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.
The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 98% utilization. The four G. C,, 's were on computer control.

All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm VCM are tabulated in Table IV. Twenty onei readings at or above 100 ppm occurred this report period reflecting five separate incidents. Three incidents occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the center aisle 2nd floor, and #2 stripper platform. Two incidents occurred in the Recovery Compressor Room affecting #1 and #2 recovery systems. No incidents occurred in the Pilot Plant or in the General Area during this report period.
