ELOG RH-ISAC

Hello all,

Access was required this morning to the TCS TK2 Expansion Tank to open a valve and re-fill the tank.

As the access path to this tank lacked any form of Fall Protection, Fall Arrest was employed.

Worksafe BC Part 11 Section 11.2 requires fall protection to be employed at elevations greater than 3 meters. The expansion tank is located at an elevation far exceeding this regulation.
http://www2.worksafebc.com/publications/ohsregulation/part11.asp

The worker, Allon Messenberg, was fitted with a harness, personal self-retracting lifeline / lanyard with shock-pack, and carried two steel rope ring-ended slings with him to tie off to the structural beams overhead. All products used were DBI-Sala safety products, which are kept in the Remote Handling machine shop Fall Protection Equipment lockers. Several RH group members have keys to this locker, including me.

Three configurations were required to gain access to the tank (photo attached):
Configuration 1: Traversing the section between the 2nd floor offices and the ventilation duct.
Configuration 2: Traversing the section between the ventilation duct and the "cross point" of the structural beams.
Configuration 3: Tied-off to the "cross point" of the structural beams and working within the reach limits of the personal SRL and shock-pack.

Transitions between the three configurations required brief moments of un-clipping from the harnesses. This will be solved in the future via the use of additional carabiners and lanyards.

Operations has advised me that they have observed either TRIUMF workers or contractors working in this area without wearing Fall Arrest equipment. My request is for staff and operations to stay vigilant in observing access to this area.

Any work performed in this area without the usage of fall arrest must be reported in an NCR.

I welcome any comments from those who have ideas for improving the safe method of access to this tank.

The cooling package is described in the TCS operating manual, Document-103881. Page 8 states clearly that Fall Arrest is required to access this valve.

Regards,

Grant

e-fault submitted and Niel Wong has been contacted.

Niel Wong came and had a look at the system. We decided to close the circuit as the water is no longer used with the new power supplies. The circuit will be monitored, but not repaired unless it is needed again.

The valved off water circuit has been valved off and TCS:WFB2:BIASSW1 and TCS:TCM2:BIASSW1 have been removed from the power supply interlock chain by Dave Morris.

Due to the water leak, the expansion tank needed topping up. It was filled from 14 in to 20 in. See work permit I2014-12-15-2.

Dave Morris looked at the PLC controls and found that the code was not writing to the output after the PLC migration. He corrected it.

helium pressure test on TM2 tube heater +(D) water lines.

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.

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.

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