RHIC Startup: Vacuum leak in J-17 straight section. Unable to fix it with Glyptol, too big a leak. The kapton is burned through, just like the L05 section. Pulling out quadrupole to replace vacuum section. Expect to get back on line by ~8PM. The bigger problem is "Why are we developing beam-related leaks in the pipe?" This is going to require a careful study of loss monitors, and understanding of how this could be happening.
