Operations Robots Closing of target valve on FE#6 Ventilation Robot door relay problem (24 hour delay) Flat batteries Electronic card failure Loss of calibration (4 hour delay) Closing of target valve on FE#6 Prevents re-use of targets as re-coupling is impossible Intensive investigations on-going Ventilation Failure of ventilation pulsing in Class A labs caused a leak of activated air towards the labs.

Operations Beam Instrumentation Magnets Water panel Exchange of the GPS.FC490 following reports of incomplete movement Prototype pico -ampere meters (PAM) running at REX all year Keithley system to be replaced by PAM during the shutdown period Magnets Recuperation of “unused” BH15 controllers of HRS to repair GPS magnet control New NMR Tesla-meters have improved field regulation problems Failure of phase in power supply preventing operation at higher masses a GPS Water panel Failure of pump Interruption when changing target Regulation of flow Transformers and target power supplies Power off due to water, vacuum interlocks, plc’s Vacuum: Second slow vacuum gauge now providing interlock signal to transformer (HT sparks) Water: Revision of water panel this shutdown. Close monitoring of flow. RFQ RF amplifier Purchase of off-the-shelf amplifier being investigated He gas consumption/replacement HT Failure of modulator power supply causing a rise time in HT of 40ms instead of 6ms Manual FUG power supply put in place New PS to be ordered

Operations Vacuum controls New PVSS controls have been used all year, but not without a few minor problems. Command memory To be addressed in version upgrade during shutdown Vacuum threshold between experiment and beam line 8 E -04 mbar. Please ensure good pumping on experimental side. ISOLDE Controls New application for target start-up Includes vacuum sequence and water cooling VISTAR Modification of beam current averaging to smooth out peaks. Target operation features included in VISTAR including HT On or Off Logger, request for p-beam logging for experiments Logging device to measure all parameters

REX - Upgrade and development 1. Consolidation of REXTRAP * New PLC Control system RF system Beam diagnostics Application * Improved Voltage sampling * Some new power supplies Ready by beginning of May 2011 2. Consolidation of REX vacuum system PVSS (remote) control of complete system Some new gauges and pumps 3. TwinEBIS arrival from Manne Siegbahn Laboratory Act as spare solenoid test bench for cathodes and guns Plan Installation during 2010 Q1-Q3 F. Wenander & D. Voulot

Evaluated consequences of long-lived beams at REX-ISOLDE Conclusions from meeting 1.       INTC informed by RP and the technical committee about the consequences for machine maintenance and chamber openings in case long-lived radioactive beams are accepted. 2. IEFC informed of that measures will be required 3.      Apply same beam rules as for the rest of ISOLDE. 4.       We will be prepared for the worst-case scenario in terms of measures that need to be taken for maintenance (e.g. air lock / tents around areas to be opened), although, based on the experience from ISOLDE, such measures are very unlikely.

FE#7 - Justification The Front End #4 in place was installed in 2001 Expected lifetime 5 years Radiation hardening of materials The 60kV acceleration voltage can no longer be maintained Maximum voltage 40kV Change of extraction electrode tip only helped slightly Extraction electrode arm very dirty and cannot easily be cleaned Breakdown of HT transfer insulator imminent Reinforced with Stycast epoxy for the second time in 2010 Postponement to next long term shutdown (option) 2012 or 2013 Operation at 30-40 kV Infrastructure required to test new FE#7 in situ not guaranteed until very end of shutdown. And as from midnight this morning, the ventilator cooling of the GPS FE has stopped functioning. Estimated lifetime of pumps without cooling – 4 days

FE#7 - Justification

FE#7 - Experience from FE #6 Installation Collective dose 75% of first estimate Rigorous follow-up and documentation of all phases Weekly briefings More detailed work planning EDMS doc. 1068280 For images RP report EDMS 1095195 Visualization Transport to ISR Parallel preparation for FE#7 Controls, cabling, tests Stefano Marzari

FE#7 - Differences HT transfer tube at 90 deg and enters directly into HT racks in HT room BTY line needs to be removed Stefano Marzari

FE#7 - WDP and RWP Work Dose Planning Radiation Work Permit Each participating support group will be responsible for estimating its role and intervention time in the radioactive zone. Currently under completion, deadline today. Radiation Work Permit To be completed by RP as a function of WDP. When both are completed. Present documents to RP and RSO who will then present a summary to the accelerator sector head asking if an ALARA committee should be requested.

