Table IV lists all excursions at or above 100 ppm including the number of incidents. Table V shows the TWA by job classification calculated from the data in Tables I-III. Graph #1 shows the percentage of readings above 1 and 5 ppm VCM for the Reactor Building. Graph #2 shows the weekly averages for the Reactor Building and the pilot Plant. Also attached an analysis of the Plant data by w. D. Bord. is The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 100% utilization. The four G.C.'s were on computer control. i ooi 1 1 r-i Area Total >1 NA >5 NA * 25 NA 2l NA Reactor Building Recovery Comp.

Reactor Building A reactor affel leak, which caused high VCM reading in the Reactor Buildii was repaired on November 11, 1977. However, the leak had coi inated the chilled water reservoir which is used for cooling reaction. It took until November 13, 1977 before all the VCM dissipated from the water in the reservoir. W. D.
