|
The following tasks were completed:
Yesterday (Jan 18), the T1/T2 cooling packages were inspected for leaks and some moisture was found underneath the CUNO filters behind
the resin cans on both T1/T2. It was determined that the source of the leak was a loose fitting on the drain valves of the CUNO filter housing (see photo). |

Thursday, May 23, 2024, 17:10, Albert Kong, Standard Operation, Target 1, Target, T1-MK1 Target Exchange (+ leak fix, service panel changes, coupler exchange) 36x
|
On May 23, 2024 two sets of plugs from position 1 and 3 and a 12mm Be target from position 5 (serial #109) was removed from T1-MK1 in the Meson Hall
remote handling hot cell.
The plugs and spent target are kept in the secondary hot cell (East) on the lift table for future beamspot imaging and to cool down prior to disposal. |

Monday, August 11, 2014, 16:57, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 2, Other, Air Amplifier Increased Cycle Rate
|
On Friday August 8th Ron Kuramoto observed that the Meson Hall air amplifier cycle speed had increased. Cycle time measurements were taken on Monday
August 11th. The lower amplifier was found to be cycling 17 times per minute, and the upper air amplifier 16 times per minute (approximately 4s cycle
period). The cycle period for both amplifiers was measured in June 2012 and found to be approximately 25s. Note that a cycle is defined as |

Wednesday, August 13, 2014, 16:34, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Other, Amplified Air Leak Narrowed Down to T1 Area
|
During the maintenance day today, amplified air to the T1 area was valved off in an attempt to pin point the location of the air leak. The
air amplifier cycle rate returned to normal with the T1 line valved off, indicating the leak is somewhere on the T1 profile monitor air cylinders, the
T1 septum polarity switch, or on the supply lines to these devices. Because these devices will not be used in the near future, the line will be left |

Monday, November 17, 2014, 10:25, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 1, Other, Amplified Air Leak In T1 Area Repaired
|
While the 1A blocks over the T1 area were removed last week the opportunity was used to investigate an air leak on the amplified air system discovered
on August 11, 2014.
The leak was found to be coming from a device related to the septum polarity switch located behind (south of) the septum power supply on the 1A |
|
Friday, December 19, 2014, 14:35, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 2, Other, Amplified Air Shut Off
|
The BL1A amplified air system has been shut off, and will remain off until required for BL1A start-up in Spring 2015 (the lower of the two units was
in use, with the upper unit on standby as a spare). |

Wednesday, January 14, 2015, 15:06, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Target 1, Other, Active Item Stored in East Hot Cell
|
The active item discovered on January 9, 2015 outside the BL1A bootbox has been moved to the Meson Hall east hot cell for storage. The item was
analyzed by RPG and the radiation was found to be coming from activated metal contained by dried paint in the bottom of a plastic container. The
solidified paint puck was removed from the container which is not active. The item is approximately 20microSv/hr at 0.5m, and 1.3mSv/hr on contact. |

- T2 Protect Monitor moved from the beam line to the hot cell on Monday April 20th
- Elevation of the plate center measured at 1839.0mm from the base of the vacuum flange
- Old monitor cassette photographed (attached). Heat mark noticed on exit side approximately 10mm above and 5mm south of plate centers (cause |

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, May 08, 2015, 09:48, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Other, BL1A Blocks Restored
|
Replacement of the BL1A blocks was completed yesterday (May 8, 2015) in preparation for first beam down 1A on May 12th. The attached PDF shows
a photograph of the current arrangement, and also the block arrangement at the beginning of the 2014 running period for comparison. |

Tuesday, June 23, 2015, 10:24, Isaac Earle, Standard Operation, Other, Other, BL1A Holding Tank Water Released
|
The water in the BL1A holding tank was released to the city sewer. This water was sampled, tested, and approved for release by RPG two weeks
ago. The total volume was 510L, a combination of water from the T2 and TNF systems. The total time required to pump out the water with all
valves fully open was 1hr2m. Paperwork for the water release was completed and returned to RPG. |

Thursday, August 13, 2015, 09:47, Isaac Earle, Development, Other, Other, "Clamp A" disassembled and used to build clamp "TRH1257-#01"
|
The 4" Marman flange clamp (IRH0001) labeled "Clamp A", as used in the testing detailed in Document-114623 Release 1, has been disassembled.
The parts were used to build a TRH1257 clamp which uses the new TRH1259 jaw with 0.480" jaw root width. This new clamp has been labeled
"TRH1257-#01", and will be tested with Helicoflex H-303654 seals in the near future. |

The following tasks were completed over the past 2 weeks:
- Aquarium Technology Ltd. (UK) was contacted regarding best method for replacing window seal. A detailed procedure was provided (attached

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. |
|
Friday, October 09, 2015, 14:56, Isaac Earle, Repair, Target 2, Other, T2 Protect Monitor Replacement 9x
|
On Monday Oct 5th a decision was made to uncover and remove the T2 Protect Monitor due to faulty readings. The monitor had been behaving
strangely since the September shutdown, and had been getting worse over time.
- Blocks were removed over T2 starting Monday afternoon. It is necessary to remove the narrow 12' block and two 6' blocks west of the T2 |

Wednesday, February 24, 2016, 13:03, Isaac Earle, Repair, Other, Other, Target Flask 2-Ton Hoist Chain Twist Corrected
|
A 1/2 turn twist in the target flask hoist chain has been corrected to address a deficiency observed by inspectors by Gordon Crane. This
was accomplished by first holding the flask door yoke at the top position using rope slings, then lowering the hook block spider approximately 6",
then lifting the stationary end of the hoist chain approximately 2" using the Meson Hall main crane to make the top of the chain slack. |

Thursday, March 24, 2016, 14:46, Isaac Earle, Other, Other, Other, TNF / 500MeV Resin Cans Removed from Storage Pit #1
|
Three used TNF / 500MeV system cooling system resin cans were removed from the Meson Hall target storage pit (two from Hole #1, one which was stored
below block #1).
Two new active cans will be returned to Hole #1 after the TNF resin is changed in a few weeks time. |

Monday, April 11, 2016, 13:51, Isaac Earle, Development, Other, Other, Target Transfer Flask Hoist Hook Lower Limit Adjusted
|
The lower limit of the flask hoist hook has been adjusted. The travelling nut for the lower limit was rotated 3 notches closer to the upper
limit travelling nut which resulted in an additional 1-3/8" travel of the hook at the lower limit. The door hinges and door cable pulleys were
lubricated with WD-40 and actuation of the doors was tested several times. |
