Interoffice Communication To Charles Holcomb From D. F. Johnson 0t March 29, 1976 Subject INATTENTION TO OPERATIONS (conoco) On 3/25/76, you charged D-300 at 20:00 hrs. At 22:10, the reactor had over pressured and blew a safety disc. The problems causing the reactor to over heat were (1) reactor instrument probably in manual, (2) annunciator panel was pegged out so no audible warning alarm would come on. You have admitted these errors and we appreciate this for it saves us a lot of searching for the answer to a problem. However, this incident did cost the company approximately $2,500 in loss of VCM and sifter overflow, plus another normal charge while reactor was down changing out safety discs. Also, these errors could have caused an over exposure of VCM to many people in the plant and community and put us in violation of the OSHA standard. For the reasons of safety and cost, you must pay more attention to the# operation of the'control panel. No further bypassing of the panel alarm system will be tolerated in the control room. Future instances of inattentiveness or improper operation on your part could cause further disciplinary action. D. F.
