The T1 motor controller hearbeat tripped (noticed this morning).
This does not seem prevent beam delivery or target ladder actuation (see screenshot, target still ready for beam).
An improperly functioning hearbeat led on a controller may indicate that the controller is beginning to fail. |

|
The RH active sump was drained (over Jul 31-Aug 01), in total approximately 5500 L of water was sent to city sewage.
We also tried to divert water from the BL1A holding tank to the active sump, and learned that we cannot run back-flow through the sump pump. The
valving configuration used here was V10, V1, SV1, V6 open - V2, V3 closed. (Note solenoid valve SV1 does not serve a purpose and energizing/powering-down |

Thursday, February 15, 2024, 14:53, Albert Kong, Maintenance, Target 2, Air amplifiers, T2 Lower Air Amplifier Maintenance/Rebuild
|
The lower amplifier for the T2 target station air supply was removed for teardown, inspection, and rebuild.
The goal of this operation is to understand wear development in the air amplifier over ~13 years of operation, and potentially determine a recommeded
service interval. |

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, November 17, 2014, 10:14, Isaac Earle, Development, Target 1, Active Sump, Filter Installed Downstream of RH HC Lab Active Sump
|
A filter housing and filter were installed by Dan McDonald on November 14 in the piping section between the Remote Handling Hot Cell Lab active sump
and the city sewer drain as shown in the attached picture. The purpose of the new filter is to prevent pieces of active material from being released
to the drain when the sump is pumped out. If small pieces of active material enter the sump they may sink to the bottom, and not be captured in a |

Tuesday, November 18, 2014, 10:52, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 1, Active Sump, RH Hot Cell Lab Active Sump Released
|
Release of the Remote Handling Hot Cell Lab active sump water was completed today by
Hua Yang. During the procedure fields of up to 0.50 micro Sv/hr were measured around the newly installed filter housing. After completion the filter was removed and replaced. The filter measured 450cpm on the |

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 |

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 |

Wednesday, July 06, 2016, 13:31, Isaac Earle, Other, Other, Active Sump, Active Sump RCR Lab and MCR Alarms Not Working - Suspect Controls Issue
|
Further tests were done on the active sump high level float switch today. The switch was triggered 1 time by filling the sump, and approximately
8 times by tilting the sensor manually. A local alarm sounded in the hot cell lab each time, but only one time in the RCR Lab and MCR (this occurred
on the final trial). Fault report #9099 has been submitted to Controls Group. Although the existing float sensor did cause a local alarm when |

Thursday, September 08, 2016, 17:26, Isaac Earle, Development, Other, Active Sump, New Active Sump High Level Switch and Electronics Installed
|
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. |
|
Thursday, March 22, 2018, 17:24, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Active Sump, RH Lab active sump released
|
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. |

Wednesday, April 14, 2021, 14:30, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Active Sump, RH Lab Active Sump pumped out
|
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. |

On Aug. 18, 2022, Operations informed RH group that an alarm activated for the full status of the MHESA B1 RCR1 Lab holding tank. Additionally another
alarm was reported in the RH control room regarding the RH sump full (Southwest Meson Hall Extension - Remote Handling area). However, there is an alarm
signal for the RH sump that was seen as OK at the MHESA Lab HMI. |
