It was confirmed that the water level in the tank of the cooling water system attached to the Y-10 vacuum pump unit on the Y-arm had decreased to approximately one-third of its normal level.
Consequently, on March 25, we performed a complete tank replacement, which also served to refill the water.
After the replacement work, we left the cooling water system cover off to monitor the rate of water loss.
During a routine inspection on March 27, it was confirmed that there was no further water loss, so we reinstalled the cooling water system cover.
A decrease in the water level of the cooling water system tank has also been confirmed for the X-10 vacuum pump unit on the X-arm.
We plan to replenish the water during the next maintenance operation.
