Minutes of feedthrough meeting of January 24, 2000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: MGF, GV, PB, Pof, MLenc, RK, TH, RL, JL

*) Milestones -

	- The TIS burst vessel and weld test samples
	  have been completed and will be shipped
	  to CERN this week.

	- The production database is being filled
	  by GV and AD.  It is likely that fine tuning
	  of the database will continue until we are
	  into production.

	- The Berg vacuum cable Purchase Requisition 
	  was sent to TRIUMF today (24 Jan).  The PO 
	  will follow in a few days.

	- Facilities Management has started cleaning
	  the lab today (and finished on tuesday).

*) Aaron and pof are working on resource loaded schedule
   plots.  These are to be completed by 1 Feb.

*) The final hardcopy Safety Study Report (the agreement
   between UVIC and TIS on the feedthrough construction
   procedures) is being sent to us by Desirelli.

*) Albin Effernelli has agreed with an option to provide
   us with a Tee fitting (the gland) to be welded to the 
   warm flange at UVIC.

*) The HEC pigtail and LV vacuum cable order is expected to 
   go out to Axon this week. 

*) There was much discussion on the issue of the bad steel
   (MACRO-inclusions...) discovered by Nor-Cal while machining 
   the BNL flanges.  

	- BNL has asked the shop machining their pincarriers
	  to check that steel.  So far, that lot of steel
	  looks ok.

	- Mark L. travelled to Sicom to check our lot of
	  steel with a microscope.  Aside from one minor
	  flaw (~ 1 mm long) no problems were found.  Ebco 
	  has also seen no problems.

	- BNL will send Kain, Muller, Heller, and one other
	  person from BNL purchasing to Timken on 26 January 
	  to try to understand and resolve the problem.  One 
	  hopes that Timken will be able to identify how the 
	  problem occured and what steel was effected, thus making
	  it possible to reject only part of the last shipment
	  rather than the whole lot.  BNL will carry to Timken
	  a note written by Terry outline UVIC's positon.

	- Terry will stay in contact with Dave Rahm until the
	  steel issue is resolved.

	- We will hold a feedthrough meeting on wednesday
	  26 January to reassess the steel issue.
