  1. BLIP operations 5-25-10 Status – running at ~180MeV BLIP weekly average beam increased to 92.3µA . Linac and BLIP measurements do not agree. Total operating time dropped to 155.8 hours due to maintenance time and replacement of RF mod 6. Operations issues Research irradiation for Cu-67 development was successfully completed. Samples were distributed off site for evaluation to 3 investigators. Irradiation will continue at 180 MeV to irradiate the LBNE and standard isotope production targets until May 31. MCR will shut BLIP off at 9:00AM. End of production program. BLIP will restart June 1 with a brief Al foil irradiation at 117.5 MeV for a radiochemcial determination of absolute beam current using Na-24 monitor reaction. Immediately thereafter a 24 hour irradiation of test RbCl targets will be run at 117.5 MeV. On June 2 another 24 hour RbCl target test irradiation with octupole beam profile will be run. On June 3 a 1 hour research irradiation at 66 MeV with standard intensity profile is planned for development of Y-86 , followed by a 24 hour irradiation for Cu-67 development. End of run June 4.
