While working on the leak repair of the T1-MK2 target in the hot cell on Friday April 20th, a cable snapped on the slave end of the right side manipulator. It is suspected to be the 'Y' shaped cable assembly that actuates the grippers when the lever is pulled on the master end.
The target repair job cannot continue until the manipulator is repaired. The repair job may take up to a full week, and will require space in the Remote Handling lab as well as use of the house crane, therefore the job will have to be scheduled strategically to avoid interfering with the M20 Q1/Q2 magnet repair which is on critical path and also requires use of the crane. |
