A fault was reported June 21, 2022 (Fault
15033) regarding T1 inlet pressure warnings... the pressure reading slowly dropped over time as seen in the attached strip tool screenshot (B1A:T1CS:PGIN).
The pressure reading issue is attributed to a fault pressure transducer. The transducer was replaced on Oct. 11, 2022 my M. Dalla Valle. It is currently |

Wednesday, January 11, 2023, 15:22, Adam Newsome, Repair, Target 2, Target, T2 Target Ladder Motor - Coupling Failure
|
It was reported on Dec. 20, 2022 that when Operations attempted to run the target ladder motor, it was unresponsive. A fault report was created: 15477.
During winter shutdown 2023, the T2 area was uncovered and the motor was inspected on 2023-01-11 by Adam Newsome and Maico Dalla Valle. The connectors
and cabling appeared OK. |

Thursday, January 12, 2023, 10:36, Adam Newsome, Maintenance, Target 1, Water Leak, T1 and T2 - Cooling Package Water Leaks - Ball Valves
|
Upon uncovering the T1 and T2 areas to prepare for regular cooling package maintenance, it was discovered that multiple ball valves were leaking. Primarily
the Swagelok SS-45S12 parts, but some SS-45S8 parts have failed as well. There were small puddles of water underneath many of the valves. It appears that
the leak is due to a compromised seal. It is suspected that these parts failed from radiation exposure. They have PTFE packing material which is highly |

Monday, January 16, 2023, 09:54, Adam Newsome, Standard Operation, Other, Cooling, T1 and T2 - Cooling Package Drained
|
On Jan. 13, the T1 and T2 cooling package water reservoirs were drained to the BL1A holding tank. Water samples were obtained for each system and provided
to RPG for analysis.
Prior to starting draining, the BL1A holding tank water level was approximately 330L. After draining, the water level was approximately 550L (checked |

Monday, January 16, 2023, 15:06, Adam Newsome, Repair, Other, Active Sump, RH Active Sump - draining flow rate sensor repair
|
The flow rate sensor used to monitor the drain rate from BL1A holding tank to active sump, located in the active sump area, was repaired. The paddle
wheel, o-ring, and shaft were replaced. This part was significantly worn prior to replacement.

Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 13:46, Adam Newsome, Maintenance, Other, Active Sump, Filter Change: RH Active Sump and BL1A Holding Tank Drain Output
|
The CUNO filters were changed 2023-01-17 for:
BL1A Holding Tank drain output, adjacent to the pump
RH Active Sump, adjacent to the V2 valve
Both of
these filters are in-line with the drainage lines from the BL1A holding tank to the active sump. It was suspected that they have not been changed in many |

Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 13:49, Adam Newsome, Repair, Other, Active Sump, Active Sump - Valve V6 Leaking
|
It was noticed today (2023-01-17) that the valve V6, used in draining the BL1A Holding Tank to the Active Sump, was leaky. This valve should be replaced
as soon as possible. It has been added to the MS
Planner maintenance tasks list. |

Thursday, May 11, 2023, 11:28, Adam Newsome, Repair, Target 1, Target, T1-MK1 - broken target ladder motor coupler repaired
|
See Cyclotron Fault 15787. The target ladder motor failed to move to the commanded position during a test. The T1 area was uncovered and the motor assembly
was inspected by M. Dalla Valle, A. Newsome, and A. Kong. It was determined that the rubber coupler which connects the motor shaft to the drive assembly
had degraded and snapped. This is similar to an incident which recently occurred on T2. The coupler was replaced with an all-metal version. The system |

Tuesday, July 18, 2023, 09:14, Adam Newsome, Other, Target 1, Cooling, T1 Cooling Package: target flow (FGTGT) sensor noise issues
|
Between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm on July 17, 2023, the T1 target cooling water flow rate sensor exhibited some noise which resulted in it dropping below the
warning/trip limit. The control room requested that the threshold values be lowered - permission was granted. The thresholds were set to 2.3 gpm for both
warn and trip levels. See attached screenshot from EPICS sensor data. The occasional spikes and dips continued throughout the night fairly consistently. |