News From EN Target Area Upgrade Project Robots Visualization Hot Cell EN-HE Visualization Hot Cell EN-STI Waste disposal pathway EN-STI & RP

Robot replacement Lack of contingency to recuperate situations after a failure of the robot system. Ageing of system leading to an increase in breakdown frequency. Modifications of current programs not possible Spare parts are becoming sparse Need a more reliable and flexible system Remove robot from high dose rate in target area Maintenance, and rad hard issues

Robot - Conceptual design - robot on AGV AGV parks outside target area during ISOLDE operation Trenches filled-in for better front end exchange More flexibility with AGV operation K. Kershaw

Robot- Initial Tests at Staubli Robot-mounted camera checks position of support before placing target. Trials demonstrated correction for support movements of over 50mm To be used for target confinement tests in 10 days K. Kershaw

Waste elimination -Background ISOLDE uses thick targets (about 100 different target/ion-source combinations) ISOLDE uses about 25 targets per year – ranging from SiC to UC and ThC targets ISOLDE user community requests about 50 – 60 % of beam time from Actinide targets (UC and ThC) => production of about 15 UC and ThC targets per year Used targets are temporarily stored in ISR5 gallery (simple and cheap installation dating from late 90th) -> Temporary storage saturated with about 200 targets stored on one level

ISOLDE Target Disposal => PSI insists on dismantling of ISOLDE targets and separation of components according to chemical composition into 4 categories as required by NAGRA : aluminium, target material and ion source, other metals, organics and ceramics 2006 – 2009: 4 target dismantling campaigns of light targets (54 targets) with acceptable low dose rate had been performed Requirements for further dismantling targets of a higher dose rate and actinide targets require a hot cell for dismantling actinide targets require oxidization prior to disposal – on request by PSI 89 UC2 targets + 9 Th targets

Status Hot Cell for target dismantling Compatible with remote handling and waste treatment. Initial feasibility specs done Initial delay because of lack of resources Expected time line 3 years but start delayed due to Oxidation process must be part of the specs Need to provide buffer zone for target storage and confine target units One outside company replied to the possibility of out-farming 1.17 MEuros, without transport and containers Hot Cell would be located in Dresden. Oxidation and preparation for PSI not considered Oxidation of UC2 to UO2 as required by the Swiss authorities A new “buffer” zone for target storage at ISR Containment of future targets To be compatible with future dismantling facility Remote handling and new shelf system

UC2-Bristol University Collaboration Extended experience in working with actinides in collaboration with AWE. BU have the infrastructure and license to carry out experiments 4 work packages Characterisation of starting material Imaged oxidation experiments Gas cell water vapour oxidation experiments Microbalance oxidation experiments To build a complete picture of the oxidation process… XRD, XPSD, FIB, EBSD, SEM, RGA, gas rigs Process to be adopted and included in Hot Cell specs. UC samples have finally arrived at Bristol University and work is starting. Delay due to time required to export pills > 3 months Results by April next year

Handling in target area Storage of used targets in sealed drums Addressing the problem of radon out gassing Compatible with new robot system, new shelf storage and new hot cell Prototype available this week To be tested with robot installation rented at Staubli, Faverges. Metal cage to support plastic containment and allow handling Outer aluminium drum to protect plastic bag Plastic containment (sealed with glue) Alexander Stadler EN-STI

Storage in ISR3 Allows buffer time/space for the installation and commissioning of the Hot Cell Space for 6 standard shelf units On each shelf unit space for 24 targets Space for minimum 144 targets (4-5 years of ISOLDE operation) Installed this coming shutdown Alexander Stadler EN-STI
