The warm cell water window tanks were filled on September 17 after 2 weeks of curing time.  A water leak was found coming from the seals of a plastic pipe joining the two tanks near the top.  This was repaired using rubber gaskets and quick cure caulking.  The tank was refilled on September 18 and no longer leaked from that location.  The sand filter was backflushed with the water exhausted to the grass area outside the hot cell lab until the water ran clear.  The pump was then started with the water circulating normally through the filter.  Small water leaks were observed coming from 3 of the 4 plastic ball valves on the filter loop piping.  These leaks stopped after approximately 3 days of continuous running, and are still leak tight now.

During this repair job it was observed that the support wheels for the warm cell manipulators are crumbling and should be replaced before the next time the manipulators are used.
