Diagnostics group (Shengli Liu) noted a lack of connectivity between control panel and T2 Protect Monitor via the high voltage cable. Upon inspection
it was noted:
The cable was very brittle due to radiation exposure and it was cracking in multiple places
In the SHV connector, the |

2018 Cyclotron lid up problem. Station #9 was found to have the motor wires along the beam plain had damaged wire insulation. There were
bare wires in the conduit resulting in the wires shorting out. The wires were repaired with a quick short replacement. Lid went up for in tank work. After
lid down the problem was investigated. We checked the radiation levels at all of the stations to come up with a plan to determine witch of |

Thursday, February 02, 2012, 16:54, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 2, Cooling, T2 Device Air Line Issue
|
While checking operation of the M9 and M20 beam blockers earlier this week, a strange noise was noticed coming from the T2 cooling package area. It
is a squealing sound that starts when M9BB, M20BB, or T2 profile monitor are actuated and continues for approximately 30 seconds, then stops. The
source was eventually narrowed down to somewhere on the air supply line coming from the air amplifiers on the south mezanine. When the air amplifiers |

|
The following work was performed on the T1 cooling package:
- New filter housing installed for Col. A filter. The new housing has a drain valve to prevent water spills during future filter changes.
- Ball valve installed upstream of Col. A filter to allow proper isolation of filter during filter changes. |

Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 10:31, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Cooling, T1 Cooling Package - Potential Water Leak
|
The T1 expansion tank warning level sensor had tripped and the level was approximately 1cm from the base of the tank. No trip warning was observed
when Tom Lyth checked the panels last week. The T1 cooling package and target monolith were inspected and no water was observed. Two puddles
of water were found in the BL1A tunnel around the T1 package area: one directly below the 1AQ9 Cable Interlock Tray, and another approximately 1.5m to |

Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 17:28, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Cooling, T1 Package Water Leak - Update
|
The water level in the T1 cooling package expansion tank was checked again today approximately 24 hours after it was refilled. The level
had dropped about 5cm, equating to roughly 3.5L of water lost.
The T1 package was inspected thoroughly and no water was found. A leak on the target in the beamline is suspected. The T1 package has |

Thursday, March 22, 2012, 13:58, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Cooling, T1 Package Water Leak - Update
|
Vacuum group pumped down on the T1 & T2 volumes (because there is no cold trap on the T1 pump) for approximately 1 hour this morning. A
significant amount of water was found in the base of the cold trap which confirms our suspicions of a water leak on the T1 target.
Tomorrow we will transfer the T1 target from the beam line to the hot cell for inspection, leak checking, and repair. |

Thursday, May 24, 2012, 18:26, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 2, Cooling, Water Leak From T2 Cooling Package (Disconnected from Target)
|
Today I noticed a "NOT OK" signal from T2 water expansion tank warning level sensor. I checked the water level in the tank and
confirmed that the water level in the tank had indeed dropped. The water package is currently not connected to the target so it is not possible for
this water to enter the beam line. |

Monday, May 28, 2012, 17:17, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 2, Cooling, T2 Water Loss Update
|
The T2 cooling package, the top of the T2 monolith, and the Hansen water connections which connect the package to the target were inspected and
no evidence of a water leak was found. Kim wipes had been stuffed inside the female Hansen fittings after they were disconnected on April 12th, and
these were also completely dry. I checked with control room and there are no log entries regarding anyone starting the cooling package during the |

Thursday, June 21, 2012, 13:38, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 2, Cooling, T2 Water Package Started
|
The T2 water package was reconnected to the target and started after being shut-off since April 12, 2012. The M9 and M20 groups do not anticipate
having to vent the T2 volume, so the package will be left running in preparation for BL1A start-up in early July. There was no change in T2 vacuum
levels during start-up, and therefore no water leaks into the vacuum volume. |

Friday, June 22, 2012, 13:48, Isaac Earle, Development, Target 1, Cooling, T1 & T2 Expansion Tank Level Sensor Recording Enabled

Mike Mouat enabled recording for T1 and T2 expansion tank warning and trip level sensors on XTPAGE/XSTRIP.
XSTRIP output is in discreet integers as follows:

Tuesday, June 26, 2012, 09:05, Isaac Earle, Maintenance, Target 1, Cooling, T1 & T2 Target Water Flow Transducers Serviced
|
The target water outlet flow transducers on the T1 and T2 cooling packages were serviced (new shaft, paddle wheel, & o-ring) to address a noisy
signal. The service corrected the noisy signal. Additionally, it appears the worn parts were causing the transducers to read high, as both
dropped approximately 1 gallon/minute after the service. Both transducers would occasionally trip the high flow warning (8.5gpm), and should now |
|
Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 15:30, Isaac Earle, Development, Target 1, Cooling, T1 & T2 Expansion Tank Level Warnings Added
|
Mike Mouat and Juan Pon have modified the control system so that the control room will receive a message when the warning or trip level sensors
for the T1 & T2 expansion tanks read "NOT OK". The message also displays the current water height in the tank. This will help
with earlier detection of water leaks from the cooling package or from the target ladder in the vacuum volume when the vacuum interlock has been defeated. |
