Table IV lists all excursions at or above 100 ppm VCM including the number of incidents. Table V shows the TWA by job classification calculated from the data in Tables I-III. Graph #1 shows the percentage of readings above 1 and 5 ppm VCM for the Reactor Building. Graph #2 shows the weekly averages for the Reactor Building and the Pilot Plant. Also attached is an analysis of the Plant data by W. D. Bord. The Plant was in operation seven days for this report period running at about 100% utilization. The four Go C. 's were on computer control. Area Total >1 N% >5 N% >25 N% >100 N% Reactor Building Recovery Comp.

Three readings at or above 100 ppm occurred this report period reflecting three separate incidents. Two incidents occurred outside the Reactor Building affecting the VCM day tank area. No incidents occurred inside the Reactor Building during this report period. One incident occurred in the Recovery Compressor Room affecting #1 recovery system. No incidents occurred in the Pilot Plant or in the General Area during this report period. PDR:ms P. D.
