Poor copper to copper continuity.Provided by butt soldered joints, this electrical quality depends on the:- tolerances of the mating surfaces- relative tolerances between 2 paired bus bars- cleaning of the surfaces- capacity of the soldering to fill the gap providing good contact- correct execution of the soldering.
Lack of internal contact SC cable to bus bar within the same cross-section: partial melting of the Sn-Ag in the bus bar during connection soldering, loss of solder
Need simultaneous presence of two effects:

Quality Control of main IC splices R_RT-top-side tests for the QC of individual
solder contacts. After repair the shunt contact on the wedge
of M3-QRL-connection, R_RT-top-side is reduced from 10.5 µΩ to 2.1 µΩ.

Examples of damaged cables found in 2009 by the personnel performing the interconnection work
NCR 1002739: Entire cable squeezed between U-piece and wedge
NCR 990852, 2 strands cutNCR 992513: Cable overheated (>580 °C)
NCR 1002739: Entire cable was squeezed between U-piece and wedge 18
i.e. important to have experienced technicians,
specifically for the most critical activities

What activities are involved for IC work?

Duration of IC work at 50 IC/week (!!!) for critical activities, 14 weeks for 1st sector, 5 weeks later for 2nd sector, 49
weeks for 8 sectors 2 shift work (on different activities), some overlap:
• 6h–10h/break/11h-15h• 12h-16h/break/17h-21h
no learning curve, no built-in contingency, no account for holiday/closure periods
must work sequentially to adjacent sector, without access constraints (i.e. first cool-down and HWC powering)
big concern is the “other activities” to be done in parallel: more realistic is to consider an additional 2-3 months 21
