|
Preliminary testing of the new PLC control system and EPICS interface was completed today for the T1 target, T1 cooling package, and T1 collimator.
All systems behaved as specified. This test did not include testing of any T1 thermocouples which will be included as part of the T2 test program
to follow. This is not considered system commissioning, which will follow after all preliminary testing is complete and the commissioning plan document |

Friday, May 31, 2013, 16:07, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Target, Power Supply Fan Failure
|
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. |

Monday, October 05, 2015, 15:25, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Other, Old T2 Protect Monitor Cassette Update
|
The T2 protect monitor cassette removed in April 2015 (see E-log #154) was surveyed today. It was approximately 3mSv/hr at 0.5m and 15mSv/hr
on contact. It is unlikely that this monitor will ever be cool enough for hands-on elevation adjustment that it requires, therefore it has been bagged,
labeled, and transferred to the east hot cell for storage. |

|
To address the deficiencies identified in E-Logs #204 and #205 the old active sump high level switch was replaced with Omega LV164SS model (316SS stem
and float, 4' length, standard mount) using adaptor flange TRH1316 to mount to the top flange of the sump. A new electrical box was also installed
(circuit diagram attached in PDF format). The circuit was designed by Don Jackson and wired by Travis Cave. Connection to the RCR Lab PLC was |

Wednesday, March 15, 2017, 16:13, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Active Sump, Meson Hall Hot Cell Lab Active Sump Water Released
|
On March 13th in the morning the Meson Hall Hot Cell Lab active sump reached the high level sensor. The system responded as expected: high
level panel warning light illuminated, siren sounded, and MCR notified via "B1 RCR1 RM6 WARN". A 1L sample was delivered to RPG for analysis.
After approval, the sump was pumped out over the following two days. The procedure in Document #64834 was followed for sampling and pump-out. |
