Noting the current state of the select systems:

  • SEI
    • HAM7 - ISI tripped due to vent work
    • HAM3 - Looks like the ISI tripped Dec 13 0723 UTC. Untripping now.
    • As vent work progresses today, we will transition HAM1&2 into safe states
  • SUS
    • All SUS damped
    • OPO is in an odd state where the guardian says it's in SAFE, but the master switch is on and signals are going out. I'm guessing that this is the result of Friday vent activities. I will confirm with that team.
  • CDS
    • No major errors or systems in odd states
  • VAC
    • Gate valves 5&7 closed
    • Currently the CS is still under vacuum.
