BSC8 ITMy repair work
(Bland, Sadecki, Shankle, Jodi, Apollo-ers)

This morning, the BSC8 South door was pulled.  Taking care to set down foil stepping stones on the rubble laden flooring in the chamber, I worked my way towards the ITMy shooting pictures along the way.  Travis also entered the chamber for inspection.  We've started 3 libraries of pictures on ResourceSpace, detailed below.

Floor debris from the glass fibers:

General chamber pictures of ACB and ITMy:

Some metal shavings were found on the top of the ACB - likely shaken loose from the rogue EXC, but left behind from the Stage 0 hole tapping which occurred during the initial ACB installation.  More notes on this in a subsequent alog.  These metal shavings may or may not be the cause of the fiber breakage, although they are in the vicinity of the fibers.  We hope to do a more thorough search tomorrow for more metal flakes on the ITMy suspension.  At first pass, the 14 collected metal bits were found on the ACB top surface, while none were observed on the flooring of the chamber.

ITMy ears and horns:

2 of the 8 horns at the base of the fibers have broken off a bit low.  SUS is evaluating rewelding on these horns.

After inspection the following steps were performed:
- With tweezers, we picked up the largest bits of glass stock and fiber and collected them in petri dishes while searching for other non-glass debris.  Only one fleck of metal and a few cloth type fibers were found besides the glass debris.  The one fleck of metal was found many feet from the ITMy, back and to the NE of the FMy SUS.
- The floor was wiped from back to front, pulling most of the glass particulate out towards the door.  Wet wipes were used.  More wiping will be needed.
- The ISI was locked down by Jim, from underneath the ISI table (standing on a stool on flooring in chamber).
- The BSC repair arm and all of it's associated hardware was mounted to the door flange.
