Introduction  The long shutdown 1 (LS1) at ISOLDE will enable us to carry out various interventions in the facility  Routine interventions  Repairs  Maintenance  Upgrade of the facility  In the target area, labs, class A lab, experimental hall, …  ISOLDE  EN, PH, BE, TE  LS1 prepared in collaboration with several departments

Presentation of the interventions  Target area (building 838):  Handling and transfer of the targets from the target area to ISR 3  Replacement of the robots  Relocation of the services (ventilation, ducts, cooling system, electrical cables)  Repairs of the extraction electrode mecanism  Maintenance of the Front-Ends  Connection of the High Voltage and radiofrequency supply  BTY pick ups  Replacement of the shielded shelves  Installation of the RCS (Rail Conveyor System)  Proton beam alignment with the SEMGRID target

Presentation of the interventions  Building 179:  Post mortem analysis of the target NaF #478  Smear tests on the target BeO #396  Maintenance of the pumpstands  PAD/MAD installation  Hot cell and RABIT dismantling  Civil engineering of the new MEDICIS lab  Experimental hall (building 170):  Exchange of the laser windows  Work on the lasers  RFQ cooler realignment  Consolidation of ISOLDE slits  HIE ISOLDE works  Laboratories and other activities

Handling and transfer of the targets  Transfer from the target area to the ISR 3  Lowered type A container and remote controlled pedestrian stacker  Done on weekend to limit risks  Positioning of the box containing the targets in the ISR 3  First intervention to reduce the dose rate in the target area

Replacement of the robots  Installation of the shieldings and the cover plates  Decrease the dose rate before interventions > January Dismantling of the old robots, rails, cables, robot control room … Installation of the new rails, robots, … on the ceiling Installation of a cabling interface box In collaboration with EN-HE and EN-STI-TCD

Relocation of the services Assumed by EN-CV et EN-EL  Ventilation ducts, cooling system and cables are in the way of the new rails (GPS side)  Need to modify their layout in order for the new rails to have enough space to be installed

Repairs of the extraction electrode mecanism  Due to a problem on the electrode in 2012 (GPS Front- End)  Possibility to do the same repairs on HRS Front-End as a preventive maintenance

Maintenance of the Front-Ends  Annual preventive maintenance  Electrode removal  Lubrication  Cleaning  Visual inspection

Connection of the High Voltage and radiofrequency supply GPS Front-End  Installation of 2 new cables  1 for high voltage  Connect it on an existing connector  1 for radiofrequency  Install a new connector before connection  In order for the “RF source” targets to be compatible with both GPS and HRS Front-Ends Intervention made depending on the collective and individual dose

BTY pick ups  Dismantling of the 2 pick-ups  Dismantling of one pick-up’s transition chamber  Modification of the electronics, reassembly  Vacuum test  Reassembly on the BTY line then put under vacuum In Building179 Assumed by BE/BI

Replacement of the shielding shelves  Design, build and test a new shelf system dedicated to target storage inside the target area  Micro-switches indicating (in the robot control room) the occupation of each individual shelf space  Modification of the door controls (electrical control, electrovannes put outside to facilitate interventions in case of failure) In collaboration with BE/OP

Installation of the RCS (Rail Conveyor System)  Preparation of the Faraday Cage HRS  Installation of the rails to the dump RCS can be used for new cameras

Proton beam alignement with the SEMGRID target  Check of the proton beam position on the target once the PS Booster is restarted (16 th June 2014)  Corrections of the position if needed

Layout  Building 179:  Post mortem analysis of the target NaF #478  Smear tests on the target BeO #396  Maintenance of the pumpstands  PAD/MAD installation  Hot cell and RABIT dismantling  Civil engineering of the new MEDICIS lab  Experimental hall (building 170):  Exchange of the laser windows  Work on the lasers  RFQ cooler realignment  Consolidation of ISOLDE slits  HIE ISOLDE works  Laboratories and other activities

Post mortem analysis and smear on targets  Post mortem analysis on a target following a short cut  Improvement of the next set of targets of the same type  Post mortem analysis under a fume cupboard in the class A lab  Smear on a target  Is there any accumulation or a diffusion of isotopes on the surface ?  Know the composition  Smear under a fume cupboard in the class A lab

Maintenance of the pumpstands Performance of the oil pumps decreases throughout the year  Changing the oil of the 2 pumps  Contaminated oil but no dose rate  Put a special protection cover in order to protect the connections

PAD/MAD installation In charge: GS-ASE-SSE CHECK POINT RP PAD KEYS MMAD MAD

Hot cell and RABIT dismantling  Current RABIT will be replaced by a new one, dedicated to CERN-MEDICIS  Current hot cell will be replaced by a new one enabling the dismantling of actinide targets

Civil engineering of the new MEDICIS lab Buffer area RCS Mass separator New target storage New hot cell Recuperation of dumped protons for the production of medical isotopes

Layout  Building 179:  Post mortem analysis of the target NaF #478  Smear on the target BeO #396  Maintenance of the pumpstands  PAD/MAD installation  Hot cell and RABIT dismantling  Civil engineering of the new MEDICIS lab  Experimental hall (building 170):  Exchange of the laser windows  Work on the lasers  RFQ cooler realignment  Consolidation of ISOLDE slits  HIE ISOLDE works  Laboratories and other activities

Exchange of the laser windows  Laser ionisation is used for a lot of experiments at Isolde  laser passes through a window made of quartz in the separator magnets. Windows become opaque both because of the laser beam and the lost secondary beam  To ensure an efficient laser ionisation  windows are replaced each year  In the separator areas (GPS and HRS)  Protection of orings from laser light needs to be integrated

Work on the lasers  Extension of RILIS cabin  Modification of the HRS laser window holder  Make an extension tube for mounting the window outside magnet  To replace the removal tool  Easy to inspect, easy to replace  RILIS machine protection system  GPS laser beam launch  New laser for non-resonant ionization  New and improved RILIS schemes for the Dual RILIS system In charge: BE-OP and EN/STI/LPC

RFQ cooler realignement  RFQ cooler’s internal components are not aligned  Affects the beam transport  Correction of the alignement of the RFQ cooler’s internal components  Checking of the internal electrodes  Calibration of helium buffer gas valve

Consolidation of ISOLDE slits  Electronics of the controller, motors and resolver doesn’t work  Fabrication  Removal of the pieces of equipment  Replacement In collaboration with: EN/STI/ECE

Conclusion  LS1 will enable us to upgrade a large part of the facility  Several sections of the EN/STI group and several other departments will work in collaboration in order to manage all the interventions  Collective and individual doses will be reduced as much as possible and estimated thanks to the establishment of WDP  15 WDP under preparation  Safety during operations will be optimized and people will be informed
