TM2 with new target Ta#67 was connected in ITE, all TP are running at their full speed now.

TM2 with Ta#target has been moved from SHC to ITE. the move is smooth.

 TM2 with spent target Ta#67 was disconnected in ITE. see attachment pls.

Tm2 has been moved form SHC to ITE. The move is smooth.

 TM2 with new target Ta#68 installed is connected in ITE. Pls see form attached.

TM2 with spent target TA#68 was disconnected  in ITE and is being moved to SHC. All water lines are purged for module storage.

TM3 with new target UCx#47 was connected in ITE right after be moved from TCS. 

ITE primary and secondary vacuum vessel leak check for 2025 shut down have been done. No leak.  The TM3 waterlines helium pressure test will be done at TCS when module is there.

TM3 water lines helium pressure test  are done. 70 psi helium 3 minutes to each line( except HS which has no target on it ) . leak detector base leak rate :0.0Xe-9 atm.cc/sec. No leak on all tested water lines.Helium were purged out after test. and 60 psi nitrogen were filled in lines for storage. 

 TM3 with spent target UCx#47 was disconnected in ITE and will be moved to SHC.

• Ed has the voltage already up to 1000 V. Starting further ramp up in 250 V increments.

• Current was quite stable with basically no noise, and increasing with voltage until 57.5 kV, when the current spiked from 180 uA to a peak of 308 uA and the voltage dropped a little bit for a single data point. Kept it here for a few second and then dropped it back down a couple steps. Currently at 57 kV and the average current is about the same as before (181 uA), but the noise is significantly higher (+/- 10 uA).
• Been at 57 kV for about 5 minutes and no change in the noise. Will try continuing ramp.
• 57.25 kV: Current is ~193 uA with +/- 20 uA noise.
• Gonna go with 250 V step every 5 minutes from here on until 60 kV.

• Seemed like it was having some trouble at 58 kV, and then at 58.25 kV it was fine for about a minute and just starting sparking constantly, and would not calm down after a minute. Some sparks caused a positive voltage swing up to 65 kV, and with currents as high as ~4000 uA.
• Ramped voltage down in steps back to 56.75 kV. It's still getting about 10-11 sparks per 5 minutes.
• Trying 56.5 kV. 8 sparks in 5 minutes, one positive.
• Trying 56.25 kV. 3 very small voltage drops in 5 minutes.
• Trying 56 kV. No voltage drops in 5 minutes. Current is on average ~204 uA, with +/- 20 uA of noise.

• 1.5 hours at 56 kV. 2 small sparks over this time. Current was about 195 uA on average with about +/- 20 uA of noise. A spark will usually result in a change of the average current following the spark until the next.
• Ramping down voltage now. The amount of noise decreases quickly with voltage and is basically gone at 53 kV.
• Power supply off.
• Dumped data to https://isacwserv.triumf.ca/onlylocal/isacdata/ITE_HV_test_shutdown2025.txt

Conclusion: ITE seems good up to 56 kV.

ITE water signals interlock annual check is done today. all interlocks work . No issue.

 David and I cleaned both cages in ISAC1 electric room, all done.

A safety walkaround for July 2024 was completed for the B2 level by A. Newsome. No deficiencies to report.

Results can be found in the master spreadsheet

A safety walkaround was completed for the ISAC Hot Cells and Target Hall Areas.

The resulting spreadsheet can be found on DocuShare as Document-242733.

Main deficiencies identified:

• Hot Cells:
  • Phone not working at North hot cell operator station
• Target Hall:
  • Uncertain if NHC and SHC ventilation pressure gauges have recently been inspected

Action has been taken on all deficiencies.

 Resolution comment / Commentaire de résolution:

     Fixed issue by changing patch cord that was connected to the switch from patch panel.

Emile V

all water lines on TM2 have been purged. Refilled them(except HS ) with 60psi nitrogen for module silo storage before next year using. 

A safety walkaround was completed for the ISAC Hot Cells and Target Hall Areas.

The resulting spreadsheet can be found on DocuShare as Document-242733.

Main deficiencies identified:

• Hot Cells:
  • NHC right manipulator gripper stuck (known, repair planned)
• Target Hall:
  • 50% of overhead light bulbs burnt out (David Wang contacted Electrical Services to rectify)
  • One RH camera for target pit not working (Travis Cave notified)

Action has been taken on all deficiencies.

ITH:MP1 is deteriorating by watching on ITH:CG1 and CG2 readings and investigation in pit. A fault 17644 has been issued. this pump will be replaced in March when general fielding in vacuum pit is reasonable for the job.

A safety walkaround was completed for the ISAC Hot Cells and Target Hall Areas.

The resulting spreadsheet can be found on DocuShare as Document-242733.

Main deficiencies identified:

• Hot Cells:
  • Overdue fire extinguisher inspection
  • NHC oil level depleted - to be filled
  • SHC breathable air certification expired (may have been checked but just not updated - to follow up)
  • SHC left manipulator tong cable snapped (planned May 22 repair)
• Target Hall:
  • NHC depression indicator calibration expired and reading is 0 (requested mech services to check this in Oct 2024)

Action has been, or will be, taken on all deficiencies.

In the AM today David and I used the crane to raise the ground plate sheet metal into place. This afternoon when I attempted to return the crane to its usual place I discovered that the crane no longer worked. Upon further inspection it appears that the PLC has lost power. I will follow up on this Monday morning. The crane is not supporting any load at this point.
