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 494 readings p> 1 ppm, 15 excursions ,j 25 ppm and 1 reading ^"100 ppm.
The Pilot Plant showed 595 readings ^l ppm, 1 excursions 25 ppm and no readings x"100 ppm.
The General' Area showed 278 readings excursions .>*25 ppm land 4 readings ;p-100 ppm.
1 ppm, 20
The Lift Station showed 43 readingsT* 1 ppm and no excursions ^25 ppm.
The Parshall Flume showed 107 readings J> 1 ppm and no excursions 25 ppm.
All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm are tabulated in Table IV. Thirteen readings at or above 100 ppm occurred during this report period reflecting ten separate incidents. One incident occurred in the Reactor Building affecting the first and second floor center aisles.
