TWA Only*
Attached are Plant summaries (Tables I-III) 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 while Graph #2 shows the weekly averages for the Reactor Building and the Pilot Plant. Also attached is an analysis of the Plant data by W. D. Bord.
The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 95% utilization. The four G. Co 's were on computer control.

All readings greater than <or equal to 100 ppm VCM are tabulated in Table IV. Four readings at or above 100 ppm occurred this report period reflecting three separate incidents. One incident occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the center aisle, 1st and 2nd floors. No incidents occurred in the Recovery Compressor Room during this report period. One incident occurred in the Pilot Plant Reactor Building affecting the centrifuge. One incident occurred in the General Area affecting the VCM transfer pumps in the tank farm.
