  1. BLIP operations 05-3-11 Status – running at 117.5MeV BLIP weekly average beam 95.2µA. Weekly beam on target dropped from last week to only 84.0 hours. Isotope production of Sr-82 and irradiation LBNE targets downstream of the isotope targets continues. Multiple research irradiations completed. Operations issues While changing the target alignment on Friday afternoon, the target basket assembly became jammed part way in the target box. We could not budge it and cannot operate that way. There was no evident problem with the actual targets. On Monday we replaced the target box and basket assembly with a spare set. The drive motor also failed so it was replaced as well. Unfortunately then mod 5 in Linac failed, so operations resumed only this morning. Research irradiation to make Fe-52 nanoparticles was successful last week. Research irradiation to make Cu-67 was successful last week.
