CAT Chat Minutes

April 7, 2003

Information and Follow-up

User has trouble accessing the APS status page, usually during log-in from home.

Check with computer support to make sure everything is set up correctly.

User asked who ascertains that routine six-month maintenance on overhead doors has been performed.

Bill answered that the User is responsible to contact the floor coordinator if the doors are to be maintained.

User noted that the communication process needs improving as there were some beam stability problems this week and notification was slow.

Glenn answered that CY Yao, AOD MCR Operations, did notice problems. We will continue with our efforts to make the announcements as soon as APS sees a problem occurring. There is a standing order in the Control Room that an announcement will be made if there is more than 10 microns rms motion for more than 10 minutes.

Work affecting beamlines during April-May maintenance period - B. Wesolowski: Bill presented and explained the work schedule for the April-May, 2003 maintenance period. This schedule follows:

Work affecting beamlines during the April-May Maintenance Period (4/22 thru 5/22/2003)

Switchgear maintenance X1 Saturday, April 26, 2003

LOM 431 and Sectors 1, 2, & 3
Power will be off from approximately 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
EFOG will contact beamline personnel and establish some 120V power to their area for necessary items.

Work on low temperature hot water lines

This work will begin on April 22^nd and continue thru May 20^th. Areas of piping will be drained starting April 22^nd. This will affect all LOMs and the experimental hall floor. The affect will be loss of heating, so we may experience some cool temperatures if the weather does not cooperate. As work progresses, areas will be refilled to minimize the time of inconvenience. The work will also require moving apparatus on the floor so that workers can access the pipe joints. EFOG will work with beamline personnel to move (as required) and protect apparatus on the floor. Although lines are drained, there is always residue water leaks when the joints are repaired.

The preliminary schedule is:

Sectors 1,2,3,4,5,6 will be worked on during the period of Apr. 23^rd to May 8^th

Sectors 7,8,9,10,11,12 will be worked on during the period of May 8^th to May 20th

Sectors 21,22,23,24 will be worked on during the period Apr 29^th to May 8th

Sectors 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 will be worked on during the period May 8^th to May 20th

Decker Chicane will take place in sectors 11, 12, &13.

Safety - E. Chang: OSHA Inspection - OSHA will inspect two laboratories: Oak Ridge National Laboratory on May 5, 2003; and Argonne National Laboratory in late June or early July, 2003.

We are working with the laboratory to submit certain preliminary information now.
