5 shielding blocks have  been transferred from  ITW to ITE. ITE ventilation is opened, and ITW closed. All ITE water  signals have been checked for frequency and strength.They are all good. ITE is ready for taking proton beam.

The Nb#6 target has been moved from the south hot cell into storage. It was place in pail #95 and is in slot 5C of the vault. See attached file for more details.

and set up ventilation for ITW. ITW is ready for taking proton beam now. All water interlock checks for ITW are done. The ITW water signals strength and frequency had been checked from electrical room, and everything is good.

SiC#27 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. Target was placed in pail #96, placed in slot 3A, the fields at the hot cell were 178mSv/hr. For the latest on the vault see attached document.

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.

 Turns out I am just not very observant. David had turned the main break to the crane off as a result when he turned it back on this morning the crane magically started working again.

Today (Wednesday July 18th) at around 4:15 pm I was taking a small tour group from VECC into the Target Hall. In the process of discussing the mechanical design of the Target Modules and South Hot Cell turntable I inadvertently lifted the Aluminum Hatch Cover of the Hot Cell about 2 inches in an effort to explain something. This tripped the ventilation alarm before I realized what I was doing. I evacuated the visitors from the Target Hall, checked booties and gloves at the check station before having the visitors step over the boot box. I called operations and let them know what I had done. The Target Hall was locked out and is awaiting a survey for the morning of July 19th before work can proceed.

Ta#38 was moved from the south Hot Cell to the Spent Target Vault. Target is in pail #97, and was placed into tray 6 slot B of the vault. Field around the pail upon removal from the Hot Cell were 226mSv/hr at about 1/2 metre. See attached PDF for vault details.

 I replaced ITW TP4S today as we scheduled. The working area is swiped and air sampled .Everything is fine.

The Series # of the old pump is 200927, and the new one is 600080. The E-fault 6081 which is related to the job will be closed.

Prob guys replaced broken air lines on ITW HARP 5B Cylinder.Several shielding blocks had been moved out to make the cylinder accessible. After the replacement,the HARP5B works fine.All shield blocks had been moved back to original position. The job is done.

Entered south hot cell Wednesday and replaced the pre-filter air filter as well as the front two light bulbs. Also removed two bags of compressible garbage, one bag of metal, and of course the bagged air filter (as Joe M. expressed as interest in havung it).

Inital checks found approximately 4000 cpm on the cell side of the temporary Al. panel used during the cell entry, 2000 cpm on the tacky mats layed out beside the work area but nothing on the floor under the plastic that had been layed down for the job.

The spent UO#3 was moved from the south hot cell to the storage vault. It was in pail 98 and placed in spot 1A of the vault, the field measured upon removal from the hot cell were 42mSv/hr. See attached PDF for vault details.

UCx#4 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target vault. The target was placed in pail #99 and now resides in spot 3C of the vault. It measured 55.3mSv/hr at ~1m from the hot cell. See attached PDF for further spent target vault details.

Grant and I replaced the conditioning station broken  srcoll pump with a refurbished scroll pump which is supplied by vacuum group. The replaced pump is bagged and waiting for RPG further survey in target hall . The target hall is survey after the job, and everything is fine.

The NiO #1 spent target was placed into storage today. It is in pail number 01 (101 on Vault Status page) and located in slot 4A of the vault. It was 35.5 mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell. See attached PDF for vault details.

The F-308 have been cleaned and serviced. There were three F-308's that came back with some contamination.#13, #15 and #19 were found to have contamination. They were decontaminated. All of the loose contamination was removed. There is still some fixed contamination. The levels of contamination are low enough to still be used for shipping spent targets. They have been moved to the north hot cell area and are ready for to be filled with spent targets. 

This week six targets and the two source trays were assayed and surveyed from the storage vault. see attached PDF for details.

Nb#7 was moved from the south hot cell to the target storage vault. The target was placed in pail #103 in slot 6A of the vault and had a reading of 178 mSv/hr upon removal from the south hot cell. See attached PDF for full vault details.

Five spent targets have been moved from the storage vault to the mini storage vault. The five targets are as follows: SiC #25, Ta #34, Ta #32, Ta #31, Nb #4. See the attached PDFs for full details.
