Beamline Downtime: Beamtime downtime summary by APS groups, 06/15/2004 to 06/21/2004

DIN	Date	Beamline	Status	Duration	Group	Description	Resolution
416	06/15/04	04-ID	Closed	15 min	AOD-EOS	Following work on the water system by ASD-ME completed during Machine Studies, FC did not reset PSS faults prior to 1600 hrs.	Request has been made to ASD-SI for the inclusion of the PSS (Version 2) status on EPICS control screens.
418	06/20/04	13-ID	Open	22 min	ASD-CTL	1) Slit Tank cold cathode gauge in Station A tripped BL-EPS. 2) FE-EPS control screens did not properly identify status of beamline.	1) Beamline Personnel reset fault and contact 0101 for FE-EPS reset. 2) ASD-CTL ( M. Smith ) changed Beamline_Status.adl to call EPS_Controls_new_BIV.adl instead of EPS_ControlsBIV.adl.

Notification by List Serve: Randy Flood has added a new notification mail list to which you may add your name. To opt in or out, use this link: http://www.aps4.anl.gov/operations/ops_www/mailing_lists.htm. The mail alias is: user_notification@aps.anl.gov . By subscribing, you will automatically receive e-mail notification of abnormal or changed conditions in the storage ring.

ANL Announces New Gate Pass System: By using your ANL domain log-in and password, you will now be able to request gate passes for visitors. To access the Gate Pass System (from on-site computer): http://inside.anl.gov. The system operates in conjunction with the Foreign Visit/Assignment Request System (FAVOR). In the case of off-hours access and long-term visits, the division office approver will need to electronically authorize these visits.

Air Temperature Fluctuations: Roger showed a graph which showed the air temperatures that were recorded. M. Kirshenbaum and R. Janik of AOD Conventional Facilities were consulted and investigated the tunnel valves. These valves are leaking and are in need of repairs. The short-term solution will be employed immediately which involves minimizing the amount of fresh air supply and putting hot water pumps on automatic (which is equivalent to turning them off during the summer, when only the tunnel ac is required).

Safety
Argonne Site Office Laser Safety Review was conducted (March 15-25, 2004). ANL-E laser safety program is mature and well-implemented with one non-compliance and three areas for improvement. Non-compliance with ANSI Standard Z163.1 -- Safety program needs to be revised to include the requirement for approval by ANL LSO of all laser SOP's, laser equipment, and laser installations. Expect Chapter 6.2 ESH Manual revision.

Improvements: Establish a system to provide information on acceptable laser eye examinations prior to authorization of laser use. Within the PARIS system laser purchase requisitions will be reviewed and approved by ESH coordinators. Through the TMS system, JHQs are to be revised reflecting different roles in LCA (i.e., training for authorized user, scientific collaborator, spectator, visitor, service personnel).
