I. Personnel VCM Exposure
Personnel sampling during the month is summarized in this section of the report. There was one TWA value recorded during the month which was abov 1 ppm.* On November 22, an operator at #3 plant was exposed to 1.01 ppm w dropping polys. Records indicate respiratory protective equipment was wc during the sampling period.

III* Environmental Air f .... A. Leak Patrol
There were a total of 677 points checked and there were two new leaks detected. Both of the new leaks were fixed, leaving no leaks still needing repair at month's end.
B. There were no reportable VCM releases during the month.
C. There were no reactor openings above the standard during the month.
IV. Environmental Water
i
A. The highest level of VCM recorded for any of the process water sewers during the month was 9.79 ppm. This was the effluent from the No. 1-4 Plant Sump.
The highest level of VCM in the storm sewers was 0.05 ppm.
B. There were no violations at No. 004 Outfall during the month.
