Attached are 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. Monitoring points RE #9 and #20 remained in special service during this report period.
The plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 87% utilization. The following summaries are taken from a tabulation of 25% of the data or one set of readings per hour.
The Reactor Building showed 569 readings'll ppm, 12 excursions P 25 ppm and 1 reading p100 ppm.
The Pilot Plant showed 210 readings ~pl ppm, 2 excursions p 25 ppm and no readings ~p 100 ppm.
The General Area showed 185 readings P 1 ppm, 7 excursions P" 25 ppm and no readings P 100 ppm.
The Lift Station showed 60 readings ~P 1 ppm and no readings ^7 25 ppm.
The Parshall Flume showed 52 readings P 1 ppm, 1 excursion P 25 ppm and no readings P100 ppm.
All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm are tabulated in Table IV. Four readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting three separate incidents.
