OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): G. Dimitoglou
SCIENTIST: R. Thomas/A. Fludra 
CDS INSTRUMENT: SEU detected on the primary and the secondary.  Both were 
 determined to be in an area such that the instrument could continue 
 temporarily with no problems.  The instrument will be rebooted when an
 optimal time arises.
