Cader at Flemington VCM Exposure Data - Flemington Plant Bendix Monitbring System Period: December 13, 1975 to December 19, 1975 copy to W. De Bord W0 Fo Gabel Do M. Hershkowitz W. Miringoff Po M. Reed F0 X. Ritter M. K. Rosen G. I. Rozand F. Toca Attached are area summaries, summaries of excursions above 1, 5, 25 and 100 ppm VCM and a listing of all excursions observed at or above 100 ppm VCM. Monitoring points RE #9 and #20 were taken out of special service on December 16, 1975 and returned to normal service. The plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 97% utilization. The following summaries are taken from a tabulation of 25% of the data or one set of readings per hour. The Reactor Building showed 1,019 readings excursions 25 ppm and 5 readings^ 100 ppm. 1 ppm, 48 The Pilot Plant showed 214 readings 1 ppm, 1 excursion ^ 25 ppm and no readings ^ 100 ppm. The General Area showed 79 readings ^ 1 ppm, 11 excursions ^ 25 ppm and no readings > 100 ppm. The Lift Station showed 33 readings > 1 ppm, 10 excursions 5* 25 ppm and 2 readings >* 100 ppm. The Parshall Flume showed 116 readings 1 ppm, no excursions 25 ppm and no readings v 100 ppm. All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm are tabulated in Table IV. Forty-one readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting sixteen separate incidents. Eleven incidents occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the center aisle first and second floors, slurry transfer pumps, stripper platforms, recovery vacuum seal pump, south and west wall areas. Two incidents occurred at the tank car unloading area and three incidents occurred at the Lift Station. There were no incidents in either the General Area or Pilot Plant. TC:ms J, Cadet) T.
