Helium leak checked 2a3 window after installing using remote line:

- There was a leak found between the target and entrance module at the target pit, rate of 9E-6 atm-cc/sec.

- One test performed with the remote helium line to the window. There was a response but the leak detector was located above the window access channel, drift cannot be ruled out.

- 3 more tests performed with vacuum group, with leak detector relocated farther away from ITE and isolated with plastic. 2 tests using remote line had no response. One test done with a wand through 2a3 wall penetration had a response of 3.2E-9 atm-cc/sec (not using remote line).

Vacuum group (D. Yosifov) comments that due to the much larger leak at the top of the tank he cannot say with confidence the response seen is a leak at the window (due to leak at top) but if there is, a tolerable leak rate.

TM#3 with TiC#4 has been moved from the east station to the south west silo.

ITE target module flange seal has been replaced.The flan surface and the o-ring groove have been cleaned with Acetone before the new seal is installed. See attached picture.

ITE entrance module has been disconnected and the lifting yoke is installed for module move. See attached pictures.

The entrance module was out a new seal went in and then the entrance module went back, and then TM#3 went back. So all modules are now back in place in the east target station.

ITE entrance module flange seal had been replaced yesterday.The flange and the seal groove were cleaned with Acetone before the new seal is installed. See pictures

ITE TM3, entrance module, and 2A3 window flange seals have been leak checked this morning after 2 new seals replacement.The LD base leak rate was 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec,  base pressure was 0.0 XE-4 Torr. I sprayed lots helium around the TM3, entrance module and 2A3 flange seals. No any response had been found on LD during the  spraying. All three flanges are sealed perfectly now.

Friedhelm Ames commented to me that there appears to be a short between High Voltage and Ground at TM3 at ITE.

Friedhelm, Anders and I initiated a survey by Andrew from RPG, and entered the Target Hall at approximately 5pm to visually assess the HV cover at the MAA.  There was no clear indication of a problem.  We opted to wait for David to return as we weren't sure exactly what we were looking for.

Friedhelm and Anders confirmed in the Electrical Room that the short is in the Target Hall.

Anders and I opened the HV cover in ITE and did  a visual check inside ITE HV  cover and top of TM3.Bill was with us and took the pictures. There was nothing obviously wrong when we opened the HV cover in ITE. We disconnected TM3 high current cables from ITE. Then we did an electrical check on TM3.The TM3 was good and passed megga test (465Mohm at 500V). The module was good and was separated electrically from the ITE at that moment. Then, we went back to electrical room and measured the resistance between bias and ground with ground bar opened and power supply disconnect. It was still shorted at that moment .We thought the short is located inside HV chase between electrical room and ITE. Then, we went back to ITE again and reconnected TM3 back to ITE. We wiped two blue nylon insulators between bias and ground, and no obviously spark track or dirty on them. We put HV cover back in ITE locked area, and went back to electrical room again.We decided to do a final electrical check there. We thought the short should be still there and we just want to confirm it . But this time the short  is gone. Everything goes back to normal.   The short disappeared and We test bias to 5KV and the current looks normal now.  

TM#3 with SiC#30 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.

I reconnected TM3 in ITE. All turbo pumps have been started. The water supply to TM3 only in ITE. The HV keys are back to electrical room.

There were some problems this morning with provision of FEBIAD gas to the the target at ITE.  It was suspected that the gas line was improperly connected to the module, or that the valves at the module were not opened.

Remote Handling was asked to open the HV cover on TM3 at ITE and check the connection of the FEBIAD gas line.  Grant Minor, Maico Dalla Valle, Dan McDonald, and Anders Mjos entered the Target Hall before lunch on Work Permit I2014-07-07-1.

Maico entered ITE with suit and respirator, disengaged / disconnected the interlocks and removed the HV cover.  He inspected the FEBIAD gas line and found that it was properly connected, and that the valves were both open.  The gas line is shown in the attached image, with both valves marked in red.

Grant and Anders went into the electrical room to examine the supply gas bottle and supply circuit, and found that the supply gas pressure to the regulating valve was low.  It was concluded that the problem was not at the Target Module / Target Station.

Grant returned to the Target Station and instructed Maico to replace the HV cover.  After this was done, Grant confirmed with Jon Aoki over the phone that the interlock switch signals were both reading "OK".

Friedhelm Ames made an entry in today's ISAC Ops e-log regarding the supply pressure to the regulating valve.

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

ITE Entrance module has been moved back to the east station.

ITE entrance module is reconnected in ITE.

TM4 is connected in ITE. All ITE  turbo pumps are started. I will check the pumping down process tomorrow morning. Everything is fine so far.

ITE TP4S was broken down last night . I stopped the ITE pumps and vented station with Argon this morning. Edi and I replaced the broken pump with a new pump. The ITE is under roughing now.

TM4 has been disconnected and moved to SHC from ITE. ITE was vented with argon before move.

TM#4 with Ta#44 has been moved from the south hot cell to the east target station.
