TM2 has been disconnected in ITW (except vacuum lines). The vacuum system is still operating.

I stopped the conditioning station vacuum pumps. The CS is still under vacuum without venting.

Dan and I transferred 4 shielding blocks from ITE to block storage area. The ITE pit is opened now.

Five F-308's were loaded with spent ISAC targets. All five F-308's were serviced two weeks ago. All bolts were torqued and security  cables were installed  for shipment.

 update the schedule weekly. Everything is on time so far. see attachment 3,4.

Update the schedule according to beam new beam schedule and target process. see attachment 5,6

 UPDATE THE SCHEDULE ACCORDING TO CYCLOTRON SIDE JOB. SEE ATTACHMENTS 3,4

Five spent targets have been moved from the Spent Target Vault to Mini Storage in preparation for transfer to F-308s in February. The following targets were moved Ta#35, Ta#39, SiC#27, UC#12, ThO#1

Entered the hot cell to perform final decon on the window. Initial swipes this morning were 11000 c.p.m. on 44-2. After decon approximately 100 counts.

It was found that the conversion from voltage to vacuum (Torr) in EPICS is not correct for the XGS-600 controllers in use at the TCS. EPICS did not correspond to local values displayed on the controller. An e-fault has been submitted.

 EPICS conversion updated and corrected by Mike Rowe.

Another drum of waste was removed from the south hot cell this morning. This drum contained one 5 gal steel pail (damaged), two sodium light bulbs, airlines, and tank suits. Upon removal the drum was/is 1.5 mSv/h on contact. there was 200 counts of contamination found on the lid...easily removed. It will be moved to the north hot cell at 11am.

TM4 has been connected in ITE. All turbo-pumps are started. Everything is good so far.

 After conditioning over the weekend the EE developed a short. This was confirmed by measuring the resistance between EE and Heat Shield on the module yesterday.

TM#4 with UC#14 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

I turned off TCS vacuum and water pumps. The TSC and TM4 are still under vacuum condition.

Weekly update TH schedule according to changes. see attachment 1,2 .

Update TH schedule before the weekend. see attachment 3,4

Ta#46 was placed in the ISAC spent target vault yesterday. See attached PDF for details.

TM4 has been connected at TCS. The water system is started. The TCS HV cover for TM4 is installed also. Basically, The TM4 is ready for conditioning.

I did helium pressure test on TM4 HS line at TCS this morning.  70psi helium 3 minutes, 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec base leak rate. No response. No leak.
