LN2 Dewar Repairs - Minor leaks on Vapor lines

Minor leaks on the LN2 dewar tank/plumbing were repaired today during tuesady maintenance. Most leaks found during the LN2 tank inspection (report posted to Q2000008) were easily repaired by just tightening the connections. Joints were sprayed with liquid leak detector to confirm tightness.

The only leaks not repaired were on CP5 (Tank #8514377), leaks on the safety burst adapter. We put a wrench on the fitting and could only get ~1/16th of a turn. The threads have large amount of sealant making it difficult to tighten the fitting any more. I will ask for a quote from Norco to isolate the burst disk and repair the threads/leak.
