These small leaks were the primary cause of the high 1.2 ppm average in the Reactor Building. A pipe flange leak on #2 separator was the cause of the excursion greater than 100 ppm in the Recovery Room. Bendix TWA Analysis: The computed TWA values for the poly foremen, shift foremen, reactor operators, and utility operators were above 1 ppm average. They were protected by the use of breathing air.
