keyword=Target Crash
At 6:00 AM, the target temperature controllers went blank for a minute or so and the low pressure alarm went off. When the temperature controllers came back the target temperature was 18.3 and the charts on the target computer had flat-lined. At this point the target operator reset the IOC. When the computer came back, control to the JT valves was lost. The computer showed the valve position to be 0.0 while the TV screen showed 46 consequently the target boiled off. Several attempts at reseting the
JT valves failed, meanwhile JP was called and while he was on his way we called for a control access.
