Checked with ISAC Ops this morning and they are not available for FEBIAD training. Turned off the source until next week.

Turned the source back ON. Heaters are ramping up.

On Monday October 1, the HP-FEBIAD source was turned ON again, to complete the operator training. The last session was yesterday and for the time being the ISAC operators can play with the source when time allows, and from the ISAC Control room. For this purpose the source will be kept on this week and also over the week-end.
