Friday, October 02, 2015, 17:25, Ron Kuramoto, Standard Operation, Target 1, Target, Raise Target to lower Rad levels for 1AM7 repair
|
Today the T1MK2 target was moved from Position 4 to Position 0 to lower the Rad fields for the 1AM7 repair in the 1A Tunnel. The Rad levels were still
to high only dropping by 1000uSv/Hr to 5000uSv/Hr, so the 1AM7 repair is planned for next Tuesday's maintenance day on Oct 6th. 1A will be off till
then giving a longer cool down. |
Friday, May 01, 2015, 16:01, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Other, RH Warm Cell Used by Beamlines Group for TNF Heat Exchanger Leak Check 
|
The Meson Hall RH Lab Warm Cell was used by Beamlines Group for hydrostatic testing of the TNF heat exchanger. The location was chosen because
of access to a water supply, active drain, and the heat exchanger has removable contamination. The work took place on April 30th and May 1, 2015.
New plastic sheet was placed over the 6 foot block in the center of the warm cell which was used as a work area. The plastic was removed after |

Friday, April 22, 2016, 14:45, Isaac Earle, Other, Other, Active Sump, RH MH Hot Cell Lab Active Sump Water Released
|
The Remote Handling Hot Cell Lab Active Sump has been released to city sewer following the procedure in Document-64834. The water was close to
the sump high limit switch (approximately 5800L). Before release the water was sampled, tested, and approved for release by RPG. The tritium
analysis form has been filled out and returned to RPG,. |

Tuesday, June 28, 2016, 08:32, Isaac Earle, Other, Other, Active Sump, RH MH Hot Cell Lab Active Sump Overflow
|
A call was received from the MCR at approximately 21:30 on Monday June 27th to report that active drains in the east end of the Meson Hall were
backing up and overflowing. I came in and found the leak coming from a broken spray nozzle in a sink in the rad waste area. The leak was stopped
at which point there were puddles between 1-2m diameter around the active sump top flange, the drain directly south of the warm cell water windows, and |

Tuesday, June 28, 2016, 16:28, Isaac Earle, Other, Other, Active Sump, RH MH Hot Cell Lab Active Sump High Level Sensor Test
|
The high level sensor for the Meson Hall Hot Cell Lab Active Sump was tested today and worked as expected. When the sensor is tilted (as
occurs when the water level rises above it) an audible alarm sounds in the hot cell lab, and the Safety Panel in the MCR also alarms with "MHESA B1
RCR1 RM 6 WARN" displaying NOT OK. This alarm sounds every 3 minutes in the MCR until the PLC outside of the RCR lab is reset. When the |

|
The RH Lab active sump level reached the high limit yesterday due to an overflow of the ultrasonic cleaner in the Rad Waste Area. The sump
was sampled by RPG, and after analysis the water was approved for release. The water was pumped out today. Local and MCR alarms functioned
as expected. |

Friday, September 07, 2012, 16:39, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Target, RH Lab Crane Repaired
|
The "west" button on the crane pendant was broken, and the crane would occasionally continue moving west when the button was released.
The button was replaced by a Gordon Crane technician, who also did a crane inspection. The hoist in the target flask is also due for an inspection,
but it was not possible to do it this visit. Neil Wong will try to have it done next time a crane technician is in. |

|
The RH Lab Active Sump reached the high level sensor at some point overnight before the April 8th work day. Maico Dalla Valle noticed the
alarm in the morning and notified RPG and myself. I also received a notification by e-mail from Vicky Hannemayer who had been contacted by Ops because
of the RCR alarm. |

Thursday, November 22, 2012, 17:22, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 1, Active Sump, RH Lab Active Sump Released
|
On Wednesday November 21 at approximately 9am the level of the Remote Handling active sump was inspected and found to be at approximately the 7000L
level. The high level alarm sounds at approximately 5800L. The high level alarm had been silenced by somebody, and RH staff had not been notified.
It is unknown when the high level alarm was reached. The total sump volume is 7200L (which if exceeded will cause active water to spill on |

Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 14:05, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 1, Active Sump, RH Lab Active Sump Level Sensor Inspected
|
A notification was received that the RH lab active sump level sensor is due for annual inspection. The sensor was tested and is working properly.
The water level was observed to be only a few inches below the sensor level. Ken Buckley was notified and someone from his group will sample
and drain the tank according to the procedure in Document-64834 |

Monday, September 28, 2015, 10:29, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Active Sump, RH Hot Cell Lab Active Sump High Level Sensor Tested
|
The RH hot cell lab active sump high level sensor was tested as part of the yearly scheduled inspection. High water level was simulated by
tilting the sensor sideways with a long pole sample scoop. The Main Control Room and Hua Yang from Nuclear Medicine were notified before the test.
The alarm sounded as expected, and a message was received in the main control room. This is a latching signal, so a Control Room operator will |

Today (May 31, 2013) I was contacted regarding a burning smell and high temperatures around the T1/T2 controls racks. Erwin Klassen, Bill
Rawnsley, Graham Waters and myself investigated and found that the cooling fans for two power supplies on the T1/T2 control racks had failed and both units
were warm to the touch. The power supplies are labeled "T1 Power Supply" and "T2 Power Supply" in racks 1-F and 1-A respectively. |
