The spent source tray for TM#3 has been removed from the south hot cell and well be placed in the the hot cell ante room. To sit till maintenance day to be moved over to the vault storage tunnels.

TM3 Rev 2 source tray/extraction column insertion into its storage was completed yesterday and it was then removed from the hot cell and put into the anteroom until June 25th when it will be moved into the vault tunnel.

The Box did have 10000 counts of contamination "all over" it. It has recieved inital decontamination and is down to 1000 counts.

the warm cell mock-up has been inserted into the warm cell and final preparation for the remote test are being made.

The testing of the mock-up and tooling has commenced.

Source tray mock-up has been driven into the mock-up and the first two water block connections have been made; the first with the torque limiting 
T-handle tool and the second with the torque limiting air rachet attachment. Both seem to work well, although achieving the required torque with the manipulators proved to be near the limit of the manipulator.

All water block connections on the mock-up have bben achieved. It is now ready for leak checking.

The front half of the water block jig proved extremely difficult to remove.

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 Mock-up has been leak tested after the remote connection of the water blocks and is leak tight!

Thanks everybody who contributed to its success.

Chad and I leak checked the TM1 UCx target heat shield at SHC. No leak has been found so far.

The polishing/cleaning tool prototype is now finished and appers to work great.

Thanks to Dan and Maico for the great job making my design a reality.

Tm3 Rev.2 source tary has been transfered to the vault tunnel storage.

Ta#39 has been transferred to spent target storage vault. Ta#39 was placed into pail #106 and placed into spot of 4C of the spent target vault. The pail measured 95.8mSv/hr upon removal from the hot cell. See attached PDF for details.

I have inspected the service tray water block and suggest that they SHOULD be cleaned/polished before we install the new source tray.

The water blocks have slight water scalling to the inside of the ID of where the c seals locate.

I have taken two close up  pictures of each water block for reference and to document their current state. They can be found at http://documents.triumf.ca/docushare/dsweb/View/Collection-10841
 

TM4 has been disconnected in ITE. All water lines on TM4 have been purged. ITE is venting now.

Leak checked TM3 without source tray in CS this morning. The CS and TM3 vacuum: IG1(top of the TM3 service cap)4.9x E-7Torr, IG2(diagnostic box  primary)1.9XE-6 Torr. IG1S (secondary vessel)7.9X E-7Torr. The leak detector was at 0.0XE-4 torr and 0.0XE-9 atm.cc/sec level during the leak checked. All water lines quick connector fittings, NPT thread fittings, water cap seals, blue insulator seals, bellow, gauges seals, turbo-pumps, all blanket panels,and TM3 to CS vessel seal have been sprayed with helium and leak checked. No leak has been found. The TM3 is leak tight in CS.

CS water cooling and vacuum system have been turned off at 10:00 AM this morning.The TM3 will be disconnected and moved to silo tomorrow morning.

to reduce the radioactive shining from  SHC Ta# 40 target.

TM4 has been connected in ITE. All turbo pumps have been started now. The pumping down on TM4 and ITE is good so far. The water interlock check on TM4 is done,and everything is fine. The ITE  IG1 still couldnt be turned on even if we replaced a new TM4  IG1 at CS. The problem is on the connecting cable from ITE to electrical room or gauge controller. I talked with Friedhelm  and vacuum group will be noticed on this problem.

Five spent targets have been removed from the storage vault and placed into the mini storage. The target placed into the mini storage are UO#3, UC#'s  3,4,5 and SIC#23. See attached PDFs for vault details.

All the F-308's have been torqued up  and the locks installed. Ready to be moved.
