BSC Assembly Status (for Tues work)

Clean & Bake Assistance

(5) SEI personnel devoted morning to assisting Clean & Bake with wrap/bag/tag of parts removed from Oven in the morning.

Moving Plates

Now that we had space, set of three Stage1 plates were shuffled around at the VPW, and then shuffled around down at the Staging Building.  Stage-1 was moved on to the granite table.

Stage1 Work

Stage1 Base Plate was pre-assembled (Ballast weight/dowel pins/helicoils installed).  This required a flip of the plate; a Class B Teflon sheet was useful for this (see photos).  Walls were also installed on this Base Plate as well.

Actuator SubAssembly Work

Have moved on to helicoiling parts for the Small Actuators.

Sorting Parts

Started going through a pile of hardware from a recent bake load and sorting out in the BSC work area.
