way again unless we have a solution on the contamination clean up. The stand is still hanging  on the crane, and waiting for RPG checking.                        Thanks    David

5 Shielding blocks have been transferred from ITW to ITE. The ITE is configured to take proton beam.

Chad and I leak checked TM2 tube heater+(D) circuit at SHC with water bypass loop and new seals installed on the water block. The LD base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec,base pressure0.0xE-4 torr. Chad sprayed helium on the leak check area in SHC for 5 seconds. No any response has been found on LD during 1minutes waiting time. The test was repeated again and the result is same. NO LEAK at this stage!  After the TM2 is moved to CS , The D line will be pressured with 80 psi helium for helium pressure leak test before any hot water is circuited through it.  

I connected TM2 and CS vacuum system. All vacuum pumps on TM2 and CS are started .The pumping down is good so .far

The pumping down on TM2 at CS was good overnight. However, the back up line pressure is still too high for LD to get to 0.0-E-9atm.cc/sec . It only could get to 1.2xE-7 atm.cc/sec. It is not enough for a good leak check . I dont want to have any ambiguous situation on this" D" line leak check. So,I am going to reconfigure the leak detector to the spare KF25 pot on the TM2 service cap. All pumps are stopped . The CS and TM2 will be vented soon. After that, a manual valve will be installed on that spare KF25 pot for future helium pressure check at CS. Then, The TM2 and CS will be pumped down again.

At CS, The leak detector is hooked directly to the TM2 top service cap. The base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0xE-4torr. Applied 80 psi helium to TM2 tube heater +(D) line . During 3 minutes applying time , I did  not see any tiny change on LD readings. The line is perfectly vacuum sealed.  See attachment pictures.

4 shielding blocks have been moved out of  ITE to block storage area. Fiona did the survey and with me during the move.

TM4 waterlines have been disconnected and purged in ITE. The TM4 vacuum system is still in operation.

Last Friday, During the crane per use check, I found the main power supply to to crane was shut off. I was told   Don and Travis shut off the main power before Triumf power outage. Travis restored crane main power and I  could turn on the main relay on radio pedant  in TH.  But, I didnt have all crane main bridge movement controls on TH raido pedant except rotation. I still have all movement controls on small trolley from the radio pedant. When I operated radio pedant, Travis could hear the relay works in crane control room, but in TH no crane movements. It looks like a crane control problem so Dave Morris was contacted. Dave found one of battery on PLC board is dead and need to be replaced.He did order the battery right way. On this Wednesday, Dave noticed us we could temporarily run the crane. I went to T.H  for checking. At the beginning, I found I cant not turn on the crane main relay from radio pedant in TH. Don was in crane control room. He switched the crane control from TH radio  mode to control room pedant( big yellow control box laid on the ground, the mode switch is located on the up left corner of first main panel)  and he turned on the main relay by doing this and got all movement controls from the big yellow pedant. After switching the mode back to TH radio mode I also got all the controls from TH radio pedant. Everything worked fine on crane so we moved the man lift into TH on Wednesday afternoon and arranged the TH crane inspection on Thursday. On Thursday morning, Gordon Crane guys came in TH and started their inspection. At the beginning, everything works fine. But after they did some operation and checks on crane, the crane main relay could not be switched on again (from TH  raid box). The crane inspection job are suspended. RH group tried to active the main relay by switching the mode back to yellow pedant in crane control room just like we did on Wedsday, but it did not work this time. David Morris was contacted to check from his side if anything wrong. He checked and told us the program is working and everything  is good from his side. A crane expert is needed to trouble shoot this problem. Neil Wong is going to bring Gordon crane guys and start to trouble shoot the problem this morning.

Gordon crane technician started TH crane trouble shooting this morning. The problem is found that there is no 115VAC power supply to energize  a main coil which is used to switch on 450V AC power supply to crane. He did a test and found  the crane could be operated  by big yellow pedant in control room when he manually gave the coil 115VAC power supply to energize it.. At that moment, the crane is set to big yellow pedant operating mode. But, he can not figure out why there is no 115VAC power to this coil.The wiring  tracking back is not an easy job for him. The troubleshooting is  stopped now. The job will be resumed on next week with more skilled technician involving in from Gordon crane.

Gordon crane technicians continued their troubleshooting on this Tuesday. They found the crane up-limit protection switch which is installed on the same bracket with the the crane down view camera is broken. The spring inside the limit switch  which is used for pushing the action plunge out in the switch lost its function. This up limit switch is the last protection for the crane so it is set as when it is in action the crane main contact coil  which controls crane  power supply will be in open position. The broken switch is replaced by a new one( same type) on this Wednesday. The crane annual inspection has been  finished after the switch replacement. The crane works fine now.

Dave.Morris installed a new battery on crane control PLC board and uploaded the program. Travis, Dan and I tested the crane in local, remote, and test mode. The crane works fine. Also, the TH lock up has been tested. Everything is good.

Dan and I replaced pedal wheels and coils on ITE water flow sensors. It is a shut down job we did every two years. See attachment for detail.

Dan and I replaced pedal wheels and coils on ITW water flow sensors. It is a shut down job we did every two years. See attachment for detail.

TH shut down activities schedule from Feb 23th-March 25th. The schedule will be updated each week. See attachment 1.

Feb-27-2015: Updated the schedule, and uploaded as PDF file. See attachment 2.

Dan and I leak checked ITE primary and secondary vacuum vessels with TM4  in ITE. The leak detector was hooked to ITE TP2 BV2. Leak detector  base leak rate: 0.0xE-09 atm.cc/sec, base pressure: 0.0xE-4 torr. All secondary vacuum vessel seals has been checked(helium spray), and no leak has been found. On the ITE primary vacuum vessel, we  leak checked every thing except the TM4 service cap and water lines inside the TM4. NO leak has been found on ITE primary vessels. The primary vacuum seals on TM4 service cap and TM4 waterlines(helium pressure test) will be checked at CS later.

5 Shielding blocks have been moved to ITE for next week TM1 move and RPG Radon test.

TH shut down jobs are processing as scheduled this week. Discussed with Don, and we think the jobs scheduled in next week should be processed as we planned. See attachments for updated schedule.

I updated the schedule today. See attachment 3, 4 for updating.  2015-Mar-10.

2013-Mar -13, I updated the schedule to show the jobs we finished this week. See attachment 5,6
