TWA Only*
Attached are Plant summaries (Tables I-III). Table IV lists all excursions at or above 100 ppm 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 while 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 1007, utilization. The four G. C. 's were on Bendix control.

All readings greater than or equal to 100 ppm VCM are tabulated in Table IV. One reading at or above 100 PPM occurred this report period, reflecting one incident. No incidents occurred in the Reactor Building or in the Recovery Compressor Room during this report period. One incident occurred in the General Area affecting the tank car unloading platform. No incidents occurred in the Pilot Plant during this report period.
