Repair of the west side manipulator in the west hot cell was completed today. Part of the repair was done by entering the hot cell using double tank suits and supplied air. The repair was then completed on the master side of the manipulator. The manipulator is now operating smoothly.
Two sales representatives from Central Research Labs visited TRIUMF today as they were already in Vancouver on other business. I showed them the RH Lab manipulators and received hourly and daily service charge estimates if repair of the east hot cell (junk cell) manipulators requires one of their experts to come in. |
