Attached are the 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. Also attached are two graphs: Graph #1 shows the percentage of readings above 1 and 5 ppm VCM for the Reactor Building, while Graph #2 shows the weekly VCM average for the Reactor Building and the Pilot Plant.
The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period operating at about 100% utilization. The following summaries are taken from a tabulation of 25% of the data or one set of readings per hour.

All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm are tabulated in Table IV. Fifteen readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting nine separate incidents. Seven incidents occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the center aisle 1st and 2nd floors, the recovery compressor room and number 1 and 2 strippers. Two incidents occurred in the General Area affecting the VCM tank car unloading area and tank farm VCM transfer pumps. There were no incidents in the Pilot Plant during this report period.
