Helping Hands During the Shutdown: A Series of Profiles During the current accelerator shutdown, many Fermilab employees have been helping out across organizational lines. Over the final weeks of the shutdown, Fermilab Today will highlight a few of the people who have pitched in for the shutdown. This article is the second in the series.
Wayne Johnson Helps LCW Group During Shutdown | ||

"Sometimes you get a little bit bored with what you're normally doing,"
says Wayne Johnson of the Particle Physics Division's Electrical Engineering
Department. That's why he enjoyed the chance to join the LCW
(low conductivity water) group during shutdown. The group maintains
the systems running de-ionized cooling water through accelerator electronics.
One big task required taking apart and cleaning several control
valves filled with "six-year-old matted grease." Johnson finds the work
"kinda neat, different, dirty." Though lacking experience, the
new workers caught on quickly and "after that we kind of pushed [Bob Lutz,
their manager] out of the way," Johnson said.
The LCW group recently found full-grown clams inside a heat exchanger.
The pumps apparently sucked in the young clams from cooling ponds,
then continued to provide them with fresh food as they matured.
Despite such tales, Johnson won't regret going back to his regular
job of designing and testing circuit boards, most recently for CDMS.
He's worked on electronics and instrumentation at Fermilab for
18 years and considers that job "kinda fun."
