Category: Standard Operation 
Type: Target 1 
Specific: Target 
Subject: T1 target ladder exchange (T1-MK1 to hot cell roof, T1-MK2 from pit to station) 

T1-MK1 was moved from the target station to the hot cell roof. 

Radiation surveys report 140 mSv/hr at 0.5m for the bare T1-MK1 target ladder.

On the hot cell roof, fields are 220uSv/h at 0.5m.

 

T1-MK2 was subsequently transported from the storage pit to the target station. 

 

After the transport operation, the 1A vacuum volume was then pumped down, and reached approximatley 1/10 of the vacuum level prior to venting.

Update: a few hours after the vacuum volume started pumping down, vacuum levels stabilized to the level observed prior to venting (see image) - confirming that the o-ring seal on the target is good and that the transfer operation was a success. 

------------------------------------------ 

During the transport operation we noticed that the chain drive on the target transfer flask was slipping considerably more when powered through the power bar on the camera stand. 

This issue was remedied by powering the transfer flask through a dedicated plug, and will be noted in procedures for future transport operations.
